MULCH, LOAM + MORE

IMG_6056.jpeg

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.

Compost

  • Helps soil hold moisture during dry periods

  • Adds slow-release nutrients for healthy plant growth

  • Encourages beneficial microbes in the soil

  • Supports stronger root development

  • Reduces the need for chemical fertilizers

  • Builds healthier soil year after year
