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.

Would RecommendI've been buying these a lot.... unfortunately the last few bags mostly contained light colored shredded instead of black. Didn't think it was worth the gas to return but should get a discount on more bags !

Purchased from Lowe’s and product was different.
Would Not RecommendI 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.

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

Inconsistent color
Would Not RecommendI 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.
I only use this brand of mulch
Would RecommendAlways quality.

Excellent Quality Mulch That Looks Better and Last
Would RecommendI decided to spend a little extra on ProLine Black Forest Mulch, and I'm glad I did. The triple-shredded texture gives it a much more uniform and finished appearance than many of the cheaper mulch brands. It spreads easily, stays in place better, and doesn't contain the large wood chunks that often end up scattered in the lawn. So far, the color has held up well and looks much richer than the bargain mulch often sold for around $2 per bag during Memorial Day sales. Those cheaper products tend t...

Great mulch
Would RecommendI have used this mulch for years and love it. It breaks down nice by the end of the year so I don't need to pull it out because its faded or has big chunks in it like the dyed mulch.

Would RecommendThis seems to be the most popular mulch in our area. Lowes is always running out. Grab several bags while it was in stock and we'll use it around the flower beds and other locations. Seems to work great for the season and then breaks down over the fall and winter to become part of the soil.
