What's the deal with Mulch?

Every year when spring rolls around many homeowners enjoy working in their yards planting flowers, completing landscape projects they planned during the winter, and overall making their yards look beautiful. When searching for the final touches to place around your yard do not forget about your option to mulch. When choosing mulch over other products you are able to create an attractive ground cover that also helps your soil retain moisture for your freshly planted flowers, and help deter weeds!

At the forest we believe in giving customers a variety of products to choose from and have multiple mulches in stock. The options to choose from are hardwood, red flower, walnut brown, dark velvet, pine play safe chips, cypress play safe chips, and shredded cypress. If you are looking for a more traditional look I would recommend the basic non-died hardwood mulch or the shredded cypress. If you are still on the traditional side but enjoy livening things up in your yard I would suggest any of our died mulches which will help add color around your lawn and garden. If you are wanting to place mulch around a playground or a high traffic area for children I would recommend our pine or cypress play safe chips. These two mulches have gone through a special process in order to become play safe certified, and will not cause splinters on a child's skin when they land on it at the playground! Which is awesome because I remember how much splinters hurt when I was younger and the pain I had to endure while my mother picked them out with her tweezers! OUCH!
