MULCHES

  • Landscaped garden with stone pathway, potted plants, mulch, and ornamental shrubs against a wooden fence backdrop.

    Fir Bark Mulch

    Fir bark mulch has a warm red-brown colour and a textured finish for garden beds and borders. Made from Douglas fir bark, it breaks down gradually and can help retain soil moisture and suppress weed germination. Check the existing mulch layer before topping up, and keep bark clear of plant stems and tree trunks.

  • A bark-covered garden path bordered by green foliage and pink flowers.

    Cedar Mulch

    Cedar mulch offers a red-to-brown finish for flower beds and planted borders. Like other bark mulches, it forms a surface cover that can help conserve soil moisture and reduce weed germination. Consider its colour and texture alongside your planting and stonework, and check the condition of the existing layer before adding more.

  • Landscaped garden with stepping stones, mulch, pebbles, shrubs, and trees, bordered by rocks and a black fence, surrounded by forest.

    Dark Compost Mulch

    Dark compost mulch has a fine texture and deep brown colour for top-dressing garden beds. Compost adds organic matter to the soil, while bark provides a coarser surface cover. Choose according to the planting and soil conditions. Compost can also support germinating weed seeds, so ongoing weeding may still be needed.

  • Black Mondo grass in a garden setting with green foliage, red flowers, and gray stones.

    Lava Rock Mulch

    Lava rock is an inorganic mulch that provides a lasting decorative surface. Unlike bark or compost, it does not decompose into organic matter. It may suit areas where a permanent mineral finish is wanted. Material choice should account for the planting, site conditions and future maintenance; water savings vary with the garden and irrigation practices.

The right mulch should suit both your planting and the character of your garden. Okada Earthscape installs fir bark, cedar, dark compost and lava rock for Vancouver landscapes. Tell us about the area you want to refresh, the existing surface and access to the garden so we can discuss suitable options for your project.

How do I choose a mulch?

Start with the planting, soil conditions and appearance you want. Fir bark and cedar provide a textured organic cover. Dark compost has a finer finish and adds organic matter. Lava rock creates a lasting mineral surface. The best choice depends on the garden and how it will be maintained.
