If you’re switching your lawn to a drought tolerant landscape, mulch plays a vital role in creating and maintaining it. Mulch improves soil health, retains moisture, regulates soil temperature, suppresses weeds, and controls erosion.
City partner LA City Sanitation creates high-quality mulch from green waste collected from homes across the city and makes it available at no cost to all City of LA residents.
