Leaf humus also acts as a soil conditioner- Clay rich soils benefit from leaf humus as it improves soil aeration and drainage and promotes deeper root growth. For sandy soils, water retention is improved and it increases the soil’s ability to hold nutrients in plant roots, decreasing the number of fertilizer applications. There can never be too much leaf humus and it can be applied during the spring, summer or fall. Mulch made with leaf humus provides built-in protection against drought, maintains soil temperature and controls weeds. Its dark, rich color gives your garden and flower beds a beautiful appearance, while always providing an excellent soil conditioner.

Most customers know that a good mulch will help to prevent the growth of weeds, but there are many other benefits to having all organic mulch in your gardens!

• Organic mulches decompose over time. This decomposition adds vital nutrients to the top layer of the soil, and eventually results in layer of rich, fertile humus.
• Mulch also protects the soil in beds from compaction due to heavy rains or exposure to excessive sun and heat.
• Mulch helps retain oxygen in the soil.
• The correct amount of mulch provides erosion control by absorbing rainfall and preventing water runoff.
• Additionally, your soil will retain moisture much longer as the mulch slows down evaporation.  During periods of drought, the mulch will retain moisture longer than beds having no mulch applied.
• Mulch also provides a habitat for beneficial organisms such as earthworms and certain spiders which assist in minimizing insects that harm flowers, vegetables and other plants.

This year we took another step in providing outstanding customer service by completely redesigning our website. With the help of our friends at Cleveland web design company, Purely Branded we have just completed a drastic rebuild or our website from the ground up.

We hope to provide a better user experience to our website visitors – one that is on par with the outstanding Cleveland tree-care services you have come to expect from us.
