What is Ground Cover?

Ground cover, also known as landscaping mulch, refers to a layer of loose material spread across the surface of the soil around trees, shrubs, flower beds, and walkways. It serves a multitude of purposes, including:

Weed Suppression: Ground cover acts as a physical barrier, hindering weed seeds from germinating and established weeds from competing with your desired plants for sunlight, water, and nutrients.

Moisture Retention: By creating a protective layer, ground cover helps retain soil moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering and minimizing water evaporation, especially during hot and dry periods.

Temperature Regulation: Ground cover acts as an insulator, moderating soil temperature fluctuations. It keeps the soil cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, creating a more stable environment for plant roots.

Erosion Control: Ground cover helps prevent soil erosion caused by wind and rain by absorbing the impact of raindrops and slowing down water runoff.

Aesthetics: Ground cover adds a decorative touch to your landscape, enhancing the visual appeal of your garden beds and walkways. It comes in a variety of colours, textures, and materials, allowing you to create a cohesive and stylish outdoor space.
