Why Mulch?
Mulching is a benefit for you and your plants. Mulch is a layer of protection that is applied around the base of your trees and plants. One of the most common materials used for mulching is shredded hardwood, which is available in many varieties.
The benefits of mulching are:
- Adding mulch helps to prevent soil erosion.
- Mulching helps to control weeds.
- It helps to regulate soil temperatures.
- Adds beautiful color to your landscaping and gives a nice defined appearance.
- It retains moisture and helps the plants and trees develop strong and healthy root systems.
All of our mulches are treated hardwood. Single shreds are taken through the mulch shredder only once. Double shreds are taken through the mulch shredder twice.
Natural in Color: Single Shred, Double Dark Shred, and Playground
Dyed in Color: Red, Black, and Chocolate
