The Right Way to Mulch Around Trees (Avoid This Mistake)
Most trees are mulched wrong.

The Problem: Mulch Volcanoes
Piling mulch against the trunk:
- Causes rot
- Attracts pests
- Suffocates roots

The Right Way
- Keep mulch 2–4 inches deep
- Leave space around the trunk
- Spread wide, not tall

Think “Donut,” Not “Volcano”
- Flat ring = healthy tree
- Pile = problems later

How Much Mulch Do You Really Need? (Simple Guide)

One of the most common questions:
“How much mulch do I need?”

General Rule
- 2–4 inches deep
- Spread evenly around the tree

For One Tree
- Small tree → 5–10 bags (or bulk equivalent)
- Large tree → significantly more depending on size

Bulk mulch:
- Cheaper
- More consistent
- Better quality

Pro Tip
- A wider mulch ring is better than a deep pile.

Why Mulch Is One of the Best Things You Can Do for Your Trees?

If you only do one thing for your trees this year—make it mulch.
Mulch is simple, affordable, and one of the most effective ways to protect and improve tree health.

What Mulch Actually Does
- Holds Moisture
Mulch keeps soil from drying out during hot Kansas summers.

Regulates Soil Temperature
- It protects roots from extreme heat and temperature swings.

Improves Soil Health
- As mulch breaks down, it feeds the soil naturally.

Reduces Competition
- Mulch prevents grass and weeds from stealing nutrients.

Common Mistake: “Mulch Volcano”
Piling mulch up against the trunk can:
- Trap moisture
- Cause rot
- Damage the tree
Keep mulch in a flat ring, not a pile.

Mulch vs Compost: What’s the Difference (And What Should You Use?)
A lot of homeowners mix these up—but they serve different purposes.

Mulch
Best for:
- Around trees
- Moisture retention
- W**d control

Think of mulch as a protective layer on top of the soil.

Compost
Best for:
- Improving soil quality
- Gardens and planting areas
Compost is worked into the soil, not just placed on top.

Simple Rule
Trees → Mulch
Gardens → Compost
Problem soil → Both

Need Both?
We offer bulk mulch and compost options.

How Straight-Line Winds Cause Tree Failure (And What to Look For)

Not all storm damage comes from tornadoes.
In Kansas, straight-line winds cause a huge amount of tree damage.

What Are Straight-Line Winds?
Strong, sustained winds that:
- Push in one direction
- Knock trees over uniformly

Common Types of Damage
- Trees uprooted
- Trunks snapped mid-way
- Limbs torn off

What to Look For After a Wind Event
- Trees leaning the same direction
- Soil lifted around the base
- Broken tops or limbs

Concerned About Your Trees?
We can inspect and help prevent future issues.

Hidden Damage: Trees That Look Fine But Aren’t After a Storm

Not all storm damage is obvious.
Some trees look fine—but are actually at risk.

Hidden Warning Signs

- Slight lean
- Delayed leaf growth
- Thinning canopy

Why This Matters
These trees can:
- Fail weeks later
- Drop limbs unexpectedly

When to Get It Checked
If your tree was hit by strong winds—even if it looks okay—it’s worth a quick inspection.
