Mulches
Every year in Ontario more and more pesticides are banned and gardeners and landscapers need new and organic ways to control weeds and promote plant growth.
Mulch offers a natural and effective alternative to chemical weed controls – and it does so much more. 
Mulch Benefits
- Moisture – a layer of mulch over your garden’s soil will help maintain moisture levels during dry spells and reduce the need for watering – it’s a labour saving device!
- Insulation – mulch helps soil and plants battle winter’s freezing temperatures and summer’s heat and dry conditions.
- An Attractive Garden – mulch comes in a variety of colours, sizes and textures that beautify and highlight your garden

How much mulch do you need? Take the Length (ft) of the area to be covered x Width (ft) x Depth (inches) divided by 12, then again divided by 27 and you have your cubic measurement!
