Free Mulch Giveaway Event

FREE MULCH Available through February!

Recent windstorms generated lots of mulch from downed trees and limbs. Help us to
keep this material out of landfills by using the mulch locally. Mulch is great for landscaping
planter areas and around trees. Here are just a few benefits of mulch:

• Mulch inhibits weed germination & growth
• Holds in soil moisture
• Protects plants from drying out
• Moderates soil temperature fluctuation
• Keeps plant roots cooler in Summer
• Prevents raindrops splashing soil onto plants; stops soil erosion
• Improves soil structure
• Protects tree trunks from lawn equipment
damage
• Prevents soil compaction
• Improves root structure
