Details
Premium red oak sourced from Southern logging mills, triple-processed and then screened for a consistent texture. The extra screening step removes oversize pieces, so what lands in the beds looks refined.
Deeper and more uniform in color than our standard Premium Hardwood, and holds its color longer because Southern red oak weathers slowly. The higher price reflects both the sourcing and the extra processing — it's the pick for projects where the mulch itself is part of the visual statement.
