Cinder, Unprocessed Mulch

Cinder, unprocessed mulch is a unique landscaping material composed of natural volcanic cinder that has not undergone additional processing or refinement. This mulch retains its raw, porous texture and irregular shape, offering a distinctive look and functional benefits for various outdoor projects.

The unprocessed nature of this cinder mulch means it contains a mix of particle sizes and shapes, which enhances its ability to retain moisture and promote aeration in garden beds. Its lightweight, porous structure makes it ideal for mulching around plants, helping to suppress weeds, regulate soil temperature, and reduce water evaporation. Commonly used in both residential and commercial landscaping, cinder mulch is especially valued for xeriscaping, pathways, and as a decorative ground cover. While its irregularity may make it less suitable for high-traffic areas compared to processed mulches, it excels in naturalistic settings and low-maintenance gardens.
