What is KARBON® Leaf Mulch?

Karbon® Leaf Mulch is the registered trademark name we use to identify our mulch.

While leaf mulch has been used for many years by professional landscapers and gardeners it is now coming into its own as a mulch with many merits.

Much of the product on the wholesale market today is manufactured from brush and clearing debris, while initially having a good appearance can lose color in the heat of the summer. Coarser wood mulch also takes a long time to break down leaving you with the added cost of removing some or all of it in the spring.

Karbon® Leaf Mulch consists of nothing but leaves which are ground up and then through a natural process, heated to 140 degrees or more to kill any dormant weed seeds. Water is added to activate the tannins and accelerate the darkening process. The leaves are then screened to achieve a consistent ½” minus product.

KARBON® Leaf Mulch Benefits

The purpose of using any mulch is to beautify, retain moisture and help to cool the soil during the hot summer months. Karbon® leaf Mulch does all of this and more.

Karbon® maintains a rich brown color all season with very little fading. Its ability to absorb moisture much like a sponge reduces watering needs.

Karbon® is a perfect soil amendment as over the season it slowly breaks down and is incorporated into the soil adding organic matter and nutrients.

Karbon® significantly reduces the possibility of spot fires caused by cigarettes or other igniters.

Karbon® resists erosion as well if not better than wood mulch.

Karbon® eliminates costly spring cleanup and disposal of old mulch.

Karbon® gives you the look of top quality bark mulch at less than ½ the cost.
