Why You Should Use Mulch

Using Paul Bunyan Products Premium Colored Landscape Mulch is a great way to accent your landscape designs with brilliant colors. Using mulch also helps your plants grow better. Mulch acts as a weed barrier by preventing weeds from breaking through the soil. Mulch also prevents soil compaction, helps maintain a balanced soil temperature, and helps the soil to retain moisture.

Color Makes a Difference

No matter what color you choose, it's a "brilliant" way to enhance your plants and shrubs.

Tips on Using Mulch

To prevent fungus growth, we recommend proper application of Paul Bunyan Products Premium Colored Landscape Mulch. Any remaining old mulch should be removed before new mulch is applied for the season. As a general rule of thumb, mulch should be applied at a depth of 2-4 inches. Lightly raking the surface of your mulch at mid-season will revive the color intensity and circulate additional air to the plant roots, promoting growth.

Calculating the Amount of Mulch You Need

Although lawns and garden beds are measured in feet, mulch is purchased in "yards". A "yard" of mulch is actually a cubic yard - one yard wide by one yard high by one yard deep. To calculate the amount of mulch you need for a specific area, the following formula converts feet to cubic yards.
