Mulch

Mulch boosts plant health and curb appeal by suppressing weeds, conserving moisture, moderating soil temperature, and preventing erosion. This category connects you with mulch materials and the tools that help you plan, move, spread, and maintain them with less effort and better results.

Pick the right mulch for the job:
- Organic options (shredded bark, wood chips, pine straw, compost) feed soil over time and suit garden beds and tree rings.
- Inorganic options (rubber mulch, gravel, decorative stone) offer long‑lasting coverage for paths and play areas.

Make installation efficient with purpose‑built tools:
- Mulch calculators size orders accurately. Measure length × width, choose a 2–3 in depth, then convert to cubic yards: L × W × D (ft) ÷ 27. One cubic yard equals about 13–14 bags at 2 cu ft each.
- Mulch forks and landscape rakes spread material quickly and feather clean edges.
- Wheelbarrows and garden carts move bulk loads safely on uneven ground.
- Bed edgers and spades cut crisp lines that keep mulch contained.
- Mulch blowers speed large installs for crews and big properties.
- Landscape fabric, pins, and edging help with weed control and boundary retention where appropriate.
- Moisture meters and drip kits under mulch reduce water waste and improve consistency.

Simple steps for success:
- Clear weeds, shape the bed, and water the soil lightly.
- Lay drip line if used, then spread mulch evenly to 2–3 in depth.
- Keep mulch 3 in away from trunks and stems to prevent rot.
- Top up annually as material breaks down or washes away.
