Mulch Street Trees in Dorchester – Please note NEW DATE & TIME

Why should we mulch trees? Mulch is typically chopped up pieces of trees, plants, and other organic materials.  When applied to trees it provides nutrients to the soil as it breaks down.  Mulch also helps insulate soil in the summer to reduce water evaporation. In addition, mulch reduces soil compaction and erosion, helping ensure healthy tree roots and tree growth.
