MULCH, LOAM + MORE

Black Mulch
-
High visual impact – Creates strong contrast that makes flowers and foliage really stand out.
-
Clean, uniform look – Gives beds a polished, professional appearance.
-
Weed suppression – Blocks sunlight effectively when applied 2–3 inches deep.
-
Moisture retention – Helps soil stay moist longer, reducing watering needs.
-
Heat absorption – Warms soil faster in spring, which can benefit heat-loving plants.
-
Long-lasting color – Typically holds its color well throughout the season.
-
Defines spaces clearly – Great for borders, walkways, and high-traffic or display areas.

Aged Spruce Mulch
-
Appearance: Warm, natural earth tone that blends seamlessly with most landscapes.
-
Best For: Traditional garden beds, walkways, and natural settings where you want a subtle, neutral look.
-
Benefits: Long-lasting color, enhances soil health as it breaks down, and provides a clean, neat finish.
-
Considerations: Works well in nearly any yard style—an easy “go-to” choice.
-
Moderate soil acidity – Slightly acidic, which can benefit many perennials and shrubs without being too strong.

Hemlock Mulch
-
Natural pest deterrent – Hemlock has a strong scent that can help discourage some insects.
-
Excellent moisture retention – Helps soil stay evenly moist, reducing watering needs.
-
Weed suppression – Forms a dense layer that blocks sunlight and limits weed growth.
-
Temperature regulation – Insulates soil, keeping roots cooler in summer and protected in colder weather.
-
Slow decomposition – Breaks down more slowly than many hardwood mulches, so it lasts longer and needs less frequent replenishing.
-
​Good for acid-loving plants – Slightly acidic, which benefits plants like blueberries, rhododendrons, azaleas, and hydrangeas.

Red Mulch *while supplies last*
-
Strong visual contrast – Red mulch makes green foliage, flowering plants, and shrubs really pop, creating a clean, eye-catching look.
-
Color longevity – Dyed red mulch tends to hold its color longer than natural brown mulch, staying vibrant through the season.
-
Weed suppression – Like other mulches, it helps block sunlight and reduce weed growth when applied at proper depth.
