Have you heard of recycled glass mulch?

Published

on

Landscaping professionals looking to minimize their carbon footprint are increasingly featuring recycled materials in their designs. Glass mulch is one such product and it’s sustainable, functional and beautiful.

This increasingly popular type of mulch is made from broken glass that’s tumbled to remove sharp edges. Until recently, it was mostly applied in small amounts around potted plants. However, it’s now being used in larger quantities for landscape design. The effects can be stunning, as glass mulch adds color and sparkle that are impossible to achieve with other types of mulch.

The benefits of recycled glass mulch extend beyond being esthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. In fact, this mulch type also offers superior drainage for your plants. Plus, this long lasting material will never need to be replaced because glass doesn’t decompose or blow away in the wind.

If your garden could use a little shimmer and you want to do your part for the environment, recycled glass mulch could be just what you’re looking for.
