Premium Shredded Hardwood Mulch
Premium Shredded Hardwood Mulch

Premium Hardwood Bark Mulch is premium grade bark mulch, double processed and screened for size.  This plant friendly, bark material is produced mostly from red and white oak and has minimal wood fiber.  It also enhances any landscape with its rich, dark color contrasting with the foliage and blooms of trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals.

When spread correctly, reduces water loss, prevents erosion and minimizes weed growth. Premium Hardwood Mulch evens out soil temperature which helps prevent damage from the freeze-thaw cycle and mitigates winter heaving. This is a light-weight, easy-to-handle mulch for all season benefits.
