Installing Cedar Mulch in Calgary
For most established garden beds, a cedar mulch layer approximately 2 to 3 inches deep provides practical decorative coverage while helping retain moisture and reduce weed growth.
Before installing new mulch, remove existing weeds, clear unwanted debris and prepare the planting area. Spread the material evenly over the soil without burying plant crowns or covering the bases of shrubs.
When mulching around trees, keep the material away from the trunk and leave the root flare exposed. Avoid piling mulch against tree trunks or creating raised mulch mounds, which can trap excess moisture.
Cedar mulch naturally weathers and gradually decomposes. Its colour and texture may change with sunlight, moisture and seasonal conditions. Occasional topping up can help maintain an even appearance.
Cedar mulch has a distinctive natural aroma, but it should not be relied upon as a substitute for appropriate pest management.
