Let’s talk about the importance of tree mulching. Continue below to learn why tree mulching is so important not only for the survival of your trees, but also for curbing the curb appeal of your property!
Mulching is an important part of tree care
Mulch is a man-made product that typically consists of organic materials such as wood chips, pine needles, manure, and other compost. However, they can also be made from non-organic materials such as rocks, stones, geotextile fabrics, and crushed rubber. Properly applied mulch helps the soil maintain sufficient levels of moisture. This not only improves the condition of the soil, it does much more!
Practical benefits of tree mulching
✓ Promotes overall tree health.
✓ Inhibits weed growth.
✓ Insulates the soil.
✓ Protects tree roots from extreme temperatures.
✓ Prevents certain plant diseases.
✓ Improved soil aeration and drainage.
✓ Gives a neat look to the landscaping.
✓ Decomposing mulch improves soil fertility.
Best time to mulch trees
Trees should be mulched at the beginning of spring, after the ground thaws from a frozen state. You should also mulch your trees at the beginning of winter, before the ground freezes. Mulching is an important part of the tree care process, so keep your program up to date. There are a variety of mulches to choose from, including colors, textures, and shapes. Don’t forget to mulch your shrubs, too!
Winter tree protection
In addition to pruning and mulching, there are several other plans you can take to ensure winter survival and optimal spring growth. These tasks include cabling and strengthening, tree bark repairs, integrated pest management, routine inspections, and removal of dead or hazardous trees.

Bike Lover2024-09-27Residing in Buffalo NY, and needed to remove a large tree in the backyard and front yard. The crew did a fantastic job with removing it along with the stump. We are so impressed. Thank you RDK!

jackary Rootis2024-09-24I highly recommend them. Great crew, Super easy to work with. They’re doing a great job out here in East Amherst. Not only did I use them, but my neighbor and their son did as well and we couldn’t be happier.
DIANE Abram: Toot-Toot Daycare2024-09-21I hope these pictures speak for itself. I had called couple of companies to my property in Northampton, Buffalo, but only RDK Landscaping had come out so quick to give a quote for a project we started and couldn’t finish. They were so quick, efficient and had completed the project in about 2 days. They did a beautiful job, and answered all my questions throughout the entire process. I am so very thrilled about the results and could not recommend more! They are doing wonderful projects.
Dan Duggan2024-09-19RDK Landscaping did an amazing job! We had 8 dead ash trees at our property in Clarence that needed to be taken down given their proximity to the house and garage, in addition to two trees close to the power lines. I was very impressed with how quickly Roy and his team responded, came out to the property and got the job done. I would highly recommend them!
Andres Martinez2024-09-14Everybody at RDK Landscaping was a pleasure to deal with, we had a big project with them to clear up some really overgrown gardens beds around our garage, they went above and beyond making our space useable again. Once the project was complete they made sure to clean everything up and even cleared some weeds we had on our driveway that we hadn’t even mention to them. Can’t recommend them enough and will be calling them first for any future landscaping projects.
Esther Guess2024-09-12The guys were quick and effective at getting all that ivy down. Great work!
