Landscaping and its maintenance to keep it looking neat and manicured can require a lot of expense and time. A home’s “curb appeal” is important, not only for homeowner pride but for home value. For a business, the exterior appearance is as important as the interior to draw customers inside and to communicate that image of professionalism and attention to detail. With so much riding on it, it’s well worth keeping it looking fresh and appealing.
Though it doesn’t get the attention of beautiful flowers and sculpted shrubbery, mulch is an important part of the look of a landscape. It is the base from which the rest emerges, contrasting and highlighting the array of colors of the plants and flowers in the beds. Regardless of the beauty of the vegetation, mulch that is old and faded will give the entire landscape a tired, worn out feeling.
