There are several practical benefits to ground cover such as mulch and rocks.

First, ground cover prevents soil erosion. It protects the soil underneath from the rain and snow or from movement by other sources such as normal lawn use. It also helps soil retain moisture and stay nutrient-rich by covering it from the sun. Second, it insulates soil against temperature changes.

If you're wanting to sell your home or just invest more into your house and property, there are plenty of ways to attempt to increase your home’s value.

Adding custom landscaping such as healthy trees, blooming flowers, and neatly trimmed shrubs, makes your home look prettier and much more inviting, and has the most impactful ROI.

If you opt for custom landscaping, it’s also important to include regular lawn and landscape maintenance to maintain your property’s increase in value. Landscaping adds to your home’s curb appeal, but a poorly-maintained landscape will actually detract from your home’s value.
