Consider the Size of the Material

• Mulch comes in different sizes. Some are meant for small areas while others are meant for larger areas. The size of the mulch will affect the size of the area where it’s applied. If you are applying mulch to a large area, then make sure to use a large mulch. Also, if you want to increase the organic matter level in the soil, then using a larger mulch will help you achieve that.
  
  

Consider the Type of Mulch

• It is important to consider the type of mulch you want to use on your lawn. There are different types of mulch and each type of mulch has different properties. Some are good at retaining moisture while some prevent weed growth. Some mulches will also help to reduce soil erosion while other mulches can help to improve the health of your lawn. You should also consider the landscape when choosing the right mulch. If you are applying mulch to a lawn where there are trees, then make sure to use a mulch that doesn’t have a high amount of nutrients. This is because some mulch can cause damage to the bark of the trees. If you want to avoid that, you can use a mulch that has a low amount of nutrients.
