Useful Tips

• Depth guide: 2–3″ is typical; use 3″+ for weed suppression in problem areas.
• Don’t pile on trunks: Keep mulch a few inches away from trees and stems.
• Edge profile: Measure depth at the middle—edges often slope.
• Color fade: Dyed mulches can fade faster in full sun—plan refreshes.
• Bulk vs. bags: Bulk is economical for large areas; bags are great for spot touch‑ups.
• Weed fabric: Often unnecessary and can impede soil health in planting beds.
