To determine the best mulch for your yard, you need to take into account a few things: your budget, whether you have kids and/or pets, and the rest of your landscaping plan. Luxury Landscape Supply advises that you want the mulch to complement your landscaping not detract from it. We carry five different types of mulch from which you can choose. We are going to talk about the different types of mulch below so you can make an educated determination.
Budget
If you are landscaping on a tight budget, we have mulch blends that are provided in value bags. The mulch contained in these bargain bags is a combination of various woods. Value bags of mulch do not contain dyed mulch, so you will be working with a natural color rather than a dyed color. If you are going for natural landscaping, this affordable mulch is perfect and will save you money.
Cypress
If you are looking for a natural wood mulch, cypress mulch is the mulch for you. This mulch is made out of the wood and bark of two types of cypress trees, the bald cypress tree and the pond cypress tree. Added to the mulch are nutrients that help treat your soil and improve your flora growth. This makes cypress mulch perfect for flowerbeds and shrubs that need constant nutrition.
Dyed
We mentioned that are bargain mulch is not dyed. There are colored mulches that add extra panache to your landscaping because they add extra color to your property. The mulch is colored with a non-toxic dye that is safe for all of your plants in your yard. You can safely lay the mulch down in your flowerbeds and water them without worrying about the dye killing them.
Kid-Safe
We mentioned above that you need to take into account your children and your pets when it comes to selecting a mulch. As you know, little ones and pets like to chew on things that they shouldn’t, and mulch is one of those things. Kid-safe mulch is made to be safe for your children and pets. It is certified by the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association.
Pine
One type of mulch that has been around for a long time is pine mulch. This mulch is well known for its ability to control the underground moisture over which it lays. It also has a pleasant odor because it is made from pine tree bark. This being said, the tree bark is lightweight. Consequently, the pine mulch can blow around during a windy storm.
