Awesome Water Retention: Finer Texture helps retain moisture, meaning you have to water less often.
Weed Control: A close, dense mat suppresses the growth of weeds.
Improved Curb Appeal: The even, dark appearance immediately enhances your landscape.
Gradual Breakdown: Mulch made from hardwood breaks down slowly, providing nutrients back to the soil naturally.
 
A client from Ohio said, "After replacing our mulch last fall with Boss Supply's triple shredded hardwood mulch we noticed 40% less weeds and much healthier shrubs within the first year!"

Dyed Brown Shredded Hardwood Mulch — Caring for Your Garden
 
Prepare Your Garden Beds
Proper cleaning of your garden beds before applying new mulch:
 
Get rid of weeds, old mulch and detritus.
Use a rake to loosen the top layer of soil for better water seepage.
 
This will provide an ideal base for your Dyed Brown shredded hardwood mulch to lay and thrive on.
 
Apply the Right Amount
A layer between 2 to 3 inches is best for most garden beds.
 
If it's too thin weeds could poke through.
If it is too thick, plant roots may struggle to get air.
 
Tip: 1 cubic yard of mulch will cover approximately 100 square feet to a depth of 3 inches. If you need assistance in calculating your mulch order, read to the end of this article where we will guide you on how to calculate this ratio based on your area.

Spread Mulch Evenly
Use your hands or a rake to spread it out, keeping a few inches from the trunk of trees and the stems of plants. Leaving piles of mulch against the plants themselves can cause rot and disease.
 
 
Refresh Mulch Seasonally
Eventually even the best strange thorny stick crumb will decay and settle. Retop every 12 months or so to keep it looking fresh and performing at its best.
 
Boss Tip: Best time to apply an additional coating is in early spring and late fall!
 
 
Bonus: Why Triple Shred Hardwood Mulch is a Gardener's Trust
Hardwood mulch looks good and helps conserve water but it will also benefit the health of your soil. It dopes beneficial microorganism during decomposition, it improves soil texture as well as soil fertility and gives protection to plants against extreme temperature.
 
Hardwood mulch holds moisture, which helps prevent your roots from going into shock; this is key for some plants (things like shrubs, perennials, and ornamental trees that you might plant).

FAQs

What grass grows best in North Carolina?

Tall fescue is the most reliable grass for the majority of North Carolina lawns. It handles heat, partial shade, and clay soil better than most cool-season alternatives. In full-sun, high-heat areas, Bermuda grass is a strong performer.

What is the easiest grass to grow in NC?

Tall fescue is the easiest grass to establish and maintain for most NC homeowners. It germinates within two weeks, develops a strong root system, and does not require intensive care. Annual ryegrass is the easiest for quick, temporary coverage.

What is the softest grass to walk on?

Zoysia grass produces one of the softest, most carpet-like surfaces when fully established. Among the grasses commonly grown in North Carolina, it offers the densest, most comfortable feel underfoot. Fine fescue blends can also feel soft, though they are less common as standalone lawns in NC.

When is the best time to plant grass seed in North Carolina?

For cool-season grasses like tall fescue, plant in early to mid-fall (mid-September through mid-October). For warm-season grasses like Bermuda, plant in late spring to early summer (May through June). Fall planting gives cool-season grass the longest establishment window before summer stress.

Is Bermuda or fescue better for North Carolina?

It depends on your yard. Bermuda is better for full-sun, high-traffic areas and handles extreme heat well. Fescue is better for shaded or partially shaded yards, stays green longer, and requires less intensive maintenance. Most residential lawns in NC do better with tall fescue.

Can I mix Bermuda and fescue in my NC lawn?

It is not recommended. Bermuda and fescue have different growth habits, mowing heights, and seasonal behaviors. Mixing them usually leads to an uneven lawn where one grass outcompetes the other. Choose one type based on your conditions and commit to it.
