Frequently Asked Questions
How often should garden mulch be replaced?
Most gardens benefit from a fresh layer of mulch every twelve to eighteen months. Sun exposure, rainfall and the type of mulch all influence how quickly it breaks down. Organic mulches decompose naturally over time, adding nutrients to the soil, so they may need topping up more regularly. A good rule is to check the depth each season. If the layer has thinned to less than five centimetres, adding more can help keep moisture in and reduce weed growth.
What type of mulch is best for reducing weeds?
Mulches that create a dense, even cover tend to offer the best weed suppression. Options like bark mulch, hardwood mulch or sugar cane mulch work well because they block sunlight from reaching weed seeds. Keeping the mulch layer between five and ten centimetres deep helps prevent weeds pushing through. It also helps to remove existing weeds before mulching so the layer can do its job properly.
Does mulch help soil retain moisture during hot weather?
Yes. Mulch acts as a protective barrier that slows evaporation, which is especially helpful during Queensland’s hotter months. By covering the soil, it shields the surface from direct sunlight and helps maintain a more stable temperature around plant roots. This means the soil stays cooler and holds moisture for longer, reducing the need for frequent watering. Using mulch in garden beds, around trees or in exposed areas can make a noticeable difference in dry conditions.

The right mulch does more than tidy up a garden. It protects plants from heat, improves soil structure and helps your outdoor areas cope with the varied conditions across Central Queensland. Our blends suit both new gardens and established landscapes, giving you a simple way to boost plant health without extra maintenance. Each option is produced for consistency so you can rely on the texture, colour and performance across every load.
