This breaks up the hard, hydrophobic crust often formed by old, decaying mulch, immediately restoring water infiltration and oxygen flow to the root zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDebris Hauling and Eco-Friendly Disposal:\u003c\/b\u003e All extracted material is cleanly raked, bagged or carted away, and hauled off-site to a green-waste recycling facility, leaving your driveways, turf, and hardscapes completely spotless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote on Landscape Health:\u003c\/b\u003e Over-mulching is one of the leading causes of premature tree and shrub mortality.
