Give Your Garden a Fresh, Clean Look with Black Mulch
Are you looking to enhance your landscape’s appeal while caring for your plants? Black mulch from JBS Express McKinney is the perfect choice. This deep, rich mulch enhances garden beds, borders, and tree rings, offering smart benefits such as weed control, soil insulation, and moisture retention.
What Is Black Mulch?
Black mulch is made from shredded bark or wood that has been dyed dark for a bold, polished look. Unlike natural mulch, it adds dramatic contrast against green leaves, colorful flowers, and neatly edged paths.
At JBS Express McKinney, our mulch is crafted for quality—clean, uniform, and safe for pets and families. You can purchase it in bulk, by bag, or by cartload, and it will be delivered to your doorstep in McKinney, Frisco, Plano, Allen, Richardson, Fort Worth, Denton, or Irving.
Why Choose Black Mulch for Your Landscape?
Let’s dive into some of our most popular options, each with a unique character:
Stunning Color Contrast
The dark color makes your yard pop. It highlights greenery and plant textures, giving your garden a clean and dramatic look.
Weed Control & Soil Health
A good layer of mulch blocks sunlight, helping suppress weed growth. As it breaks down, it adds nutrients into the soil, teaming up with topsoil to support healthy plant life.
Moisture Management
Acting like a sponge, black mulch helps retain soil moisture during hot months. It provides insulation during cooler weather—supporting plant roots and conserving water.
Protects Against Erosion
Around new or sloped beds, mulch helps keep the soil in place and prevents erosion, especially during heavy rainfall.
Natural Insulation
It keeps plant roots cooler in summer and warmer in winter—a natural shield for your perennials, shrubs, and trees.
Great Ways to Use Black Mulch

- Foundations & shrubs: Use around house foundations and planting beds for a polished appearance and plant protection.
- Tree rings: Highlight trees while keeping grass and weeds away from trunks.
