A mulch that is natural in color is aged over time to its current color, without any extra color enrichment. Natural mulches typically range in shades of lighter to darker brown. Over time, natural mulches eventually take on a grey hue as they decompose and are exposed to the sun.
A color enriched mulch has non-toxic, naturally derived colorant added to it, giving it a richer, more brilliant color. Our color enriched mulches are available in light brown, dark brown, black, and red. Once proper drying time is completed, color enriched mulches will hold their color and are more resistant to fading.
