What’s in your mulch matters.
Our Premium Hardwood Bark Mulch starts with quality hardwood bark sourced from paper chip and lumber mills throughout the southern United States. We use a blend of hardwood species—including oak, sweetgum, poplar, maple, hickory, and elm—and never blend in wood waste or foreign materials. Once it arrives at our Illinois facility, the bark is carefully processed and prepared for delivery across Chicagoland. The result? A premium mulch trusted by landscapers, garden centers, and homeowners for its natural appearance, consistency, and performance. Quality starts at the source.
