Aesthetics
Why: Appearance is the second most common use for mulch. Depending on the type of mulch you choose, it can really add texture, depth, and color to your garden beds. With the right color and texture combination, you can make your garden shine.
How: Mulch can either match the colors and textures of your plants or be in complete contrast to give your garden the exact look you want.
General Tips:
- Darker mulches are great for underneath bright and vibrant green plant material.
- A lighter mulch works well for darker greens and brighter flower groupings.
- Medium sized Beauty-Bark or Sawdust are good examples of different colored and textured mulches to use around your landscape and garden plants.
