Cedar Mulch is a beautiful accent to any landscape. It has a unique color and smell that is both uplifting and attractive. This type of mulch is created with the excess wood that is left over from producing other cedar products. Cedar mulch helps to retain moisture in the soil, repels insects, and it is slow to decay so that you will not have to constantly worry with replacing it with new mulch.

As with all mulches, cedar mulch prevents weeds from showing their face in your landscape or garden. Weeds need exposure to sunlight in order to grow, which is prevented when your soil is covered with any mulch. The water retaining qualities of cedar mulch make it easy to maintain the plants in your yard with out having to remember to water them every single day. This eliminates the risk of drowning your plants by over-watering.

Insects are always a problem with being outdoors. They hide in dark places and can be harmful to anyone, especially small children who like to dig. Bugs are repelled by cedar mulch, which can leave you assured that most of your yard is free of harmful insects. When the mulch begins to break down, it adds various nutrients to your soil and the plants that are growing from it. Its' light color also keeps the soil and your plants from getting too warm in the hot summer sun.

If you are faced with the decision of which mulch is best for your landscape, consider what qualities each type has to offer. Cedar mulch is beautiful and also very helpful when it comes to repelling insects and growing healthy plants. Its natural qualities make it strong enough to resist decomposing too quickly so that you will not have to keep replacing it the way you would need to with some other wood mulches.
