MULCH & WOOD CHIP

Our range of mulches and wood chip supplies offer Sydney landscapers and gardeners one of the most cost-effective and efficient ways of improving soil health and promoting plant growth.

Some of the amazing benefits of using mulch on your garden include:

• Mulching reduces water evaporation by as much as 50% meaning you will need to use less water and water less frequently.

• Mulch keeps soil temperatures more regulated, reducing fluctuation from weather extremes and enabling some plants that need cooler roots to thrive whilst still needing sunlight to flower.

• Mulch attracts earthworms. This adds to the health of the soil through aeration and nutrients in the form of worm casts.

• Mulching helps to maintain good soil structure by allowing plants to have maximum access to moisture and oxygen. It can also reduce soil erosion from wind and rain.

• Mulching is an effective and environmentally friendly way of suppressing weeds without the use of harmful chemicals.

• Mulch and wood chip make gardens look great, giving a consistent colouring and uniform coverage.

Generally, we recommend mulches or wood chips be applied up to a thickness of 50-75mm. Coarser material can be applied more thickly whilst the finer mulches should be applied more sparingly to a thickness of between 30-40mm as its coverage is denser, and can cause deoxygenation, depriving plants of the natural air they need to survive. Finer mulches have a tendency to breakdown into your soil faster than courser mulches and chip do and will require more regular top-up or replacement.

Deciding on a which mulch to use often will depend on the purpose or goal you are trying to achieve:

• Plant health and soil improvement may lead to a Eucalyptus Mulch or Sugar Cane Mulch.

• Complimenting or contrasting with plant foliage may mean selecting a coloured chip like Redwood Chip or Midnight Mulch.

• Low maintenance and durability will likely lead you to try a Wood Chip, Pine Chip or Pine Bark. 

• If you have a garden full of native Australian flora you may like Eucalyptus Mulch to match with the plant life
