Garden mulch is like a health tonic for your garden, whether it’s for a backyard veggie patch or a formal flower bed. We recommend gardeners apply quality garden mulch to help retain water, moderate the impact of both hot and cold temperatures, reduce weeds and fight pests. 

Wallington's WRG has a wide selection of garden mulch for all your garden needs and overall aesthetic. There are two overall types of mulch to choose from. Firstly we have our organic mulches. These are based on natural ingredients from trees and plants, such as Mushrooms.

Tan Bark is softer than wood chips but still very hard-wearing, It is a great idea for low maintenance garden beds and floral locations due to its darker brown colour. It's fantastic for making those bright colours stand out. Suitable for paths and walkways with heavy traffic.

The natural vegetable dyes in Red Mulch give this product long-lasting burnt amber colour that is safe for children and animals. Red Mulch is great for plants and garden soil to help retain moisture and soil nutrients. It's also fantastic to look at against the green of your garden.

Red Gum Chips are hard-wearing like Tan Bark but are more flat and ideal for low maintenance garden beds. The coarse wood chips vary from grey to red in colour and have a much flatter surface area so they are suitable for garden beds that may be walked around or close to.

The perfect mulch for larger areas such as industrial farms or large landscape features. It's fantastic for a protective layer on crops and garden beds as it helps retain water moisture in the soil, protects against weed growth and breaks down gradually to put nutrients into the soil. Pine Mulch will need replacing from time to time.
