We refuse to use pallets, C&amp;D and fresh logs &amp; chips. When using pallets and construction debris you just can&#8217;t be sure what harmful chemicals, heavy metals, or debris are present. Many pallets come from over-seas where the pesticide and chemical use is not as regulated. In order to make appealing gold mulch, colorant needs to be introduced in freshly ground logs or chips. This sounds good, however you then skip the heat generation step. After our product is ground we let the product sit and generate heat within the pile destroying anything harmful for safety. Since a byproduct of the &#8220;cooking&#8221; process is a slightly darker product, were just not able to color it back to a lighter shade. If your set on a lighter color mulch consider our Brown Colored Mulch.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"accordion-2365824458\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-2365824458-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-mulching-before-expected-rain?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-2365824458-content\" >\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>Mulching before expected rain?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-2365824458-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-2365824458-label\" >\n\t\t\t\n<p>In the manufacturing process of colored mulch, water is a crucial dispersant. Both colorant and water are injected to encapsulate the much for the best possible appearance. A cure time is needed for the water to evaporate. While mulch significantly cures in our holding bins, it is best practice to avoid mulching on days where you are expecting rain within the next ~24 hours. If your mulch is already delivered and you think it might rain, just keep it in pile form and mulch after the storm is over!<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"accordion-825396322\" class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t<a id=\"accordion-825396322-label\" class=\"accordion-title plain\" href=\"#accordion-item-will-colored-mulch-stain-my-driveway?\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-825396322-content\" >\n\t\t\t<button class=\"toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><i class=\"icon-angle-down\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t<span>Will Colored Mulch Stain My Driveway?<\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div id=\"accordion-825396322-content\" class=\"accordion-inner\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-825396322-label\" >\n\t\t\t\n<p>Colored mulch will not stain a properly sealed driveway.\u00a0 If you have missed a sealing treatment on\u00a0a concrete driveway\u00a0then it&#8217;s best to have a tarp handy.

This will keep much from spilling on the grass.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean Garden Beds<\/strong> &#8211; Loosen hard clumps of soil and old mulch. Remove or till leaves and tree waste.\u00a0 Pull Weeds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pre Treatments<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0Apply weed killer if wanted. (Proper mulch thickness will reduce your need for pre-emergent)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transfer\u00a0Mulch Into Beds<\/strong>&#8211; Use a wheel barrow or 5 gallon buckets to transfer your mulch into little piles around your garden.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spread Mulch <\/strong>&#8211; Spread mulch by hand or garden shovels\/rakes being careful to lift leaves of small plants(such as hostas). Make sure mulch is around 3&#8243; thick and surrounding all plants. You will want to slope beds away from the house, fill small voids and level a little with mulch; this is all good!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Allow Colored Mulch to Cure <\/strong>&#8211; For the next 24 hours colored mulch should not see precipitation.\u00a0 Turn off any sprinklers and check the weather forecast. If it does rain, you can lightly till mulch to turn it over\u00a0to restore vibrant colors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean tools and driveway <\/strong>&#8211; While not usually needed, incase of color leaching you can use a garden hose or pressure washer to clean driveway and tools.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintenance<\/strong> &#8211; You can lightly till mulch to bring up vibrant colors again. Breaking up matting or compaction also helps with rainfall retention and aeration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n[CP_CALCULATED_FIELDS id=\"7\"]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-510","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/83landscapesupply.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/510"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/83landscapesupply.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/83landscapesupply.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/83landscapesupply.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/83landscapesupply.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=510"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/83landscapesupply.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/510\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6349,"href":"https:\/\/83landscapesupply.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/510\/revisions\/6349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/83landscapesupply.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
