Ohio Mulch Shredded Mulch

This mulch uses a durable iron oxide coating designed to resist fading throughout the growing season. While exposure to intense sun and heavy rain can eventually affect the vibrancy, you can expect the color to remain consistent for several months.

Yes, this is a hardwood mulch that is safe for general landscaping. However, because it is color-enhanced with iron oxide, some gardeners prefer to keep it strictly for decorative beds rather than mixing it directly into edible soil.

The shredded texture is finer and more fibrous than standard wood chips. This allows the mulch to interlock better, creating a tighter mat that stays in place on slopes and helps suppress weeds more effectively.

One cubic yard covers approximately 162 square feet at a depth of two inches. We recommend applying it at this depth to provide adequate moisture retention and weed suppression without suffocating your plants.

The iron oxide dye is generally stable once dry, but it can leave residue on concrete or stone if applied while wet or if heavy rain occurs immediately after spreading. It is best to sweep any excess mulch off hard surfaces promptly after installation.
