When it comes to low-maintenance landscaping, few practices offer as many benefits as mulching. Garden mulches are your first line of defense against invasive weeds, helping you maintain cleaner, healthier planting beds with far less effort.
We sometimes take it for granted, but mulch is one of the most valuable tools in your landscaping arsenal. It works by blocking sunlight from reaching weed seeds, suppressing their growth before they become a problem. At the same time, mulch helps retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and improve soil quality as it breaks down.
The key to effective mulching lies in knowing when and how to use it. Spring and early summer are ideal times to apply mulch, especially after a thorough weeding and before the hot weather sets in. A 2-3 inch layer around plants and trees – not directly against the stems – can make a major difference.
At Calgary Landscape Supplies, we offer a variety of mulches to suit your garden’s needs, from bark to decorative wood chips. Let us help you choose the right one for your space.

Last year’s drought in Calgary was a stark reminder of how vital smart landscaping choices are for protecting both our properties and the environment. With less rainfall and rising temperatures, creating durable, sustainable outdoor spaces has never been more important.
