As temperatures swing and soils dry out, adding compost or mulch before winter helps insulate roots, retain moisture, and protect your soil from freeze–thaw damage. Our organic topdressing service does all of that—and looks great doing it. Book now at 208-578-2246.
Why topdressing before winter matters
Organic mulches act like a thermal blanket—buffering soil temperatures, reducing root stress, and protecting shallow root systems from freeze–thaw cycles. Extension guidance consistently recommends 2–4 inches of loose, breathable mulch to stabilize soil and guard roots through winter. Wayne County Center+1
Compost used as a mulch or soil amendment also boosts soil structure, water-holding capacity, and nutrient availability—key for vigorous spring growth. CU Blog Service
NRCS research highlights mulch’s role in moisture retention, weed suppression, and long-term soil-health gains by increasing organic matter—exactly what your beds need heading into cold weather. Natural Resources Conservation Service
