Details
The middle ground between natural hardwood and Dyed Black. Same double-processed hardwood base, dyed to a rich, consistent medium brown that holds its color through the season — natural brown mulch fades to gray by late summer, this one doesn't.
Good choice when you want the polished look of a dyed mulch without the drama of black. Plan your install around the weather: the dye needs 24 hours of dry time to set, so do not apply before rain. Dye will temporaraly stain concrete.
