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.

Couldn't load pickup availability
I'm so glad I had this mulch delivered. In this year of heat, drought, & extreme weather it has worked to save our trees & plantings.
Super smooth ordering and delivery. Being retired now, I spent big chunks of four days to spread the mulch myself. Most went to cover and level up bare concrete-hard dirt spaces in between monster cottonwood tree roots. A bit challenging to wheel it in but a good workout. Grandmother Tree seems happy to have mulch between (but not covering over) her enormous toes! The rest covered a sad shrub bed and filled in hot dusty weedy spaces around front and back door stoops. Yes a few weeds and grass poke through but the appearance and cooling effect are a huge improvement. When this mulch eventually thins down and a new layer needs to be added I will likely try the native mulch.
Very good product and I was able to share with my neighbors.
They're super-friendly and easy to work with. Will order from them again.
My only issue is the random large pieces of wood that wasn't chipped down. Beautiful mulch. Looks great
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.
