Mulch helps to keep your yard looking great. Besides looking nice, mulch is a multi-purpose yard product that also keeps your property healthy. There are many reasons why mulch is important for your garden. A layer of groundcover will protect plants from harmful elements that may affect their growth. During summer seasons, mulch holds moisture in the soil, so plants retain enough water. During winter, it acts like a blanket—protecting the roots from frost that can kill or severely affect plant growth. Mulching also helps keep weeds and unwanted grasses away. KX Lawn is your Lawrence IN mulch expert.
A layer of coverage can prevent the germination of many weeds. Sunlight is blocked, which helps discourage weed growth without the need for herbicides.
Water from rains and sprinkler systems trickle down through the layers and reach the root systems of plants. Sunlight is blocked, which prevents evaporation, and allows for better water retention.
Mulch and rocks are a great tool to utilize in certain areas of recurring erosion problems.
Groundcover serves as an insulating blanket, keeping your plants cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Extreme heat and cold can damage plants and cause nutrients to break down faster.
Organic materials break down over time, adding valuable material to your soils.
Quite simply, mulch just looks great. Mulch is often the finishing touch that brings uniformity to a great landscape design.
Are you planning on planting trees this spring? We highly recommend you add groundcover around your tree saplings. Mulching will protect the tree from weeds, fluctuating temperatures, and soil erosion.
Groundcover around young trees will also protect them from lawnmower damage. By removing grass immediately around the tree and replacing with mulch, there’s no risk of hitting trees with the mower.
You could head to your local garden store and buy a couple bags on your own. Are you truly sure you selected the correct variety for your landscaping? Do you select mulch based on color or composition?

KX Lawn has been working tirelessly to set down strong roots in the landscaping industry. In the company’s first years, lawn mowing was our only business. Since then, in response to client demand, I have expanded my services to include other aspects of exterior grounds maintenance.
As a company, we are constantly evolving to fit our customer’s needs and the demands in the industry. KX Lawn invites you to discover what many families, businesses, and associations have already discovered: We deliver excellent service with quality products at competitive prices.
Proper Install: For optimal performance, groundcover should be installed at a depth of 3-4 inches and rocks should be at a depth of 2-3 inches. It’s important that these items are installed properly to ensure performance and protection. We are careful that materials are not laid too close to the structure siding or due any damage to the house.




With KX Lawn installations, we offer a variety of groundcovers and rock options for our clients. We use the highest quality materials so your planting beds maintain that vibrant look for an extended amount of time. Even when using the highest quality groundcover, mulch should be replaced yearly due to decomposition and rocks (pea gravel, blue stone gravel, red gravel, slate, river rock) should be replaced every 2-3 years depending on condition.
