Mulch is a quick, convenient and economical way to elevate the look of your yard while simultaneously protecting and improving its soil. At Ace Hardware, we offer a variety of mulch bags in different sizes, materials and colors to suit any garden design.

What is Mulch?

Mulch is a layer of material applied to the soil's surface to suppress weed growth, reduce wind erosion, improve water retention and enhance your yard's appearance. It's commonly added over flowerbeds and borders, but it’s also perfect for marking pathways in naturally designed gardens.

Inorganic Vs. Organic Mulch

Garden mulch is available in two main types: organic mulch, made from wood or plant products and inorganic mulch, often made from rubber. Both have unique advantages depending on your gardening needs.

Wood Mulch Options

Wooden yard mulches are crafted from various sources, including pine mulch, cedar mulch and bark mulch. Organic mulches, like pine bark and cedar wood chips, provide the traditional benefits of suppressing weeds and slowing erosion. Additionally, they decompose over time, enriching your garden soil with essential nutrients and improving its texture.

This means wood mulch may need to be replaced periodically, but with various colors and varieties available, you can creatively change your garden’s look each season by simply changing your choice of mulch.

Rubber Mulch: A Durable Alternative

If you’re looking for inorganic mulch, rubber mulch is a reliable and popular option. Made from recycled rubber, it works well in both gardens and playgrounds, providing a softer surface underfoot compared to landscaping rocks. This type of mulch is long-lasting—it doesn’t rot, decay or fade, making it perfect for long-term landscaping projects.

Rubber mulch effectively reduces weed growth while allowing water to seep through to the soil below. Plus, it deters garden pests and withstands strong winds and storms, making it an excellent choice for commercial spaces needing durable landscaping solutions.

What Color Mulch Is Best?

The color of your mulch can make a significant impact on your garden's design. Colored mulch provides a striking contrast to plants, with shades like brown and red mulch adding rich tones that enhance your space. Choosing the right mulch colors can also complement your home’s exterior or patio design, giving you flexibility in decorating your garden. Notably, black mulch absorbs sunlight effectively, warming the soil and benefiting plants without overshadowing your garden’s aesthetic.

Seeding Mulch Bags for New Lawns

If you're starting from scratch with a new lawn, our seeding mulch bags are an economical solution to protect your young grass as it grows. Simply spread it over the sown seed, where it will defend against birds, heavy rain and wind while retaining moisture to promote germination.
