Shredded Redwood

Redwood is one of the most distinctive mulch materials available, and once you've seen it in a landscape, it's easy to understand why it develops such a loyal following. Shredded redwood mulch brings a deep, warm reddish-brown tone that few other organic materials can match, paired with natural properties that make it a genuinely high-performing choice for beds, borders, and slopes. Crystal Landscape Supplies carries it in bulk by the cubic yard, available for pickup at our Loveland yard or delivered directly to your site.

What Redwood Offers That Other Mulches Don't

The appeal of shredded redwood bark starts with the color, a rich, russet-red tone that reads as warm and premium in almost any landscape setting. It complements earthy flagstone, warm-toned brick, red and orange flowering plants, and dark green foliage particularly well. Unlike dyed red mulches, the color in redwood bark is entirely natural, meaning it won't bleed into surrounding soil during rain or fade to a flat, washed-out tone within a single season.

Beyond appearance, redwood contains natural tannins and oils that give it a meaningful edge in durability. It resists decomposition more slowly than standard softwood mulches, so it tends to retain its structure and color longer before needing to be refreshed. The shredded texture also knits together as it settles, much like cedar, creating a mat that stays put through wind and Colorado's heavy afternoon storms better than loose chip or nugget styles.

Performance in the Garden and Landscape

As with any quality organic mulch, shredded redwood bark delivers across the core functional categories:
 
  • Retains soil moisture to reduce watering frequency
  • Suppresses weed germination by blocking light at the soil surface
  • Moderates soil temperature through Colorado's warm summers and hard freezes
  • Breaks down gradually, contributing organic matter back into the soil
  • Resists displacement on slopes and exposed areas due to its interlocking fiber texture

A 2- to 3-inch layer is recommended for most garden and landscaping applications. Use our calculate how much mulch you need tool to get an accurate cubic yardage estimate before ordering.
