Here’s the Science Behind Your Success

Every Terra-Mulch® product is created with expertise in what makes plants grow and unequaled experience in what makes you successful. Our Thermally Refined™ wood fiber is a prime example.

Terra-Mulch Wood Fiber

Terra-Mulch’s Thermally Refined wood fiber holds 13.5 times its weight in water and improves yield. Maximum water-holding capacity is essential for successful seed germination and plant establishment, and maximum yield is a big help to your bottom line.

Competitors’ Wood Fiber

Some of our competitors use atmospherically refined wood fiber that results in lower water holding capacity and lower yield. No wonder it takes so many extra bales of their mulch to equal the performance of Terra-Mulch.

Thermally Refined Wood Fiber—It Simply Performs Better

The process that produces Thermally Refined wood fiber involves using heat and pressure to break wood down into more fibrous material with greater surface area, resulting in mulch that:

• Reduces the number of bales you buy and load.
• Reduces callbacks due to washouts.
• Reduces callbacks due to poor turf establishment.
• Eliminates hose clogs from the coarse fiber found in competitive mulches.
• Lowers your total project cost.
