Designer Black Colored Mulch slightly aged then ground and colored in the same process. Particle size is very consistent and does not have as many fines as an aged mulch has. It is the longest lasting mulch we carry. The deep black color will last for many months unlike aged classic mulches thanks to ultra-violet light inhibitors.  Feel safe knowing we use eco-friendly colorant that is safe for people, pets and plants. No construction C&D wood or pallets in this mulch! Your garden beds will look great for mulch longer and your plants will thrive!
Recommended application is around 3 inches for best weed resistance, moisture retention, and frost protection. You should go a little less around small plants, however with less all around you could be allowing weeds to grow or plantings to suffer from frost or extreme heat. The mulch acts like a blanket to extreme temps and droughts. You will find yourself mulching more often when too little is used. More than 3″ is just wasteful and could choke out plants. 4″ can be used around well established trees where you want no competition to insure great growth. Make sure mulched tree rings taper off near the bark of the tree.
Note: Because this mulch is colored, we do not recommend mulching within ~24 hours of expected rain.  Black Colored Mulch cures in our holding bins, however a final cure is still needed after spreading. Please call with any questions. You can read up on colored mulch tips and tricks here!

Colored mulch is produced through a process of grinding wood fiber while injecting a natural dye solution of water and pigment. It is then piled together in a storage bin where the mulch stays wet and the color continues to absorb into the wood fibers.
While partial curing happens in storage bins at our facility, the final curing happens when the mulch is spread and a drying period of approximately 24 hours is needed for the color to adhere to the wood fiber. The curing process is crucial for the mulch to maintain its rich color. If rain or irrigation sprinklers occur during the curing process, the color may fade.
If you have received mulch but fear rain is in the forecast, It's okay! Piled mulch exposed to rain on your driveway will not affect color when spread. Just leave it there. Rain will "sheet" off the pile and only 2" will be wet. Only the crust could slightly fade. Plan to spread after the rain event is over. The transfer and spreading of the mulch will redistribute color and should look great in your garden beds.
