Frequently Asked Questions About Blown Mulch

Mulching is a great investment for maintaining the health of your property’s vegetation. Mulch can reduce weed growth, maintain even soil temperatures, and prevent water loss. If you haven’t installed mulch on your property yet because it seems like a hassle, blown mulch is a great option for you. Here are some frequently asked questions about the blown mulching process and why it’s a great solution for your property management needs.

What is Mulch Blowing?

Mulch blowing is the process of spreading mulch using a diesel-powered blower machine that churns out the mulch through a hose. No wheelbarrows or pitchforks are used, and the hose is several hundred feet long.

Why is Mulch Blowing Better?

Even though machinery is used, mulch blowing is actually more cost effective than spreading by hand because it only requires a few people to do the job. The blower machine also breaks up material clumps as it uses rotating paddles to feed the mulch through the hose, which decreases material costs and prevents waste. Mulch blowers also spread mulch faster than someone doing it by hand with a wheel barrow and shovel, so labor costs are lower.

Will Mulch Blowing Harm Plants?

Blowing mulch does not mean your plants have a greater chance of being harmed. The machine’s speed and volume can be adjusted so workers can maneuver mulch carefully around fragile plants like flowers. People installing mulch by hand around plants would take a longer time. The blower machine itself will not damage your property because the machine can operate at a distance on the street while workers simply extend the hose to reach all your properties’ hard-to-reach areas.

Mulch can greatly benefit your property’s plants and general aesthetics. With the option of mulch blowing, installation can be cost-effective, efficient and fast. Call Mulch Blowers of Florida at (941)214-9613 for affordable and reliable mulch blowing services.
