Leaf, Organic Mulch

Leaf, organic mulch is a natural ground cover made from decomposed or shredded leaves and other organic plant material. This eco-friendly mulch is produced by collecting fallen leaves, which are then processed to create a nutrient-rich, fibrous material ideal for landscaping and gardening.

The organic composition of this mulch enriches soil as it breaks down, improving soil structure, moisture retention, and fertility. Its lightweight, leaf-based texture makes it easy to spread and work with, while also providing excellent weed suppression and temperature regulation for plant roots. Commonly used in residential gardens, flower beds, and around trees and shrubs, leaf, organic mulch is also suitable for commercial landscaping projects seeking sustainable solutions. While it decomposes faster than wood-based mulches-requiring more frequent replenishment-its soil-enhancing benefits and natural appearance make it a popular choice for both DIY gardeners and professional landscapers.
