Shredded Black Mulch
Rich black-dyed shredded hardwood mulch that adds a bold, modern contrast to landscape beds. Retains moisture, suppresses weeds, and keeps its color throughout the season.
Hardwood shreds dyed deep black so flower beds pop against green foliage, holding that color through the season instead of graying out like untreated mulch.
Also called: black dyed mulch, dyed hardwood mulch, black hardwood mulch, colored black mulch, black bark mulch.

Hello Gravel Guarantee
Right material. Safe delivery. Real help if we miss.
How it works
- We fix what we control. Wrong material, confirmed fulfillment errors, or orders we cannot complete are reviewed for replacement, refund, or another fair resolution.
- Safe delivery comes first. The driver chooses the final safe dump location on site. If your requested spot is not safely reachable, we deliver to the closest safe location available.
- Plans change. You can cancel free up to one full business day before delivery. Next-business-day orders cannot be cancelled once confirmed.
- Natural material varies. Color, texture, moisture, dust, and sizing can vary by quarry, supplier, season, and region.

Hello Gravel cared more about the structural integrity of my house than they did about making the sale. I was trying to place an order to buy dirt to place between a retaining wall and footings at the base of columns that hold up my house. They could have just sold me anything for profit, but they told me to go get the advice of a structural engineer, knowing that the structural engineer would probably order the dirt himself and possibly from another company. That’s integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Use our built-in calculator on this page — enter the length, width, and depth of your project area, and we'll calculate the exact amount. As a general rule, 1 ton of material covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep.
We deliver directly to your driveway or project site using a dump truck. Just choose your delivery date and time window (AM or PM) during checkout. Next-day delivery is available on orders placed before noon.
Yes! Delivery is included in the price you see — no hidden fees, no surprises. The price per ton (or yard) you see is the price you pay, delivered.
The minimum order is typically 1 ton (or 1 cubic yard for mulch and soil products). Our pricing gets better with larger quantities — a full truckload (18 tons) gives you the best per-unit price.
Due to the nature of bulk materials, we cannot accept returns once delivered. We recommend using our calculator to get the right amount — it's better to order slightly more than to run short mid-project.
We recommend a 3-inch layer for optimal weed suppression and moisture retention. Applying more than 4 inches can actually harm plants by preventing water and air from reaching the roots.
Our dyed mulch holds its color for a full season (8-12 months) thanks to UV-resistant colorants. Natural brown mulch will gradually fade to gray. Refreshing with a thin top layer each spring keeps beds looking sharp.
