Mulching is one of the most effective ways to give your garden and plants a healthy dose of nutrients while improving its appearance at the same time. Other benefits of mulching include aiding in water retention, blocking weed growth, and protecting plants from adverse weather. Additionally, Sidney BC often experiences very cold winters with more frost than other areas of greater Victoria, and a good layer of quality mulch can help protect your garden against frost damage.

Annual mulching

We recommend mulching your gardens annually in Sidney BC. Mulch eventually decomposes into your garden and a new layer is required. Annually is generally an ideal frequency for most gardens, but we can assess your gardens needs to determine the optimal frequency. Our team re-visits several properties each year for repeated mulch application.
