Mulch

Mulch offers an excellent solution for enhancing your curb appeal. This material makes maintaining your garden, yard or landscape simple and convenient, so Busy Beaver Building Centers provides high-quality options at great prices.

Reasons to Use Mulch

You can add mulch to your garden beds or high-traffic areas to create walking paths. When added to your lawn or ground, it performs the following functions:

• Prevents weeds: Mulch reduces weeds and makes any potential growth easier for gardeners to pull. 
• Reduces erosion: A layer of mulch slows runoff and can avoid soil detachment in a landscape.
• Acts as insulation: Mulch offers better temperature control, keeping soil cooler during the summer. 
• Improves soil quality: A layer of mulch breaks up clay, allowing better air and water movement.
• Offers better water retention: Mulch reduces how much water can evaporate from your soil.

4 Tips for Buying Mulch Bags on Sale

Choosing the right mulch can provide an appearance you like and meet all your landscaping needs. Follow these steps for picking the perfect bags or selecting a mulch in bulk:

1. Pick a Color 

What color would you like? Black mulch creates a bold contrast against green foliage and looks contemporary. Brown mulch softens the looks of homes with vibrant brick. Red mulch is well-suited for properties with light, warm and gold tones. 

2. Select the Material

Our inventory includes different compositions and sizes. Traditional mulch has a medium consistency and is generally made from woods like pine or cedar. It's ideal for slopes, walkways and gardens. Rubber mulch nuggets have a thicker consistency and nonporous qualities. You can apply it to various applications, including children's playgrounds. 

3. Choose the Best Brands

We offer mulch from trusted brands. Scotts is an ideal brand for mulch, and NatureScape is a favorite among those who prefer brown mulch nuggets. You can take a look at our reviews if you'd like to learn more. 

4. Buy the Amount You Need

Our stores offer black, brown and red mulch on sale in bags or in bulk. Our bulk quantities are measured in cubic yards. To determine how much mulch you'll need, multiply the square feet you want to cover by the depth in fractions of a foot rather than inches. Then, divide your answer by 27.
