Making mistakes when mulching can keep your soil from
reaping benefits such as conserving moisture, suppressing weeds, reducing
erosion and decreasing water runoff. Landscape designers and researchers
provided their best tips for making the most of mulch in your yard.
Do use mulch as an accent
Mulching can help create healthy lawns but also has an
aesthetic value. Choose colored mulch that complements the exterior colors of
your home in the brick, stone, stucco and siding. For example, brownish/red
pine mulch goes well with brick houses, says Jeremy Becker, owner of FireFly
Landscapes in Kansas City. Using a dark mulch can contrast with flowers,
improving your landscape design. Mulch also can be used to enhance your
landscape theme and setting.
