@odell.landscapeservices: Even in late summer, mulch can play an important role in keeping your landscape healthy. A fresh layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture during hot, dry periods, reducing stress on plants and helping roots stay cooler. It also suppresses weeds that compete with plants for water and nutrients, while gradually adding organic matter to the soil as it breaks down. Mulch can also protect soil from heavy summer rain and erosion, keeping your beds looking clean and well-maintained. Late summer is a great time to refresh mulch before the cooler fall weather arrives. #greenwich #connecticut #landscaping #landscapedesign #cleanup
