Moss Rock FAQ's
Here are some common questions about our Moss Rock Mulch.
Moss Rock is made from recycled wood waste sourced from manufacturers' packaging, mulched and screened to approximately 12mm
No, despite the name, Moss Rock is a golden-brown wood chip mulch, not a stone or rock product.
It's a golden-brown wood chip with an irregular, mixed texture, similar in style to other wood chip mulches but on a finer, 12mm screened size.
It's commonly used to control weed growth, add a decorative finish to garden beds, and help conserve water by reducing soil evaporation.
Use our Volume Calculator to estimate quantity based on your bed's length, width, and desired depth.
For optimal performance and appearance, moss rock should be freshened up with a top layer every 1-3 years.
- Controls Weed Growth: Helps suppress weeds in garden beds.
- Decorative Finish: Its golden-brown wood chip look adds a warm, natural finish to garden beds.
- Water Conservation: Helps reduce evaporation, supporting water conservation in the garden.
- Recycled Material: Made from recycled wood waste, giving manufacturing packaging offcuts a second life.
Product Disclaimer
Please note: While we aim for consistency, slight colour variations from online images may occur due to the natural and recycled materials used. For the most accurate colour representation, we recommend visiting one of our stores before placing a large order.
- 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 build up.
- Water it in. Give the area a good drink after mulching to settle the layer and start pushing moisture down to the roots.
- Natural Weathering: As an undyed wood chip, Moss Rock will gradually weather and grey slightly with sun exposure over time, rather than fading from a colour.
- Keeping it Looking Fresh: A light rake or turn brings the richer underlying colour back to the surface.
- Even Coverage: Topping up thin or patchy spots keeps garden beds looking full and consistent.
- Product Variation: Being a recycled material, some natural variation in colour and chip size is expected batch to batch.
- 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.
