Mulching Services to Strengthen Tree Health and Soil Integrity

Enhance Soil Structure and Protect Root Zones with Professional Care

What Is Mulching and How It Works

Mulching is the strategic application of organic or inorganic materials around the base of trees and landscaped areas to conserve moisture, moderate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth. At All Year Round Tree Service, our mulching services are designed to support the longevity and vitality of your trees by replicating the protective layer naturally found in forest floors. This helps your landscape thrive in Fairfield, IL's diverse climate.


The process begins with a site inspection to determine the proper mulch type—typically hardwood, bark, composted leaves, or pine straw—based on your specific tree species and soil condition. Our team removes existing weeds and debris, ensuring the root zone is clean and clear. We then apply an even layer of mulch, maintaining a 2-4 inch thickness and creating a mulch ring while leaving space around the tree trunk to prevent rot or pest infestation.


This method acts as a buffer, protecting root systems from temperature extremes and helping retain soil moisture. Over time, organic mulch breaks down and enriches the soil, feeding your tree’s roots naturally. Unlike decorative mulch applications, our approach is about long-term tree health, not aesthetics. It’s an investment in the life of your landscape—preserving soil nutrients, reducing compaction, and promoting sustainable growth for years to come.
