Mulch makes a huge difference in the appearance and health of a landscape. However, with a variety of options available, it can be difficult to choose which to use or supply, especially the color. As the trusted name in wholesale mulch for PA, we would like to discuss the different colors and types of mulch and how to best pick ones suited for your business property and assist customers in matching mulch to the color of their unique home. We’ll also discuss the most popular type of mulch, and why you may want to consider local hardwood mulch over others.
First, there are three colors of mulch; black, brown and red. In general, one should pick a mulch color that enhances the flowers within it and the landscape that surrounds it. For example, white flowers look beautiful with red mulch. However, you can’t go wrong with black and brown mulch because these colors make flowers stand out in your outdoor space.
- Black. Black mulch really helps green foliage pop. It is perfect to use with modern, mid-century and gray or blue properties or homes.
- Brown. For red brick homes or commercial properties, brown mulch matches best.
- Red. For warmer tones like terra cottas, red is your best bet.
In general, hardwood mulch offers the best variety and style at the best price. Landscapers and gardeners alike find hardwood mulches to provide what they need. Hardwood mulches come from shredded branches or small trees and slab wood from logs. A question to ask your mulch supplier, “do your products contain old construction wood, pallets or utility poles”? Stay away from these types of products. A.M. Logging prides itself in only using natural hardwood to make our high-quality mulch. We DO NOT use any old recycled wood waste. Recycled wood waste is not healthy for your soil or for plants.
Natural hardwood mulch becomes alkaline as it breaks down, benefiting your plants and landscape. Wood chips or shavings can turn gray on the surface and should be turned once a year and replaced after one or two years.
Locally sourced mulch is always best. Our locally-based, environmentally conscious business works closely with the DCNR Bureau of Forestry, The Pennsylvania Game Commission and The Nature Conservancy. We realize our forests provide us with the many products we use daily. When clearing trees and harvesting timber, we use every part of the tree to ensure nothing is wasted.
Here at A.M. Logging, we offer natural hardwood mulch, patio, and playground surfacing, and more. Not sure which to choose? Our experts at A.M. Logging can help you make these important decisions.
