Getting a spring cleanup and other professional lawn care services is crucial to protecting your landscaping and outdoor space.

Main Types of Mulch

Color Enhanced Black Mulch

Color Enhanced Black Mulch

Color enhanced black mulch is a popular choice for those looking to add a dramatic contrast to their landscape.

This mulch is created by adding a black dye to natural wood chips or shredded bark. The dye used in the process is typically made from a carbon-based substance, making it safe for plants and the environment.

The dark color of black mulch not only looks visually appealing but also helps to retain moisture in the soil by reducing evaporation, making it a practical choice for gardeners.

Color Enhanced Brown Mulch

This mulch is typically created by adding a brown dye to natural wood chips or shredded bark. The brown color adds a warm and natural feel to the landscape, making it a popular choice for gardeners who want a more subdued look.

Brown mulch also provides the same benefits as black mulch, such as helping to retain moisture in the soil, while still providing a more neutral appearance.

Natural Mulch
