Why Houston Homeowners Love These Simple Upgrades
Homeowners in areas like Spring Branch, Bellaire, and The Heights know that Houston’s climate is unpredictable.
That’s why proactive care is essential—not optional.
Mulch that isn’t breathable can trap moisture, encourage mold, and eventually hurt your plants.
And neglected flower beds can make even the best home feel incomplete.
“You want mulch to be very light and very breathable for the dirt underneath it.”
This is where Crenshaw’s experience shows.
They don’t just apply mulch—they know how and when to apply it for maximum impact.
