Sustainable Mulch from Local Tree Prunings

Recycled | Waterwise | Soil-Enriching

Made from fresh, mixed tree prunings sourced directly from local arborists! It’s a coarse, organic mulch that delivers powerful benefits to your garden—helping to retain soil moisture, regulate soil temperature, and reduce weed growth. Contrary to common myths, fresh mulch does not rob nitrogen from plants, and it’s one of the best all-rounders for long-term soil health and microbial activity.

By using locally-sourced, tree-based mulch, you’re also supporting a circular economy and reducing green waste to landfill. While not as refined as premium mulches, Bush Mulch still offers excellent garden benefits—especially for large-scale or low-maintenance areas. Its coarse, fibrous texture breaks down over time to enrich soil while supporting healthy microbial activity.

Ideal for:

• Garden beds and borders
• Native plantings
• Budget-conscious garden beds
• Fruit trees and orchards
• Pathways and natural play areas
• Waterwise and low-maintenance landscapes

Available in bulk.
