Dyed Mulch

Dyed mulch adds an interesting design element to landscapes. Made in the same painstaking manner as our natural mulch, we then apply dye made from carbon ash and iron—all-natural, non-toxic, and safe for the earth and any plants, animals, or people it touches.

Our dye, kiln drying, and lengthy curing process produce mulch with long-lasting color, extending replacement time.

We have been using Van der Linde Recycling for many years for container rentals and gravel. Everyone has always been extremely helpful, and the drivers have always been very professional. It can be difficult to get larger trucks back to our home, but they make it look easy. We recently ordered two large truckloads of mulch. When the original mulch that we ordered wasn’t available, the team at van der Linde was able to offer us an alternative. The mulch is very high quality, and perfect for our application. – Tom Hurtt

  • What should I know about mulch?

    Mulch is a material used in landscaping to prevent erosion, insulate soil, and maintain soil moisture for optimal plant growth. Mulch preserves the soil while also strengthening the roots of trees, grass, and garden plants. Furthermore, the appropriate mulch can provide a lot of visual appeal to your landscape.

  • What are the five most important benefits of mulching?

    Mulches conserve soil moisture, improve soil nutritional status, limit erosion losses, inhibit weeds in crop plants, and remove pesticide, fertilizer, and heavy metal residues. Mulches enhance both the aesthetic and economic value of landscapes.

  • What are the top five advantages of mulch?

    Mulch will lower the amount of water that evaporates from your soil, reducing the need to water your plants significantly. By breaking up clay and allowing improved water and air movement through the soil. Mulch feeds sandy soil and improves its ability to retain water during the summer.


  • Is mulch even necessary?

    Mulch is a gardener's best friend, particularly if you despise weeding. A thick layer of mulch will help keep weed seeds from sprouting and expanding to compete for water and nutrients with your plants. Mulch also conserves water.

  • Is mulch beneficial to all plants?

  • Can mulch keep bugs at bay?

    Millipedes, centipedes, spiders, sowbugs, earwigs, ants, and even cockroaches can be found crawling around in mulch beds. Many insects seek for the natural circumstances that mulch provides. These pests can aid in the breakdown of organic mulch and can even feed on garden pests.

  • Is mulch beneficial in hot weather?

    Mulching acts as a form of insulation. It assists in keeping your soil cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Because the soil is cooler, it protects plant roots from drying out or going into heat shock.

  • What characteristics distinguishes good mulch?

    Mulch's ability to shield a plant and its roots from the impacts of high temperature variations is an important feature. Mulches that are ideal must allow water and air to enter and exit the soil. They should be visually appealing, odorless, and stay in place.
