Choosing the Best Ground Cover: Grass or Mulch for Post Oaks

 

 

Ground Cover: In this informative video, ISA Certified Arborist Wes Rivers delves into expert advice on seamlessly integrating a post oak tree into a newly developed landscape. The discussion revolves around optimizing the tree’s growth and vitality amidst construction. Wes highlights the significance of creating a dedicated space around the post oak. He emphasizes the avoidance of grass growth near the tree’s base. The essence lies in nurturing the tree’s root system with organic matter, crucial for its nourishment and moisture retention. The suggested solution involves utilizing shredded hardwood mulch or similar organic materials as a ground cover. This choice not only enriches the soil but also minimizes competition for water and nutrients. This contrasts with the demands of traditional grass. By prioritizing this method, the video underscores the dual benefits of sustainable resource conservation and fostering a thriving post oak within the evolving landscape.
