Below we have listed each mulch and their specific benefits, with area covered per yard.
Pine Mulch
Pine mulch is the number one mulch for playgrounds, due to its softer base and non splintering chips. When Pine mulch is ran through a chipper twice, non-splintering pine mulch is created making it safe and long lasting, for use in the landscape and playgrounds everywhere.Playground Mulch
Play Safe Playground Mulch is used by Daycare centers, Parks, play grounds and walkways. Play safe playground mulch should be installed at 6” plus thickness, to achieve a base that is very safe for all ages.When DreamScapes installs play safe mulch for home owners or Day care centers, we first start with geo textile fabric 100 lb. thickness laid on the bare ground prior to the play safe mulch installation. 2nd we install the play safe playground mulch, raking it in as we go until we reach 6”-8” base of play safe mulch. Six inch thick coverage would be 54 sq feet per cubic yard.
Dyed Mulches
Dyed Mulches are mostly created from cured hardwood mulch that is then dyed with low moisture dyes. There are many colors of mulch; listed below are a few that are available at DreamScapes Landscape supply.Red Mulch
Red Mulch is created from mostly pine or blond colored woods which helps show the red color better. DreamScapes uses red mulch where the beds have lots of green to help pop that red color, we don’t advise to use red Mulch in open unplanted areas, the color is too bright and will look very commercial.1 yard of any type of mulch will spread 162 sq ft. 2” thick, if applying for a touch up you can go 324 sq ft 1” thick per yard of mulch
Dark Walnut Mulch

The Dark Brown Mulch is a very rich brown color that holds its color for as long as 2 years, vs. 3 months for pine straws.
