Mulching 101

Mulching your garden in Perth has a massively positive effect on its health and appearance. Payne’s Trees and Fencing Services offers on site mulching in our woodchipper when we cut down or prune one of your trees. We can leave the woodchips in a pile anywhere you request or we can arrange to have it spread out for you. 

Woodchips can be a great mulch resource which can add nutrients to your soil, provide moisture retention for your plants and suppress weeds. Mulching in Perth is always a good idea however now that summer is coming up and it’s important to lock in that moisture that the soil has been soaked up. 

Mulching Perth Tips

Paynes Trees and Fencing Services recommends that you rake your mulch at 4 – 6 month intervals so that you will rejuvenate garden beds and allow aeration to plant roots. After 12 months, or as the mulch breaks down, it will be necessary to top dress with another layer of new mulch. Spring or early summer is the best time to do this.
