Mulch is a quick, convenient and economical way to boost the looks of your yard while protecting and improving its soil at the same time, and at Ace we stock bags of mulch in a wide range of sizes, materials and colors to suit any type of garden design.
Why Use Garden Mulch?
Mulch is a layer of material applied to the soil's surface to suppress weed growth, reduce wind erosion, improve water retention, and enhance a yard's appearance. It's commonly added over flowerbeds and borders to cover up bare earth but can also be used to mark out pathways in yards designed with a natural feel.
The Two Main Types of Mulch
Garden mulch is available in two main types, organic mulch made from wood or plant products, and inorganic mulch, which is usually made from rubber. Both have their advantages in different situations and here's how to choose between them.
Wood Mulch
Wooden yard mulches are made from a variety of source materials, including pine bark, cedar wood chips and other organic materials like pine needles or straw. Organic mulches provide all the usual mulching benefits such as suppressing weeds and slowing erosion, but they also have another major benefit. Over time, wood mulch naturally decomposes into your garden soil, enriching it with nutrients and improving its texture.
This means wood mulch will need to be replaced from time to time, but the different varieties and colors available let you take a creative approach to your gardening, changing the look from year to year simply by varying your choice of mulch.
Rubber Mulch
Rubber is a reliable and commonly available option if you'd prefer to use an inorganic mulch. It's made up of recycled rubber and is a popular choice for gardens and playgrounds, providing a softer surface underfoot than landscaping rock or paving. It lasts longer than wood chips and doesn't rot, decay or fade over time, making it an economical option for long-term landscaping projects.
Rubber mulch also significantly reduces weed growth while still allowing water to seep through to the soil below, and you're less likely to find garden pests sheltering in rubber mulch, too. It's durable enough to hold up in strong winds and storms, making it a great option for commercial landscaping where long-lasting durability is vital.
Choosing Mulch Colors for Your Yard
Depending on their color and material, mulches can be an unobtrusive ground covering or an active part of your garden design. Colored mulch can provide a stark contrast to plants and adds interest compared to bare soil, with red and brown mulches in particular adding rich natural tones that complement the look of your growing garden.
Choosing the right mulch colors can also match your home's exterior, patio design and more, allowing you even more versatility with how you decorate your space. However, plain black mulch is particularly good at absorbing sunlight and heating the soil, making it great for plants that require warmth without standing out as a design feature in its own right.
Mulched Straw Bags for Seeding Lawns
If you're seeding a new lawn, our mulched straw bags provide an economical way of protecting the young grass as it grows. Simply spread it over the sown seed and it'll defend against birds, heavy rain, and wind, while also keeping moisture in the ground to encourage germination. One bag of mulch can cover up to 500 square feet of lawn, making creating new turfed areas quick and easy.
