Our Forest Floor Mulch looks, smells and feels just like the forest floor! It is created from chipped and ground woody materials, to which we add 10% of our Soilutions Compost, making it ideal for garden beds, tree wells, or anywhere your plants need an extra boost of nutrients. Forest Floor mulch ranges in length from 1/2" to 4".
Mulch is a necessity in any garden! Not only does it beautify your landscape, it provides crucial protection for your soil and plants. Mulch adds a beautiful layer to your soil that suppresses weeds, improves water retention and builds soil health. It also acts as a buffer against extreme temperature fluctuations, helping to insulate soil in the winter and protect from extreme heat in the summer.

the forest mulch is awesome and the gentlemen spreading the mulch were great, did exactly what I needed.
thanks
We have been using Soilutions products for several years and our gardens show it. The service offered to spread the mulch was fantastic. Great attitude and super job. We highly recommend both!
I didn’t want large pieces of wood, so ordered this for the yard. Pretty much as described, though there were a fair number of big clumps of hard packed dirt (3-4 inches in diameter), which I was not a fan of. Took those out as I came across them. Not sure where my landscaper got the forest floor mulch he put on my yard 10 years ago, but it was a lot cleaner than this. This will probably be okay. Do have to say, Delivery was great. 👍
Exactly what I wanted and placed exactly where I wanted it. Thanks!!
Never thought I would love mulch but I love this mulch.
We are very pleased with this for topping off all the areas of our property that we keep covered with mulch. This batch seemed to have even less recycled material, which was an additional plus. Lastly, company has always been reliable and consistent. So, all A,A,As for Soilutions!
I was very pleased with the Forest Floor Mulch from Soilutions. Delivery was great. The product was very clean and having a bit of compost blended in seemed to help anchor it in place when spread. I raked back my old bark mulch which had thinned out over the years and then applied a layer of 3 inches or so on an area which I try to keep as a reminder of our trips into the forests of NM and CO. I have no desire to “deaden” the area with gravel! The last touch was to replace some weathered logs I’ve collected, as part of the mountain forest theme. I think it looks great and look forward to added weed suppression! I hope to order more Soilutions planting mixture when my garden beds are ready. As I tell all my gardening friends, Soilutions products are SO much better than the bagged stuff from the big box stores— and much less expensive!
The curse of the age is plastic pieces and its contamination---I guess there is no way around the fact that we have to pick it out if we want it out. I can do that as I fill pots or beds. No use to complain---we all did this when we allowed bags to fly or wouldn't stoop down to pick up a bag or flying pieces---it is laziness and no thought for tomorrow----sadly. The mulch is just gorgeous and we may need more after awhile.
Layed down Soilutions compost. Wonderful! Then mulch. After a few weeks a plant appeared. Thought it was a gourd but turned out to be a cantaloupe plant. It produced the best cantaloupe. I just picked one today. Juicy and so sweet. So fun and a wonderful surprise! Thank you for the wonderful products.
I was surprised at how easy it was to order the mulch online. Pick up had a minor glitch in that I think I chose a location that wasn't open on Saturdays, but the Soilutions folks were available immediately by phone that morning when I realized my error and quickly had my order ready at another location. I'm very happy with both the product and service. In fact, I'll be ordering more soon.
