All of this mulch will go a long way in helping the park’s trees thrive during the hot summer.\u00a0 Mulch reduces soil compaction, cools the soil and conserves moisture – all of which contributes to healthy tree roots! Healthy tree roots mean beautiful tree canopy, shady parks and happy people!<\/p>\n
