Mulch Organics
We deliver every gradeMulch Organics Sand Blend
A sand blend is sand mixed with compost or other organic matter, usually 70 to 80 percent sand by volume. The sand gives you drainage and a stable base. The organic side feeds the soil and holds a little water so roots don't dry out. You'll see it spread as a thin layer over lawns or used as the growing mix under a new bed.
The exact recipe changes by supplier and job. Golf greens use tighter USGA specs, around 80/20 sand to peat, screened to a set grain size. Landscape topdressing blends run looser, often 60/40 sand to compost, and cost less because the sand doesn't need lab testing. Price sits between a yard of plain sand and a yard of straight compost, and the more organic you add, the more you'll pay per yard.

What people use it for
How to choose within mulch organics sand blend
How much depth
2 to 3 inches is the sweet spot. Deeper starves the roots; thinner lets weeds through.
Color hold
Dyed mulches keep their color for a season, sometimes two. Natural mulch fades to grey within a few months.
Fine vs. coarse
Fine mulch breaks down into soil faster. Coarse mulch lasts longer and stays put on a slope.
