Tree Mulch FAQs
Here are some common questions about our Tree Mulch.
Tree Mulch is produced from tree lopping and pruning, it's a genuine by-product of tree work rather than a specially graded product.
Because it comes from tree lopping and pruning rather than a controlled grading process, Tree Mulch is non-uniform by nature and will vary from load to load in colour, texture, and particle size. This is expected and not a quality issue.
Mulch is generally laid 50-100mm thick for garden beds.
Yes, Tree mulch is the cheapest mulch Daisy's, a perfect option for those who want to mulch their garden on a budget.
Use our Volume Calculator to estimate quantity based on your bed's length, width, and desired depth.
We recommend tree mulch to be topped up every 1-2 years so your garden receives the full benefit that tree mulch has to offer.
- Suppresses Weed Growth: Helps reduce weed growth in garden beds.
- Retains Soil Moisture: Reduces evaporation, helping plants stay hydrated for longer between waterings.
- Regulates Soil Temperature: Moderates soil temperature fluctuations to optimise plant growth.
- Increases Soil Organic Matter: Boosts organic matter content in your soil over time.

- Prepare the area: Clear existing weeds and debris. Lay a weed mat first for maximum suppression.
- Apply at the right depth: Spread to 50–100 mm. Too thin and weeds can break through; too thick restricts water penetration.
- Keep clear of plant stems: Leave a 50 mm gap between mulch and plant stems or tree trunks to prevent moisture buildup.
- Water it in. Give the area a good drink after mulching to settle the layer and start pushing moisture down to the roots.
- Natural Variation: Tree Mulch will vary from load to load and over time, as it's a direct by-product of tree lopping and pruning rather than a graded, uniform mulch.
- Keeping it Looking Fresh: A light rake or turn each season lifts the surface layer and brings the richer underlying colour back to the top.
- Topping Up: As with any organic mulch, a top-up as it breaks down keeps beds looking full; exact appearance after topping up may differ slightly from the original load.
- Even Coverage: Topping up thin or patchy spots as needed helps keep the bed looking consistent and full.
- Wear gloves when handling the mulch.
- Avoid contact with eyes and skin, and prevent inhalation of dust and vapours.
- Store away from open flames.
- Keep dry before and after installation.
