Mulch with Fines

Mulch with fines is a landscaping material composed of organic matter, such as shredded bark or wood chips, that includes a significant proportion of fine particles. The presence of fines-small, dust-like fragments-gives this mulch a denser, more compact texture compared to coarser mulches.

The inclusion of fines helps the mulch knit together, reducing movement and providing better weed suppression. This makes it ideal for garden beds, pathways, and areas where a tidy, uniform appearance is desired. The fines also help retain moisture and gradually enrich the soil as they decompose, benefiting plant health. However, mulch with fines may compact more over time and can sometimes impede water infiltration if applied too thickly. It is a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping projects seeking a neat, low-maintenance ground cover.
