Applying mulch or landscaping rock as a protective layer on top of your soil is a simple and effective way to enhance and protect your landscape. Soil that is mulched in the summer will be cooler; while in the winter, the mulched soil may not freeze as deeply. Landscaping rocks aid in areas that are too hilly, rocky or where the soil is eroding.
