Check the color
Would RecommendWe like the red Preen a lot and it would get a five plus but for one thing - five bags that I picked up at Lowe's in Newport News in March were filled with brown mulch, not red. I had some red mulch left over from last fall and now have a bed that is two tone. All bags were labled Russet Red but five were BROWN!
Lowe’s carries great products
Would RecommendWhere are the sales associate to assist with putting the mulch in my vehicle? I’m 71 years old I should not have to lift 8 bags of mulch.

not worth the money
it looks nice but it does not block weeds as it's marketed too and charge extra for.
Thank you for your review. We are very sorry you are experiencing this and we would like the opportunity to speak with you personally on this matter...
Worth the few extra $$
Helps reduce pesky weeds in my parking strip. I weed, spread granuar preen, then this as a top dressing. Works well.
Good mulch
Would RecommendWhat i like about the product is weed control. I tried rubber mulch nd it was easy to go back to this due to the less chances of weeds coming through in the flower bed

Does not slow down or stop grass in your bedding
Would Not RecommendAllows tons of grass to grow. Grass may not be a weed but just as difficult to remover from bedding

DEFINITELY NOT THE SAME PRODUCT!
Would Not RecommendLast year this was an outstanding product, NOT THIS YEAR! Last year the mulch was small quarter to 50 cent pieces. NOT THIS YEAR! This year there are very large chunks in this mulch making it look like the cheapest single run trash mulch you can buy. The only thing nice is the chestnut color; no one else has this.
