The right landscape mulch helps garden beds stay healthy, look finished and require less maintenance during gardening season.
The best mulch for garden beds is usually an organic type such as cedar mulch or natural wood chips. The top benefits of mulch include weed control, soil moisture retention, improves soil health and curb appeal enhancement.
Mulch is typically applied 2–3 inches deep. One 2 cu. ft. bag covers about 8–10 sq. ft. at that depth. Measure your garden bed, calculate the total square footage and check the bag label for coverage. Buying a little extra helps with touch‑ups later.
Cedar mulch: Naturally resistant to insects and decay; long‑lasting and aromatic
Organic mulch: Natural bark and wood blends that improve soil over time
Wood chips: Durable and great for pathways or large beds
Coloured mulch: Dyed wood mulch for decorative landscaping
For residential yards, dark brown or black mulch blend in best and create contrast and highlights plants. Red mulch adds bold colour, while natural tones blend easily into traditional landscapes.
Shredded cedar mulch, bark‑based organic mulch, and fine wood chips perform best when applied evenly at the right depth. Using landscape fabric can help with weed suppression but may limit water and nutrient flow.
Organic mulch breaks down slowly, adding nutrients and improving soil structure—making it ideal for long‑term garden health.
Canadian Tire offers a wide range of mulch and accessories for residential landscaping, available online and in store. Top brands include Scotts, Golfgreen and more.
