Mulch (Course)
Applications & Uses
Coarse Mulch
Coarse mulch is a landscaping material composed of larger, irregularly sized organic pieces such as bark, wood chips, or shredded branches. Unlike fine mulch, its chunkier texture allows for greater airflow and slower decomposition, making it a durable choice for long-term ground cover.
The coarse attribute is especially beneficial for moisture retention and weed suppression, as the larger pieces create a physical barrier while still allowing water to penetrate the soil. This type of mulch is commonly used in residential and commercial landscaping, around trees, shrubs, and garden beds, as well as in pathways and playgrounds where a more rugged, natural look is desired. While coarse mulch is less likely to compact and break down quickly, it may not provide as smooth a finish as finer mulches, but it excels in erosion control and low-maintenance applications.
