Mulch is a staple component of a properly landscaped yard. While it provides a finishing look, it also has truly important functions. Rather than foregoing the need for mulch in the Punta Gorda, Florida area, count on Beltran’s Nursery and Landscape to provide a superior product, installation services, and even follow-up maintenance.
Appearance
Without mulch, landscapes look incomplete. The aesthetic lack is startling even. To make sure that your landscape is appropriately finished, choose the type, color, and texture of mulch that will work best within your landscape based upon both your aesthetic tastes and maintenance desires.
Beltran’s Nursery and Landscape provides both rock and wood varieties of mulch. The decision between the two depends on your preferences regarding appearance and maintenance. Knowing the variety of landscapes and owner preferences, we pride ourselves on meeting customer needs appropriately with answers and assistance throughout the purchase decision.
Wood chip mulch comes in many different colors, making it flexibly applicable to all landscapes. It also doesn’t demand a great deal of maintenance, but every year, the mulch will need to be freshened with a new layer.
The rock mulch provided by Beltran’s Nursery and Landscape also provides a high level of variation, but the installation process is somewhat more intense. However, the efforts involved with this initial laying become worth it all when the degree of maintenance is considered: occasional weed killer is all that’s required!
Temperature Regulation
Keeping the ground from becoming too hot is a main concern of Southwest Florida landscapes. Throughout the year, cool temperatures aren’t often a problem, but in the summer, the heat is extraordinary. Make sure that you choose mulch from a company with a reputation for quality products to ensure that you adequately and appropriately protect your plantings from heated soil.
Weed Growth Inhibition
Weeds have a tendency to grow where they like, when they like. Fighting the battle against them works best when proper steps work in tandem. It all will be much easier, however, when a shield of mulch prevents the seed from taking root within the ground. While occasional weeds may squirm their way through, especially without appropriate maintenance, mulch will prevent most of the potential growth. For the best results, consult with the professionals here to make sure that your process is appropriate or to secure the service of our landscapers to take care of it for you.
Moisture Retention
The South Florida sun does more than heat the soil; it also evaporates the water within it. Prevent over-drying with a healthy layer of mulch. Retaining moisture is essential for the survival of your plants, and you’ll find the need to water less frequently when the mulch functions properly. Keep your blooms blooming and the weeds in check with a protective layer of bark or rock mulch.
Beltran’s Nursery and Landscape services all mulch needs. You may be a landscaping hero, aiming to handle the mulch yourself, or you might prefer a hands-off approach. Either way, we offer the products that you need and the assistance that you may desire.
