If termites are in the mulch, they're in your house.
I've had mulch for many years and have never had a problem with termites.
How many people do you know who have termites because they have mulch???
Yeah. That's what I thought.
Mulch is a far better landscaping choice for many reasons, as opposed to putting down stones.  |
Thank you for your advice, I appreciate it. It sounds like there are some good reasons for using mulch as opposed to rocks in plantings.
We will take this into consideration and discuss it with the landscaper we choose.
The "faux rocks" I am discussing here are to hide the utility access boxes and are not actual rocks but large hollow fiberglass boxes that look like boulders.
We have not finalized our decision whether to use rock or other mulch. However, for our own reasons we are definitely getting rid of the pine straw.
