When it comes to lining flowerbeds or outlining trees many people debate between mulch or decorative rock. They both make a yard look more organized as well as making it easier to mow. The question is which one to choose? We are going to discuss the benefits and drawbacks to each one. First we will take a look at using Mulch Connecticut. There are different types of mulch as well as different colors. There are plastic mulches and natural mulches, some are biodegradable. In the past people have chosen not to go with mulch because they couldn’t get the style that they wanted in their yard that is no longer a concern with all of the different colors. You can get mulch in everything from a natural tone to red or even black.
One clear bonus that mulch has over decorative rocks is that you do not have to worry about throwing a rock while mowing the lawn. Sometimes mulch and rocks do not always stay where they are put, this can be due to rain, pets, or kids carrying it off. If it ends up out in your yard, you do not have to worry about hurting yourself or your mower by hitting it. Hitting a rock in the yard can throw it into something or someone, it could even break a window. So why would anyone choose rock over mulch?
Well some people really prefer the look of decorative rock over mulch. If taken care of they do not have to replace it year after year. However, this makes it much more difficult to put in a flower bed. The second year you would be digging around the rock to plant. This obviously would not be an issue if you only used it around trees or to line an area for a bench. Whether you choose to use Mulch Connecticut or decorative rock in your yard, is definitely a personal preference. The costs are very similar as well as how they are purchased. You can purchase both in small bags or by the yard from a garden company. They can both make your yard look great.
