Mulch & Ground Cover Materials

Left uncovered, soil seldom stays as you prepared it. Sun bakes it hard, rain compacts it, and weeds arrive as if by invitation. Mulch is the gardener’s answer — a simple layer that quietly does many jobs at once.

Mulches moderate temperature, slow evaporation, and soften the force of heavy rain so water soaks in instead of running off. They keep roots cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and greatly reduce the endless work of pulling weeds. A bed properly mulched needs less watering, less cultivation, and far less correction later in the season. The garden begins to hold its moisture, and its shape, with a kind of steady composure.

In this collection you will find natural mulches such as bark, straw, and pine straw, along with decorative coverings and practical ground barriers used to manage pathways, beds, and borders. Landscape fabrics and fastening materials are included for long-term weed control and soil stabilization where planting is permanent and foot traffic is expected.

Mulch does not call attention to itself, yet it makes nearly every planting look intentional and well kept. Flowers stand cleaner, vegetables stay healthier, and soil improves year after year beneath the covering.
