This rich brown mulch is composed of dyed brown wood particles which are mostly 1” to 2” long with finer material in between. It is made from either recycled wood such as old pallets or virgin wood. The brown mulch tends to hold its color fairly well for a season and because the brown is closer in color to the untreated mulch it is harder to tell it is faded as compared to the black and red colored mulches. Using brown colored mulch still maintains a natural look but also takes advantage of the long lasting color advantages of using color enhanced mulches.
