Mulch Info

Brush and Hardwood Mulch

Wood mulch is comprised of wood that is ground in large commercial grinders. 

  • Brush mulch generally contains a mix of hard and soft woods and can contain limbs and leaves.

  • Hardwood mulch generally is comprised of just tree trunks, and does not contain any leaves.

Various different shades available for purchase.

Compost

Compost is an organic soil amendment that looks and feels like soil. Mecklenburg County produces compost that we have “branded” as Queen City Compost ™ from leaves, ground up trees and organic yard waste. Both loose bulk and bagged compost are available for purchase.
