Dyed Mulch

Dyed mulch adds an interesting design element to landscapes. Made in the same painstaking manner as our natural mulch, we then apply dye made from carbon ash and iron—all-natural, non-toxic, and safe for the earth and any plants, animals, or people it touches.

Our dye, kiln drying, and lengthy curing process produce mulch with long-lasting color, extending replacement time.

ORDER MULCH

We have been using Van der Linde Recycling for many years for container rentals and gravel. Everyone has always been extremely helpful, and the drivers have always been very professional. It can be difficult to get larger trucks back to our home, but they make it look easy. We recently ordered two large truckloads of mulch. When the original mulch that we ordered wasn’t available, the team at van der Linde was able to offer us an alternative. The mulch is very high quality, and perfect for our application. – Tom Hurtt
