Retail Bark Mulch

Outdoor World of New England has made Mulch since 1989 and we are highly committed to producing quality ground products for our customers. We offer the same high quality mulch in our retail stores as in our wholesale business. Since we produce our own mulch, we're able to pass the savings on to our customers.

Our mulches include Aged Hemlock, a small natural dark mulch with a beautiful burgundy tone, Light Blend, a top-quality grind made from Pine, Fir and Spruce, Wicked Dark, a color-enhanced aged softwood blend and Triple Grind. Mulch blends returning from last year include Antique Red, Dark Pine, New England Blend, Antique Blend, Hemlock and Kid Kushion.

*The raw materials used in our colorants are from naturally-occurring resources found in the earth’s surface. The colorants are specially formulated to be nontoxic to plants and animals. While we make every effort to get the color-enhanced products to set up prior to shipping, it is nearly impossible for the colorant to fully cure while within a pile. Therefore, we recommend that color-enhanced mulches not be spread during heavy rains.
