What Customers Are Saying
The Preen mulch product received mixed reviews. Some customers were satisfied with the color, weed control, and longevity, but many reported issues such as large chunks of wood, rocks, and debris instead of finely shredded mulch. The product's quality and consistency also varied, with some customers receiving bags of different shades or even moldy mulch. Overall, the consensus is that the Preen mulch is a hit-or-miss product, with a significant number of unsatisfied customers.

Would RecommendConsistency of mulch is good. No large chips. I have read complaints about scotts mulch having large chippers the size of fingers and also consistency varying with each bag. You dont get that with this product. I guess that is why this product is never on sale.

Mostly good mulch.
Most of the bags were ok, but a few were extremely moldy.
Good color, wet and dry.
Would RecommendIt’s midnight black is good. When it is applied it is very dark, but then it dries to the same color as the older chips we’ve laid down which is still a nice Black.
Excellent weed control
Would RecommendEasy to spread, Great weed control and looks great.

Don't do pay extra for Preen Mulch
Would Not RecommendThe Preen Black Mulch product itself was just fine. It spread perfectly fine. We cleared our bed from all weeds before laying out the black mulch. It's been about 3 weeks of summer heat and intermittent rain in Richmond, Texas. And lo and behold the weeds are back with revenge. Not sure if I can recommend paying all the extra money for this specialty product. Its didn't do as promised in keeping the weeds away.

It really does work!
Would RecommendWe love Preen! A neighbor suggested we try it LAST YEAR so we didn't hesitate THIS YEAR!! It works. At my age, I just can't weed all of my flower beds every weekend that I'm home. Preen does the job for me, inviting the weeds to leave before I can ever see them. THANKS for such an awesome product!!

Keeps weeds down as advertised!
Would RecommendCosts a bit more but well worth it. It keeps the weeds down as advertised. I have been using it for years with the same constant results.

Easier to put down than most other mulches
Would RecommendLooks good, but don't know yet if it will suppress weeds
product fine, staff unacceptable
Would Not Recommendtried to get 30 bags of this today, after walking past 5 Lowes employees seemingly playing with the completely gratuitous 'fence' around items in the parking lot i waited for 15 minutes to get a cashier to ring up 30 bags of mulch. then i went to loading, no one there, no big deal, happy to do it myself. no product. walked the whole lot to confirm all they had was inside. finally found an employee and said hey, all you got is sorta 30 bags on a pallet inside (lots of tapped up bags and they onl...
