Just based on the reviews and pictures I’ve seen online of this, it looks like booty (in a bad way). Several people said there is literally nothing premium about this stuff other than the price. If you want a laugh go read the reviews of this stuff on another site.

I’m honestly really struggling to find why you’d give this stuff a try. I would be prepared to re-mulch often if this is the mulch you go with.Īt $3.78 per 1.5 cubic foot ($2.52/cu ft), this mulch isn’t really that affordable. I purchased this for the front of my house a few years ago, and it did start to grey pretty quickly.

A washed out mulch bed is almost as bad as no mulch bed at all in my opinion. This is dyed mulch that doesn’t appear to last very long. However, most reviews I’ve seen of this product say it will be extremely washed out after about a week or so. If you’re looking for a quick spruce up of the landscape for a party or something, then this mulch is for you. Not super high quality stuff but it’ll get the job done (at least in the short term). Let’s review what there is to like (or dislike…) about this mulch at Lowe’s JET BLACK Black Hardwood MulchĪ bang for your buck offering from Jet Black, this black hardwood mulch is what it is. The JET BLACK mulch really wants you to know what color it is. This product will run you about $4.98 per 2 cubic feet ($2.49/cu ft) so it’s pricey but the convenience of it being in bags and with Preen included makes this very enticing. Russet red is typically used more with commercial properties like schools and restaurants. I prefer chestnut brown around my house, but often see folks with Midnight Black as their color of choice in their garden. All the colors come with a 12 month guarantee. (Maybe not red though.) It comes in russet red, chestnut brown and midnight black. Had I known this product existed when I mulched this past year I would’ve definitely used it. When I saw Preen made a mulch with herbicide included, I was so pumped. It won’t kill existing weeds but it does prevent seeds from germinating so it takes a few years for it really to start kicking in. It saves me hours (perhaps days) of weeding time come spring and summer. Preen is one of my favorite products to apply to my garden/landscape. Preen Mulch with Extended Control Weed Preventer Check out their mulch with weed preventer below. Preen mulch offers a variety of colors and is one of the higher-end mulches available. Gotta give the rubber bag a smack! Up close and personal with the smaller bag of mulch. If you don’t care about that then this is a great product and comes highly recommended on Amazon and Lowes.Īt $6.98 per 0.8 cubic feet bag ($8.73/cu ft) this is way more expensive than regular mulch in the short term but provides savings in about 2 years due to not having to re-mulch. Another “pro” of this mulch is that it won’t attract bugs that can be damaging to existing landscapes.Ī major con to rubber mulch is that it won’t provide the soil enriching properties that organic mulch provides. Reviews on Lowe’s website vary on the validity of that but somewhere in the 8 to 12 range is a safe bet. This is great for commercial landscaping, playgrounds or schools that don’t want to have to deal with the mess and hassle of remulching every year.Īccording to NuScape, this product is fade resistant for up to 12 years (with a warranty!). NuScape Rubber Mulch NuggetsĪs the name suggests, NuScape Brown Rubber Mulch Nuggets are shredded or chopped 100% recycled rubber. Is it good for the environment? Probably not. We don’t know, but people who hate mulching every year love it.
