ulch has many benefits in landscaping. It reduces soil compaction, suppresses weed growth, conserves moisture in the soil, insulates against extreme temperatures, and by eliminating the need to mow and trim around tree trunks, stops equipment damage to plant bark. It is also a lovely backdrop for shrubs, trees and flowers, providing a beautiful contrast in texture and color. Properly mulched pathways provide a durable surface for foot traffic.

e maintain stockpiles of both double ground mixed hardwood and double ground pine bark mulches. The double ground hardwood mulch like we stock is the best option for sloped areas; the texture is almost stringy and the fibers "knit" together to hold on steep slopes. The pine has more of a reddish color and the color tends to last longer than that of hardwood. Both age to a silver grey. Many of our customers use a mixture of pine and hardwood and we recommend this as giving you the best of both worlds! These are lovely, but really are only appropriate in relatively flat areas. We also carry cypress mulch, playground mulches, dyed mulches, potting soil, compost and colored play sand.
