One simple way to support tree health is proper mulching. A layer of mulch helps retain moisture, reduce competition from grass and protect trees from damage caused by lawn equipment.

Over time, mulch also breaks down and improves soil conditions around the tree.

Proper care now can help trees stay healthier through the hotter months ahead.
