Landscape Specialists Cover More Ground As National Suppliers

People all over the United States are spending more time outdoors. While planning celebrations from the graduation party on the lawn to the Labor Day barbecue, many find it worth the extra effort to make their surroundings as inviting outside as they do indoors. Landscaping is a great way to beautify a yard, but many feel they cannot afford professional landscaping and are a bit afraid to try it themselves.

Landscaping with mulch is a great option since it is easily managed by the average home resident. It also greatly reduces the time and effort spent on yard work. Mulch protects fragile plants and helps to reduce weeds. It makes garden and flower beds much more attractive which makes outdoor celebrations much more enjoyable. Accessing the garden area is much cleaner with a walking surface made from mulch. 

Many consumers are also concerned with environmentally friendly options. A lush yard requires a lot of watering, and many residents are reluctant to use the extra water it takes to keep a lawn healthy. Mulching is a great option since it reduces water evaporation up to 70%. Choosing organic mulch ensures healthier soil quality as well since it improves the fertility of the soil as it decomposes. Taking care of lawns by giving back to instead of constantly taking from the natural resources available is a great way to reduce the carbon footprint one yard at a time. 

For those concerned with price, purchasing bulk mulch is more cost effective than individual bags. Often, suppliers will not deliver less than 2 or 3 cubit yards, which is the measurement for bulk mulch. If there is a smaller area needing ground cover, bags will offer 2 or 3 cubic feet of mulch coverage.

Often, there are many local companies available. However, it is difficult for the average consumer to know the best choice for quality and pricing. The landscape specialists at 1800MulchPro have simplified the process. They consider themselves a one stop shop for finding the best landscape supplier. A consumer need only call their toll-free number or send them an e-mail, and they will be connected with a professional landscape supplier in their metro area. The selection process at 1800MulchPro only uses the suppliers in each area that have the best reputation and the most experience. 

Mulching is primarily done in the spring to ensure adequate protection during the hot summer months and to keep the soil warmer during the winter season. However, landscape suppliers offer much more than mulching materials. Soil, gravel and sand are also available from the professionals that work through 1800MulchPro. 

The Mulch Pro website is a wealth of information including what type of mulch is needed, tips for applying it and even a mulching calculator to determine the necessary amount. It also shows a map of the metro areas where suppliers are located. These suppliers are throughout the United States, so finding a nearby business is quite probable. 

It is never too late to create a beautiful space for outdoor gatherings.
