Fresh mulch is one of the smartest investments you can make for your landscape. Here’s why:

• Weed Suppression: A proper 2–3 inch layer blocks sunlight and dramatically reduces weed growth.
• Temperature Protection: It insulates plant roots from Georgia’s extreme summer heat and occasional winter cold snaps.
• Moisture Retention: Mulch holds water in the soil longer — critical during dry spells common in our area.
• Soil Improvement: As it breaks down, organic mulches add nutrients and build healthy topsoil. Earthworms move in and further enrich the ground.
• Prevents Root Rot & Compaction: It protects shallow roots and keeps clay soil from packing down hard.
• Curb Appeal: Nothing finishes off a bed like fresh, even mulch.

We recommend applying mulch 2 inches thick. Year one and two you’ll likely need a full refresh; by year three you’ll often only need a lighter top-dressing once you’ve built a good base layer of soil.

Barber Landscaping carries eleven different mulches with varying textures, colors, and price points. All are ground and screened for quality. Here are the most popular options we install in Cumming and Forsyth County:

Dyed Mulch (Red, Brown, Black) Ground hardwood screened clean then dyed with eco-friendly colorants. Great for trees, shrubs, and large open beds. Color lasts 6–12 months. Popular for a clean, uniform look.

Pine Bark Mulch Available in nuggets, mini nuggets, and larger sizes. Excellent around acid-loving plants like azaleas, evergreens, and blueberries. Breaks down relatively quickly to feed your soil.

Cypress Mulch Naturally insect-repellent due to its aroma. Ideal for playground areas (certified I.P.M.A. and A.S.T.M. F 1292-96). Lasts longer than most wood mulches — up to 2 years if turned every 6 months.

Other Options We Carry

• Brown Dyed Hardwood
• Mini Pine Nuggets
• Mini Pine
• Additional hardwood varieties and specialty mixes (ask about current stock)

We’ll help you choose the best type for your specific beds, plants, and budget.

Rock is a great alternative to mulch because you will not have to maintain it quite as much as wood mulch. It doesn’t fade, and can look better throughout the year. However, you will lose the benefits that decomposing mulch has to offer. Rock will not be constantly adding more nutrient to your garden soil.
