Brown goes with everything. That's why it outsells every other color we carry.
Residential Landscaping
Brown won't clash with your brick, siding, shutters, or grass color. That's why it ends up in more front yards in Calcasieu Parish than any other mulch.
Flower Beds
Mixed beds with azaleas, knockout roses, liriope, and mondo grass all sit fine against brown. You can plant anything and it still looks right.
Foundation Plantings
Foundation beds frame every house differently. Brown works on red brick, painted siding, and stucco equally well. No second-guessing.
HOA Communities
HOAs in Prien and Westlake often require brown mulch by name in their deed restrictions. Keeps the neighborhood looking uniform.
Backyard Landscapes
Use the same brown front and back and the whole property reads connected. No one notices the mulch, which is exactly the point.
Commercial Properties
Banks, retail centers, and restaurants spec brown because it photographs well and doesn't fade to an obvious color.
