Here are some of the benefit sprovided by mulching:

 

1.) Retains soil moisture      2.) More visually appealing     3.) Encourages & rewards soil microbes and invertebrates

4.) Reduces weed & turf growth    5.) Prevents mower & string trimmer blight      6.) prevents soil temperature extremes

7.) Increases soil fertility     8.) Improves soil structure 

 

Life in the ArboretumMulch all the way to the drip line if you really want to   minimize the influence of turf (allelopathic & competition for nutrients/water/space). Depth around 3 inches 

When mulch kills! Be CAREFUL!!!         

AVOID  volcano mulch...  applying over 3 inches ...  contact with the trunk ... 'sour' mulch
