Utah homeowners know that spring is a prime time to refresh the yard—and nothing makes an instant impact like a fresh layer of colored decorative mulch. Whether you’re prepping your garden beds or revamping the front yard, colored mulch delivers beauty and protection all season long.

Here’s why now is the perfect time to lay it down—and how to do it right.

Why Choose Colored Mulch in Spring?

Unlike plain bark or compost, colored mulch offers lasting color and weed protection—which means your landscape will look great from early spring to late fall.

Benefits of using colored mulch in spring landscaping:

• Enhances curb appeal with rich color contrast
• Helps retain soil moisture during spring winds
• Protects roots from early-season temperature swings
• Suppresses weeds and minimizes maintenance
• Defines borders and beds with crisp, clean lines
