What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this mulch for its fine, triple-shredded texture, natural black appearance, and soil-enriching properties. Many highlight how it spreads easily, enhances flower colors, retains moisture, and breaks down into nutrient-rich soil over time. However, a growing number report recent quality decline, receiving bags filled with large wood chunks, rocks, and dirt instead of fine mulch. Despite these inconsistencies, most customers remain loyal, valuing its premium feel and long-term garden benefits.

Purchased from Lowe’s and product was different.

Would Not Recommend

I purchased 25 bags of this mulch and was thoroughly disappointed. I buy it every year and love it, except this year it was not brown/black it was cedar colored. It also had chunks of wood in it which has never happened before. I will definitely put a small hole in the bag to see what it looks like before purchasing again.

Good quality mulch

Finely shredded, good natural color hardwood mulch. Best quality bagged mulch I've found.

Inconsistent color

Would Not Recommend

I wanted black mulch. 7/15 bags were light brown, all with the same exact bag and labels. Inconsistent coloring and false advertising. Now my garden is calico.
