Mulch (Hardwood)
Applications & Uses
Hardwood Mulch
Hardwood mulch is a natural ground cover made from shredded or chipped hardwood trees. This material is prized for its durability and ability to break down slowly, providing long-lasting coverage and enriching the soil as it decomposes. The hardwood attribute means the mulch is denser and more resistant to compaction and decay compared to softwood alternatives, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial landscaping.
Hardwood mulch is commonly used in garden beds, around trees and shrubs, and along walkways to suppress weeds, retain soil moisture, and regulate soil temperature. Its heavier weight helps it stay in place during heavy rain or wind, reducing maintenance. While it may take longer to decompose than softer mulches, this also means less frequent replenishment is needed. Hardwood mulch is an excellent option for those seeking a natural, attractive, and low-maintenance solution for landscape protection and enhancement.
