Conserving water is a priority for Texas homeowners. That means keeping your sprinkler system in the best condition is also a priority to prevent problems that can lead to leaks and wasted water. Thanks to our years of experience in irrigation, we know how low temperatures affect systems and provide professional services to protect them from damage.
The Advantages of Mulch and Pine Straw
Texas lawns can sometimes lose a lot of moisture due to heat and water evaporation. During this evaporating process, the plants miss out on absorbing the nutrients in the soil, making them less healthy.
Thankfully, pine straw or mulch installation can mitigate this nutrient and water loss by refreshing the soil. These materials also encourage plant growth, fend off pests, and provide the perfect canvas for flower beds, shrubs, and trees. Consider adding them to your yard for other reasons as well, such as:
Minimizing soil erosion
Making weeds easier to spot and remove
Assisting soil fertility over time
Reducing soil compaction from rainy seasons
Preventing fungal spores and disease organisms
Providing a buffer between weed seeds and the soil
Lowering the chances of lawn maintenance tools damaging your plants
Because these natural resources break down, you won’t need to change or replace them for a while. Instead, we can add a fresh, seasonal layer once the mulch or pine straw has run its course.

Why You Could Use Rocks for Your Landscape Beds
Some property owners like the smooth, natural appearance that pine and mulch give their landscape. However, you can also choose rocks for your landscape beds while receiving similar benefits. When considering a mulch, rock, and pine straw installation, don’t forget what this hard material can do for you.
Just like their biodegradable counterparts, decorative rock installations can protect plants from the Texas heat, keeping the soil moist. They can also protect your flower beds from weed development and soil erosion or compaction. Unlike mulch and pine, the rocks do not provide additional nutrients to the yard, though the rocks help maintain nutrients.
Instead, you don’t have to switch out rock installations nearly as much as other natural resources. While you should change mulch and pine once to twice a year, you can leave rocks alone for several years. They also have more durability, able to withstand extreme cold and heat while protecting your yard.
Pearce Scapes Tips
Pearce Scapes Tips
Make sure you water your trees and shrubs deeply and infrequently rather than shallowly and frequently. This encourages deep root growth, which helps plants become more drought-resistant and better able to absorb nutrients from the soil. Avoid fertilizing your trees and shrubs during periods of drought or extreme heat, as this can cause root burn and damage to the plant.

FAQs About Natural Ground Coverings
No, mulch should not smell bad when you have a professional install it. It may smell strong, but it should be earthy, like soil after rain or pleasant woodcuts. Mulch that has decomposed from a lack of oxygen due to poor storage smells like vinegar, ammonia, or fermenting silage.
Some of the most popular rocks to use in a landscape bed include Texas black rock or river rocks. Larger rock options include lava rock or decomposed granite. You should also consider rocks or sediment that comes in smaller pieces, like the following:
- Brick chips
- Pea gravel
- Marble chips
- Granite chips
- Crushed granite gravel
A professional rock installation done by hand will accommodate the plants in your flower and landscape beds much better than a DIY attempt. Our technicians know how to control the thickness of your ground covering to keep from choking the plants. We also help with your landscape maintenance, ensuring the ground is in the right condition for the installation.
