Types of mulch products typically used on construction sites
Link to this table
| Mulch type | Description | Application Method |
|---|---|---|
| Straw, hay, or other grasses | Wheat, oat, or pine straw; rolled or baled pasture grasses also used in some cases | Hand scattering for small areas; chopper/blower used for larger areas, sometimes with co-applied tackifying agent to promote adhesion |
| Wood chips, bark, sawdust | Waste product from sawmills and other timber harvest and processing operations | Hand scattering or mechanized spreader |
| Rock | Can include all classes of aggregate, riprap, and large stone; used for permanent erosion protection | Placement by hand or equipment (e.g., track-hoe, skidder, front-end loader) |
| Hydraulically applied mulches | Bonded fiber matrix products, including those manufactured with natural and/or synthetic fibers, cellulose, or other materials | Spray application via high-pressure pumping from the mixing tank, through a hose and nozzle apparatus |
