Suggested Guidelines for Mulching

  • Mulch all trees that are not in grass or thick ground cover.
  • Trees and shrubs benefit from mulch spread at least as far as their outermost branches (the drip line). To prevent diseases and pest infestation, avoid piling mulch against tree trunks.
  • Use a layer of coarse mulch of 3 or more inches in depth for weed control.
  • Spread mulch under annuals after they are well established (4- to 6-inches tall).
  • Water the ground thoroughly before and after applying a mulch cover.
