Black Mulch is a nutrient rich product that helps prevents pesky weeds, cultivate healthier plants, and enhance the look of an outdoor space. At The Grass Store, we produce our very own black mulch on-site, allowing us to have full control over the entire process and provide the highest quality mulch to our customers. From sourcing smaller tree limbs with minerals, protein, vitamins, and enzymes that large wood doesn’t have, using premium quality black dye, to double shredding the mulch for a finer texture, we don’t skip the important steps.
What is Black Mulch and What Makes ours Different?
Mulch is a layer of material applied to the surface of soil to retain moisture and help prevent weeds while still allowing air and nutrients flow into the soil. However, not all mulch is created equal. We stand out from our competition by being picky in the sourcing process to only use smaller branches and limbs that contain more nutrients than big wood. We complete the entire mulch process on-site to maintain quality control, guaranteeing a better product. We pride ourselves in being eco-friendly and only using 100% recycled tree trimmings and completely organic materials. Our mulch always comes from clean natural wood fiber, goes through a process to be double shredded, and comes uniformly sized for functionality and appearance. Our mulches will never contain certain things like pallet wood, dimensional lumber, and fence panels, as they contain unknown contaminants. The dye we use in our black mulch is long-lasting to hold its color throughout the year with very minimal fading. The distinctive black color from our high-quality mulch creates a striking contrast with green lawns, plants, and colorful flowers making it a beautiful option.

At The Grass Store, we believe in delivering the highest quality products to our customers. That’s why we make our black mulch on-site, ensuring meticulous attention to detail throughout the entire process from sourcing materials to creating the finished product. By taking charge of every step and being choosy about the raw materials we use for recycling into mulch to the final product, we can maintain strict quality control standards and offer a superior black mulch that will meet your specific needs.
Transforming Tree Trimmings into Fine Mulch
We want your soil to thrive so we only accept and mulch the smaller, more nutrient-rich wood that has important minerals, protein, vitamins, enzymes that larger wood doesn’t have. To ensure our customers receive the best black mulch on the market we use smaller wood, simply put, because it makes for better mulch. We pride ourselves in being the best eco-friendly black mulch choice for your garden or landscaping projects.

Texture matters when it comes to mulch, and our black mulch stands out with its incredibly fine texture. Through a meticulous double grinding process, we achieve the optimal consistency that is both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. This fine texture allows for better coverage, ensuring even distribution and maximum effectiveness when it comes to moisture retention and weed suppression.
Say Goodbye to Chunky Mulch
Chunky mulch can detract from the overall appearance of your garden or landscaping design. We understand the importance of a uniform and visually appealing mulch layer and that’s why we’ve made it a point not to sell large, chunky mulch.

Uses for Black Mulch
Tips for Applying Black Mulch
Dress Appropriately: Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and gloves to protect your hands, as the dye can leave marks on skin and clothing. You might be kneeling to spread the mulch, so jeans or protective pants could be helpful to wear.
Prepare the Soil: Before you get to work, it’s important to prepare the soil by removing any weeds or debris. You want to start with a clean and watered area.
Apply the Right Amount: Aim for a depth of around 2-4 inches for best results. Applying too much mulch can suffocate your plants, while applying too little may not provide the necessary benefits.
Watch Where You Apply: Start pouring the mulch around existing plants, but watch where you apply to avoid covering up plants that haven’t sprouted yet. Direct contact between black mulch and plant stems can lead to moisture buildup and disease, so be sure to leave a small gap around the base of your plants.
Reapply as Needed: With time, black mulch can break down and may need to be reapplied to maintain its benefits and deep, dark color. To help maintain longevity, try turning the mulch and raking it every few months.
