For maximum benefit of your colored mulch, please observe these guidelines:Dump Bulk Mulch Onto a Tarp: Freshly produced mulches may be subject to colorant wash-off, particularly when exposed to heavy rains. The colorant that washes off can stain driveways or yards. It is recommended that bulk mulches be placed on tarpaulin to avoid any discoloration to the ground surface.
Wet Surface Before and After: If no tarpaulin is available, we recommend you wet down the driveway or lawn before dumping the mulch and wash the surface off with soap and water after applying the mulch if there is any visible residue.
Avoid Rainy Days: Try to schedule your delivery and application on a day when heavy rains are not expected.
Wear Old Clothing: Wear long sleeves and gloves during application of the mulch.
Turn The Mulch Over Once: At mid-season, turn the mulch over with a rake to expose a different side to the sun and elements. This will freshen up the look of the mulch without requiring additional materials.
