Pro Contractor Tip

When installing a triple-shredded dark pine mulch, maintain a 2-to-3-inch depth across open beds and rake the top layer lightly to encourage the fine wood fibers to weave together. This interlocking matting action prevents displacement during heavy storms while allowing necessary air and water exchange to reach root systems.
