No more mulch volcanoes - they are harming trees!

Mulch piled high against tree trunks is called a "mulch volcano." This can lead to issues like bark decay and root rot, promote disease and insects, and can eventually lead to early decline.

Feather 2-4 inches of mulch, such as wood chips or shredded bark, around trees. Do not place mulch against the tree's trunk. Feather it up to, but not covering the root flare. Ideally, the mulch is only shallowly covering the soil at least 6 inches away from the tree trunk.
