Types of Mulch

There are many different types of landscaping mulches that vary in color and texture. A chunky yard mulch typically last longer than smaller-sized and shredded wood mulches. Decorative stone, pebble mulch and rubber mulches are alternatives to traditional wood mulch.

Decorative mulch options include wood chips, pine needles, and bark. Though these mulches do not provide nutrients or enhance the health of the soil, they do a great job of decorating your landscape.

A natural and organic garden mulch is beneficial to gardening because it will decompose quickly, enriching the soil as it breaks down. All types of mulch break down at different rates and should be applied evenly across your flower beds so that the nutrients are distributed evenly, and the overall look remains level as the decomposition occurs.
