If you are wondering if you need to have mulch around your tree and plant beds, the answer is yes.
It only benefits you to have mulch surrounding your tree and plant beds because it will prevent weeds from growing, retain moisture and aid in protecting the tree trunks from damage.
Here’s a tip: For the best results, make sure you maintain the mulch depth of approximately three inches. And in order to prevent mold growth and rot, have a small gap around your tree trunks and plants.
