Why Blackstar Gravel?

The Benefits of Blackstar Gravel

More than just good looks—black mulch delivers serious performance for your landscape

🎨

Stunning Contrast

Deep black color creates dramatic contrast against green plants, colorful flowers, and light-colored stones. Makes your landscaping look professionally designed.

💧

Moisture Retention

Reduces water evaporation by up to 70%. Your plants stay hydrated longer, meaning less watering and lower water bills during hot Texas summers.

🌡️

Temperature Control

Insulates soil from extreme heat and cold. Keeps roots cool in summer and protected in winter, promoting healthier plant growth year-round.

🚫

Weed Suppression

A 3-4 inch layer blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds, dramatically reducing weed growth. Spend less time pulling weeds, more time enjoying your yard.

🌱

Soil Enrichment

As it decomposes, black mulch adds organic matter to your soil, improving structure and fertility. It's a slow-release soil conditioner.

⏰

Long-Lasting Color

Our color-enhanced black mulch holds its rich color for 12+ months, unlike cheap mulch that fades to gray in weeks. One application lasts the whole season.

Applications

Perfect Uses for Blackstar Gravel

Versatile enough for any landscaping project around your home

🌸

Flower Beds

The dark backdrop makes flowers absolutely pop. Whether you have roses, petunias, or native Texas wildflowers, black mulch creates a gallery-worthy display.

🌳

Tree Rings

Create professional-looking tree rings that protect roots, retain moisture, and prevent lawn mower damage. Extend 3-4 feet from the trunk for best results.

🏠

Foundation Beds

Perfect for beds against your home. The dark color complements any house color while protecting foundation plantings and improving curb appeal.

🚶

Garden Pathways

Create soft, cushioned pathways through your garden. Black mulch defines walkways beautifully and is comfortable underfoot.

🏡

Playground Areas

Soft landing surface for play areas. Our double-shredded mulch is free of large chunks and provides cushioning for active kids.

Shrub Borders

Define borders between lawn and shrub beds. Creates clean lines and reduces trimming work by keeping grass from creeping into beds.

Expert Advice

Pro Tips for Blackstar Gravel

Get the most out of your mulch with these professional landscaping tips

💡 Highlight with Lighting

Low-voltage landscape lights make the mica flecks sparkle dramatically at night. Position lights to graze the surface at an angle.

💡 Keep It Clean

Leaf debris and dust show prominently on black gravel. Use in areas away from deciduous trees or plan for regular blowing/raking.

💡 Complement Colors

Pairs beautifully with white, silver, green, and bold accent colors. Avoid tan or brown plants that won't provide enough contrast.

💡 Use as Accent

Blackstar gravel is most effective as an accent material. Combine with other textures and materials for visual interest.
