Hello everyone, we have a special treat for you.  The wonderful people at Sienna Mulch have agreed to write a guest post for our TrueTreeTalk blog.  Sienna Mulch is a family-owned and operated company that carries a variety of mulch, stone, and sand; supplies for your garden; and more.  You can find them at SiennaMulch.com and on Facebook and Instagram and can visit them in Rosharon, TX.

We’re about ready to leap into spring (sorry, it’s a leap year, so we had to say it)!  This means it’s a great time of year to get a head start on your landscape.  We gave you some ideas for professional winter tree care and Sienna Mulch has some great tips for things you can do in your landscape in their guest post below.

Spring Into Action

Did y’all hear?! Phil (the famous groundhog) predicted an early spring!

You know what that means. It’s time to clean up our yards. Trim trees, add a new layer of mulch, and even add in some beautiful flowers and plants, too! It’s also important to take care of your trees.  When you trim them, or have a company do it for you, make sure the green waste is recycled. This ensures the green waste doesn’t end up in the landfill. When you opt for green-waste recycling, you are giving your tree trimmings new life as hardwood mulch. You can always visit Sienna Mulch or find a green-waste recycling center near you. (fees may apply)

This time of year, it’s also important to supply your flower beds and trees with nutrients. An amazing way to do this is by adding a layer of mulch, typically 2-4 inches deep. But not just any mulch. You want to find a reputable company that doesn’t grind trash with pallets alongside their green waste. Also, you want to make sure it is non-dyed and fully organic. Examples of these could be hardwood, pine, or cedar mulch. Not only does mulch regulate your plant’s temperature, but it helps with water retention. It also aids in weed suppression, and as it breaks down, it provides added nutrients to your soil and plants. Mulch can also protect against soil erosion.

So, let’s get together and Spring into Action!
