Different Types of Mulch
When it comes to the beauty of your landscape, plants take center stage. But just like a good paint color on the walls of your home, mulch can make your plants stand out, or “pop”, or it can be the star of the show by itself. Today I am going to focus on two kinds of mulch: shredded wood and rock.
Shredded wood mulch is probably the most popular mulch you will see around your neighborhood due to versatility and cost. It comes in many colors including natural, light brown, dark brown, black, and red. In my opinion, a dark brown mulch behind the greenery of plants looks clean and sharp to the eye. Shredded wood mulch has the added benefit of decomposing into compost to provide nutrients for your plants.
Rock mulch is another popular option and is a good choice for homeowner’s looking for the varied colors and kinds out there. River rock is the most popular partly due to its versatility of matching different colors and styles of houses. Rock mulch also is a great option for those who don’t want to refresh their mulch like you have to with wood mulch.
Next time you work in your landscape, consider these two options to meet your needs and expectations of your landscape.
