Common Mulch Used in Landscaping & Construction

  • Wood chip mulch: Shredded from timber offcuts, this mulch delivers excellent coverage for open soil areas and tree surrounds. Its coarse texture helps to block sunlight from reaching weed seeds, while providing a long-lasting protective layer over garden beds.
  • Forest mulch: Sourced from a mix of decomposed organic matter like bark, leaf litter and branch fragments, forest mulch offers rich texture and dark colour. It breaks down gradually to nourish the soil, making it an ideal top layer for native and ornamental plantings.
  • Hardwood mulch: Derived from slow-decomposing hardwoods, this mulch is prized for its durability and clean appearance. It’s particularly well-suited for high-traffic spaces and garden areas where a tidy, uniform finish is desired.
  • Tea tree mulch: Finely textured and naturally aromatic, tea tree mulch adds both function and flair to outdoor spaces. Its antifungal properties make it especially useful for suppressing pathogens, and its moisture retention benefits help plants thrive in exposed environments.

Why Mulch Matters for Soil Health & Plant Growth

Mulch plays an essential role in promoting strong, resilient landscapes. It helps maintain consistent moisture levels by reducing evaporation, which is vital during dry or windy conditions. Mulch also reduces soil compaction and shields the surface from erosion caused by heavy rain or foot traffic. As it decomposes, organic mulch enriches the soil structure by introducing nutrients and increasing microbial activity. This boosts the soil’s fertility and promotes better root development, leading to stronger, more vigorous plants throughout the growing season.

FAQ's

  • Can mulch help reduce the need for watering in garden beds?

    Yes, mulch significantly slows down water evaporation from the soil. This allows moisture to stay in the root zone for longer periods, reducing the frequency of irrigation. Over time, this can lead to substantial water savings, especially in dry months. Choosing mulch with good insulating properties, like forest or hardwood mulch, enhances this benefit even more.

  • How long does mulch typically last before needing replacement?

    Most organic mulches break down gradually and will need topping up every 12 to 18 months. Finer mulches like tea tree may decompose faster, while hardwood varieties last longer due to their density. Reapplying mulch keeps your soil protected and maintains visual consistency in your garden. It's best to inspect mulch annually and replenish it before it thins out too much.

  • Is there a risk of nitrogen drawdown with fresh mulch?

    Yes, if mulch is dug into the soil instead of kept on the surface, it can cause temporary nitrogen depletion. This happens because soil microbes use nitrogen to break down woody material. To avoid this, always apply mulch as a surface layer and avoid mixing it into the root zone. If you’re concerned, applying a nitrogen-rich fertiliser underneath the mulch can help balance the effect.
