Mulch - Hog Fuel, Coarse

Hog fuel mulch in a coarse grade is a robust, wood-based ground cover produced from shredded bark, wood chips, and other organic forest byproducts. This material is typically created through mechanical grinding, resulting in a rough, fibrous texture with larger, irregular pieces compared to standard mulches.

The coarse nature of hog fuel mulch makes it especially effective for erosion control, mud management, and as a base layer for trails, pathways, and construction site access roads. Its larger particle size allows for excellent drainage and helps suppress weed growth, while also providing a durable, long-lasting surface that resists compaction. Commonly used in both residential and commercial landscaping, playgrounds, and equestrian arenas, this mulch is valued for its affordability and ability to withstand heavy foot and equipment traffic. However, its rough texture may not be ideal for decorative garden beds or areas where a finer, more uniform appearance is desired.
