Cypress Mulch

Cypress mulch is often considered the gold standard of wood-based garden mulches due to its excellent water holding properties and resistance to rot. It can last up to five times longer than a similar quantity of pine straw mulch. It has a fine, light texture that makes it easy to apply and it comes in a pleasing range of colors including red, gold, brown and black. Cypress mulch offers a pleasant aroma due to the cypress oil it contains, and this oil is also touted as offering a degree of natural pest resistance. Its soft texture makes it a good covering for paths and to provide safe landing areas beneath playground structures.
