Wooded estate gardens in Silvermine. Foundation plantings around modernist houses on Smith Ridge. Heritage perennial beds on Talmadge Hill. We mulch the New Canaan landscapes that range from formal estate gardens to mid century minimalist plantings, each one different.
Mulching is one of the best things you can do for the beds and the plants in them. The right mulch at the right depth suppresses weeds, retains moisture, regulates soil temperature, and protects roots through Connecticut winters and summers. The wrong depth does the opposite.
We strip old mulch when needed, edge the beds clean, and lay new mulch at the right depth. Two to three inches, pulled back from trunks. Not piled against plants.
Proper mulch suppresses weeds and reduces evaporation. Plants need less water through dry summer stretches. Roots stay protected through Connecticut frost cycles.
Shredded hardwood, wood chips, and stone options. Spring and fall installation windows. We time the work to give roots the best protection each season.

Pine bark mulch is the right choice for azaleas, rhododendrons, mountain laurel, and blueberries common in New Canaan plantings. It maintains slightly acidic soil pH that these plants prefer. Hardwood mulch can shift pH over time toward neutral, hurting these specific plants.
