Proper mulching is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect North Atlanta trees through Georgia's hot, dry summers.
The key: 2–4 inches of organic mulch spread out toward the drip line, pulled back a few inches from the trunk so the root flare stays exposed. Mulch piled against the trunk (the "mulch volcano") traps moisture against the bark and can cause rot and long-term decline.
