How Our Mulch Outperforms Theirs: Don’t Buy From Big Box Stores
When you search “mulch for sale” in Gainesville and the surrounding communities, the chances are good that you will get plenty of results for big box stores such as Lowes, Home Depot, or even Walmart. While at first glance these may seem like perfectly reasonable places to purchase your mulch, there are many reasons why buying your mulch from Gaston Mulch and Soil is the better choice—whether you’re planting garden beds or doing a full landscaping project. Learn why Gaston’s mulch is the superior, long-term choice for landscaping and gardening needs.
The Advantages of Our Mulch
Mulch quality may not seem like much of a big deal, but it matters for its effectiveness. Buying lesser-quality mulch can easily lead to wasted effort and money, not to mention unnecessary frustration. There are even horror stories on the internet about mulch from big box stores containing weed seeds and causing foreign weed species to grow where the mulch is placed!
On the other hand, buying the right mulch from a highly reputable place to begin with provides numerous benefits, including the following.
Naturally Sourced
When you buy your mulch from Gaston, you can be assured that it is naturally sourced and part of our commitment to greener services. Gaston’s Tree Service provides mulch from its tree services in Gainesville. At the same time, Gaston Tree Debris Recycling serves most of the state, bringing in a large majority of mulch from emergency response operations and turning it into the superior mulch you expect from Gaston.
Our mulch varieties are:
- Hardwood
- Cypress
- Pine
Consistent
When mulch is bagged from the same trees, it gives your landscape a more uniform appearance. Big box store mulch can be from many different tree batches, leading to inconsistency. In addition, it may contain mold, construction debris, or hazardous chemicals.
Fresher Equals Better Soil Enrichment
Mulch from the big box stores can be months old by the time you purchase it. How long bagged mulch lasts depends on how carefully it’s bagged and processed. If it becomes wet, either due to holes in the bag or being left outside at a local landscaping store, it can begin to rot and even attract unwanted pests.
Bulk mulch bought from Gaston is fresher and has been recently ground, cured, and dyed. Fresh quality mulch feeds your landscape’s soil, increasing nourishing fungi and bacteria. Fungi spores use carbon as energy and to grow. These microbes take nitrogen from the mulch and air and absorb it into the mulch’s cells, keeping the nitrogen close to the plant and tree roots to provide maximum benefit.
Expertise
The Gaston family of companies has been around for over 40 years, and we are passionate about helping Gainesville yards look their best. When you go to a big box store, mulch is not the only thing employees work with, so their ability to give you expert guidance on which mulch for sale will be best for you is going to be limited. At Gaston, we know what types of mulch will work best for the needs of your unique landscape, and we are committed to your satisfaction.
We have worked with a diverse range of clients to find the best mulch for their needs—including Disney! Brian Koehler of Southeast Spreading Services did the landscaping for Disney properties with Gaston’s mulch and described our high-quality mulch as “the finest gold mulch available.”
