Playground Mulch is fall certified if placed 8″ – 12″, depending on where it is being placed.

To ensure the colorant of your color enhanced mulch lasts as long as possible, avoid installing colored mulch 24-48 hours before rain (avoid sprinkling). Colored mulch needs to be exposed to air for 24-48 hours for the colorant to “lock” in. (No compensation will be given if colorant washing occurs).
