The native Louisiana mulch choice. Cypress oils resist rot and insects better than imported wood. Stays in place through rain and holds moisture all season.
Cypress is the native Louisiana choice. The natural oils set it apart from every other mulch we carry. Here's where it goes.
Residential Landscaping
The most requested mulch for Lake Charles homes. The golden-brown color looks natural, and the cypress oils mean you're not bagging ants and termites in with your mulch every spring.
Foundation Plantings
Lay it around foundation shrubs and it does double duty. Holds moisture and adds insect resistance right at the base of your house. I'd use cypress over hardwood any time the beds touch the foundation.
Garden Pathways
Compacts lightly underfoot without packing solid. Doesn't wash into the yard when we get those 3-inch rainstorms. Stays where you put it.
Perennial Beds
4 inches over perennial beds keeps roots from baking in the July heat. In winter it slows the freeze-thaw cycles that heave roots out of the ground.
Playground Areas
Softer than wood chips and naturally resistant to insects. Better call for backyard play sets than untreated wood fiber. No splinters, no bugs.
Commercial Properties
HOA communities in Prien and office parks off Prien Lake Road order cypress for the golden color and clean look it holds through the year.

Cypress mulch is the natural choice for homeowners who don't want dyed products in their yard. It breaks down slower than hardwood, resists insects naturally, and holds moisture in beds through the hottest months. That's why it outsells most natural mulch options in Calcasieu Parish.
The shredded texture mats together and stays put during heavy rain. It won't float out of beds the way pine bark or lightweight mulch does. One application covers you for a full growing season.
We deliver bulk cypress mulch by the cubic yard. No bagging, no pallets. Just material on the ground, ready to spread. Call us with your square footage and we'll tell you how many yards you need.
