Mulch

Sold by 1 cubic yard scoop.
​We offer a variety of options for mulch for sale in Central PA such as:
Black Mulch
A kiln-dried hardwood mulch with no bark material. This material is finely ground with a fibrous texture, which allows it to hold well in high-wind areas and steep grades when packed down during installation. There are no hazardous chemicals. This color-enhanced product is died using all-natural pigments, and is human and pet-friendly. The color typically holds for 1-2 years from the time of installation, depending on the timing and conditions of installation. Ideal installation conditions are on a warm, dry day. The longer the material has to set and dry, the better the sun will cure the color.

Organic Enhanced

An organic dye is added to give this product a deeper, darker color, similar to our other dyed mulches, while also being darker and more finely ground than our other organic hardwood mulches. This product is most commonly used as a top-dressing over existing mulch beds. This is an all-natural and organic product.
Playground Cover
A kiln-dried hardwood material with no bark, but instead just includes the inside, or blonde, parts of the tree. This product is not aged at all, and is all-natural and chemical-free. This material is ideal for playground areas, embankments, and use in wooded areas.

Coarse Mulch
An all-hardwood bark mulch that is aged up to one year. This material is an all-natural and chemical-free product. This product is generally used as a basecoat for new landscape installations. The pieces of this mulch are bigger, allowing it to stay on the surface of mulch beds longer, resulting in increased longevity between installations.
