Preserve your garden, enhance its aesthetic appeal and reduce weed growth with the wide selection of yard mulch at Ace. Choose from rubber mulch or dyed wood chips to beautify your outdoor space and improve the quality of your soil.

The Benefits of Using Mulch

Mulch is a layer of material applied to the surface of soil to aid in its conservation. Aside from enhancing the visual appeal of a lawn, mulch improves the soil by adding moisture and reducing weed growth. By better retaining water and suppressing weed growth, garden mulch can help promote healthy root growth in thriving, nutrient rich soil.

Mulch comes in a variety of colors for aesthetic appeal and is usually found made of organic or inorganic materials like rubber and wood chips.

Rubber Mulch

Although other inorganic mulches exist, rubber mulch is a reliable and commonly available option. Rubber mulch is made up of recycled rubber and is a popular choice for gardens and playgrounds. It lasts longer than wood chips or gravel and doesn’t rot, decay or fade over time.

Rubber mulch also significantly reduces weed growth while still allowing water to seep through to the soil below. You're less likely to find garden pests harboring in rubber mulch, too. It's durable enough to hold up in strong winds and storms, making it a great option for commercial landscaping.

Wood Mulch

Wooden yard mulch includes pine bark mulch, cedar mulch, wood chips and other organic mulches like pine straw needles. Organic mulch helps to fight against weed growth and erosion, but also helps to insulate soil temperature as it decays. Because it is organic, it will need to be replaced over time, but the different varieties of wood mulch allow you to take a more hands-on approach to your landscaping.

From cedar mulch that encourages healthy plant growth while allowing for natural irrigation to pine straw mulch that takes longer to decay, organic wood mulches offer many of the benefits of rubber mulch while also decomposing into your garden soil, further enriching it before it is replaced.

What to Consider When Purchasing Mulch

At Ace, we carry mulch in a variety of different materials and colors. Consider your landscaping needs and the aesthetic you desire when making your decision:

  • Material: Rubber mulch may be a better option if you have children playing on it. Organic yard mulch can be more aesthetically pleasing but may decay and fade over time.
  • Safety: Rubber offers some cushion underfoot. Wood chips can splinter and harden over time.
  • Weather: Consider whether the mulch will be exposed to moist conditions, dry weather or hot temperatures. 
  • Maintenance: Wood chips may fade and need to be replaced every few years or you can enhance the look of wood mulch with color renewal sprays. 
  • Weed resistance: Look for mulch designed to discourage weed growth, insects and fungus.
  • Soil preservation: Choose mulch that helps keep the proper amount of moisture in the soil.

Choosing Mulch Color for Your Yard

Colored mulch can provide a stark contrast to plants and is favored for its aesthetic. Some gardeners find that black mulch absorbs the sunlight and heats the soil, making it great for plants that require warm soil. Red mulch and brown mulch infuse the landscape with rich natural tones that complement the look of your growing garden.

What’s more, different colored mulch can also complement your home, patio decorations and more, allowing you even more versatility with how you decorate your space.
