Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this product for effectively locking down mulch and gravel, preventing displacement during rain, wind, and foot traffic. Most appreciate its ease of application with a sprayer and premixed formula requiring no dilution, reporting strong, durable bonds especially with two coats. Many note it leaves a desirable shine and simplifies leaf cleanup. However, several mention the high cost and small coverage area requiring multiple gallons for moderate spaces. A few report application challenges due to quick drying times. Despite some concerns about price and occasional bonding failures with gravel, most customers find it delivers reliable stabilization.

Would Not RecommendI am submitting a one-star rating because I was billed for a service that was not rendered. I anticipate that the corresponding charge will be credited to my account which is why I do not have any photographic or video evidence to provide

Shiny Mulch, Not Secure 700 Dollar Lesson Learned
Would Not RecommendEvery autumn my New England property turns into a leaf factory, and with roughly 10 yards of mulch beds to protect, I figured this glue would finally save me from the annual wind-and-leaf chaos — so I went big, grabbing six of the 2L concentrate jugs at about $117 each (north of $700 with CT tax, and no diluting it to stretch your money). I followed the instructions closely, spending 5-6 hours applying and reapplying second and third coats across every bed, but the results were disappointing: a ...

Waste of Money
Would Not RecommendSuper expensive and doesn't work at all... followed direction exactly, multiple applications, and the mulch is as lose as it was before I applied any of this garbage.

Doesn’t work
I bought 4 gallons of this about a month ago for the pea gravel I was putting in between my stone patio stones. It took SO much more than I was expecting and is already failing to stick it together. Very disappointed $200 wasted.

Save your $50.
Would Not RecommendIt was as if I just sprayed the mulch with water and let it dry for 24 hours with no rain. Just the wind blows the mulch around after. It does say apply 2 or 3 coats, but at $50 a gallon. You would think it would stick together at least a little on one coat. I could run my hands through the mulch and nothing was sticking together. Even $15 would be too much for this product. I never write reviews, but had to on this one. A lot of money that could be put to better use.

Used this on a 15” wide pea gravel pathway that does not get a lot of foot traffic. Applied two coats, on a sunny, summer day, allowing 24hrs between coats. Raked out the gravel to make smooth surface. 1st application was slow and tedious with a lot of bending over. Easy to see where applied. 2nd coat went faster. This was done 4 days ago so I can’t comment on length of time product lasts. Took a few steps on the surface. It was hard. I have the remaining larger area to do but not sure when th...
