My old landscaper told me that adding mulch around my bushes would
kill the bushes. Is this correct? After five years I need to add more
soil to the area where my bushes are (near my patio) as the rain has
washed a good amount of it away. Should I just add soil and forget
about the mulch?


Thank you,

Dunno, can't see the history and cause of the soil erosion from here.

"Mulch" has 3 definitions.

I would, without looking at it, and assuming the erosion cause has been
corrected: add the appropriate amount of topsoil and dress with some highly
biodegradable mulch.
