Frequently Asked Landscape Material Questions

The word ‘mulch’ is an industry term that describes any material (usually natural or organic) that is used in plant beds. In the past, the word ‘mulch’ was just associated with ‘shredded cypress mulch’ but today it can mean most any product on the market.
