Bark - MEDIUM Mulch

Produced by us.

Often used by landscapers in the know, this mulch is a fir/hemlock blend produced by us. It is dark tan/brown with some lighter tan highlights.

This medium-grind product offers a LONGER LASTING cover than finer mulches due to the larger pieces found in this blend which results in less maintenance. This still contains fine mulched pieces but once rained on, the fines settle in, leaving the larger pieces on top which are less susceptible to being blown off garden beds by stong winds or heavy rains which can be a problem on exposed or steeper sites.

We generally do NOT recommend using weedbarrier under any mulch because it is a natural product that will eventually break down to a peat-like substance, to add organics into your soil. Mulch is best reapplied once the weeds start showing, generally every couple/few years and at a depth up to 4″ for best weed control and moisture retention. Best practice is to spread and pile the mulch up to the dripline of existing plants where the foliage ends. Do not pile mulch up in against the crown of plants as this will generally inhibit their growth.
