Most common mulches and rock used in our landscape designs.
For our customers in the Palmetto, Parrish and Bradenton areas, most residential (and even many commercial) property owners choose red mulch because it stands out. However, cypress mulch is definitely another popular choice. Here is a list of the most common mulch and rock ground coverings we install in our area.
Cypress Mulch – This organic mulch is made from shredded cypress trees and has an attractive natural wood color.
Red Mulch – Produced from the bark material of cypress, redwood, cedar and pine trees, this mulch is harvested through the lumber milling process. Dyes or stains are typically added during the manufacturing process to produce the desired color.
Pine Bark Nuggets – These nuggets come in many different sizes, is long lasting and when it does begin to break down, it adds nutritional organic material to the soil.
Black Mulch – This mulch is relatively the same as the red mulch, but they add black dye during the manufacturing process instead.
White River Rock – This decorative rock is primarily white with small amounts of tan and gray tone, along with a smooth rounded texture.
Brown River Rock – This particular rock is very similar to the white river rock, but is brown with cream and white colors.
Red Lava Rock – These rocks form when volcanoes erupt, leaving magma (lave) on the surface. Much of this rock is dug from ancient volcanoes sites in places like Utah or New Mexico.
Shell Rock/Washed Shell – These small shells are great for landscaping beds and is typically mined in Florida. This is because Florida was once covered in water and over the years, large shell deposits have been discovered under the surface. This shell is mined and sold as washed shell or shell rock.
