The Science of Soil Moisture & Weed Suppression

Exposed topsoil in the West Metro bakes under the intense summer sun, instantly evaporating moisture and destroying the microbial layer your plants rely on for nutrients. When homeowners try to fix this by piling massive mounds of cheap mulch against the trunks of their trees (known in the industry as "mulch volcanoes"), it traps moisture directly against the bark, causing fatal fungal rot.

At FreshWater Landscaping, we install mulch scientifically. We utilize premium double-shredded hardwood that knits together to resist washing away on slopes. We strictly taper the mulch down to zero inches where it meets the root flare of your trees and shrubs, ensuring oxygen flow to the bark while locking moisture safely into the soil beneath.
