Known by avid gardeners as “jewelry for your garden”, mulch is typically available in 3 basic colors: black, brown, and red. Some homeowners want the color of their mulch to blend seamlessly into their landscape while others may want to accentuate or highlight their land.
Mulch replacement will depend on the type, adn color of mulch you choose, combined with environmental factors. In some places, organic mulch can last as long as 5-6 years before it needs to be replaced. Due to the Northeast’s environmental conditions, homeowners in our region may choose to replace their mulch annually or every other year. Since we experience the traditional 4 seasons, factors like heavy rain and snowfall can expedite the decomposition process of natural mulch.
