Bibra Lake Soils

Mulch Perth

Cover the ground, keep the water in.

We stock composted mulches, wood chips, pine bark and colour-injected blends, sold loose by the cubic metre from our Bibra Lake bays. Mulch holds moisture in the soil, keeps weeds down and stops the sun cooking your beds. Which one you want comes down to the look you are after and how long you need it to hold its colour.

Sold loose by the cubic metre, in bulka bags, or by the trailer load. Collect it seven days a week or have it delivered across Perth's southern suburbs.

How much mulch do you need?

Work it out before you drive down

Length by width by depth gives you cubic metres. Work it out before you come down and you will not be back tomorrow for a second load.

It is an estimate. Uneven ground and how firmly it settles both change what you actually use, so round up rather than down.

Shape of area
Length · 4mWidth · 1.2m
You need0.4 m³

That is about half a trailer load. Order a touch over rather than under, a second trip costs more than the extra scoop.

We load by the scoop: one scoop is about 0.33 m³, three make a cubic metre, and a scoop and a half is 0.5 m³.

How to choose a mulch

Four things that actually decide it

  • What the bed is for

    A vegetable bed and a front-garden feature want different things. Composted mulches break down into the soil and feed it. Chips and barks sit on top longer and are the better choice where you want the surface to stay put.

  • Whether the colour has to last

    Untreated wood greys off in a Perth summer. The colour-injected mulches are made with UV resistance for exactly that reason, so if the finish is the point, that is the group to look at.

  • The sand underneath

    Most of the southern suburbs sit on sand that dries out fast. A layer of mulch is the cheapest thing you can do about it, it slows evaporation, keeps the root zone cooler and stops the surface crusting over.

  • How you are getting it home

    Mulch is light for its volume, so a trailer goes further than people expect. Work out the cubic metres first, because that decides whether it is a trailer load, a bulka bag or a truck.

Mulch FAQs

What we get asked at the counter

  • Which mulch is best for keeping weeds down?

    Pine Bark forms a dense barrier that suppresses weeds without herbicide, and Natural Wood Chips are made for the same job. Both sit on the surface longer than a composted mulch, which is what makes them effective, a mulch that breaks down quickly stops blocking light sooner.

  • What is the difference between a composted mulch and a wood chip?

    A composted mulch, Forest Floor, Jungle, Tropical Plus, has already broken down, so it feeds the soil as it works in. Wood chips and barks sit on top for longer and are better where you want the surface to stay looking the same. Neither is better; they are for different jobs.

  • Will coloured mulch fade in the Perth sun?

    Premium Black and Premium Red are colour injected with high UV resistance, which is exactly why we stock them, ordinary wood chips go grey over a summer here. Woodland Brown is UV-stable too and holds its tone.

  • How much mulch do I need?

    Multiply the bed's length by its width by the depth you want, all in metres, and the answer is cubic metres. The calculator on this page does it for you. Bring that number to the counter and we will tell you whether it is a trailer load, a bulka bag or a delivery.

  • Can I collect mulch myself?

    Yes. The yard is open seven days and the loader puts it straight into your trailer or ute. If you do not have a trailer you can borrow one of ours free for two hours, yard to your place, no tip trips, and first in best dressed as we do not take bookings.

  • Can mulch be delivered?

    Yes, across Perth's southern suburbs, seven days. What matters for the quote is the address, how much you need and whether the truck can get in, mention tight driveways, low branches or side access when you ask. Confirm the current delivery cost when you order.

  • Is your mulch available in bulka bags?

    Yes. Every mulch on this page can be supplied in a bulka bag, roughly a cubic metre each. You will need a crane, Hiab or forklift at your end to lift one off the truck; if you have no way to unload it, a tipper delivery is simpler.

  • Which mulch saves the most water?

    The composted, finer grades hold moisture best, Tropical Plus, Jungle and Forest Floor, because composted organic matter behaves like a sponge at the surface. Sugar Cane is the pick on a bed running drippers, because it stays open when wet instead of matting and shedding the water sideways. Worth saying plainly: none of these carries a water-wise certification. The Water Corporation Waterwise programs endorse businesses and specialists, not products, so any mulch advertised as water-wise certified is using the phrase loosely.
