Advantages

Fafard Natural Cedar Mulch helps keep flowerbeds cleaner and easier to maintain. By covering the soil with a uniform layer, it limits the light available to weeds, which reduces their germination and development. This helps reduce manual weeding and maintain a neat appearance for longer. For residential gardens, hedges, tree surrounds, and property borders, this mulch offers a simple solution to enhance aesthetics while reducing repetitive tasks.

Its moisture retention capability is a significant advantage for Quebec gardens, especially during hot and dry periods. By reducing evaporation, this natural cedar mulch helps the soil stay moist longer after rain or watering. Plants thus benefit from a more stable root environment, which can reduce watering frequency. This protection is particularly useful for perennials, shrubs, hedges, and newly planted trees, which benefit from cooler soil less exposed to rapid temperature variations.

Natural cedar also offers an excellent aesthetic finish. Its texture highlights plantings, clearly defines flowerbed contours, and gives a clean appearance to hedges, trees, and shrubs. It easily integrates into residential landscape styles, whether modern, natural, or classic. As a biodegradable mulch, it gradually decomposes and helps enrich the soil with organic matter over time. Its natural cedar scent is also appreciated in gardens and adds a pleasant touch to outdoor spaces around the home.

Usage Tips

Apply Fafard Natural Cedar Mulch on clean soil, previously weeded and slightly leveled. Spread a layer of approximately 5 cm (2 in) around plants, in flowerbeds, at the base of trees, and along hedges. This thickness provides good soil protection while allowing water to penetrate. Uniform application helps achieve a clean appearance, limit weeds, and maintain more stable moisture around the roots.

Leave a space of 2.5 cm (about 1 to 2 in) around the base of trees and shrubs to avoid direct contact with the bark. This practice helps prevent excess moisture against the trunk and reduces the risk of bark degradation. To estimate the amount needed, a 2 cu. ft. bag covers approximately 1.1 m² (12 sq. ft.) at a thickness of 5 cm. A 3 cu. ft. bag covers approximately 1.7 m² (18 sq. ft.) at the same thickness. One cubic yard covers approximately 15 m² (162 sq. ft.) at a thickness of 5 cm.
