Certified Playground Mulch / Wheelchair Mulch
Our Certified Playground Mulch, also known as Engineered Wood Fiber, is designed specifically for playground safety. It has passed tests for impact resistance, compaction, and wheelchair accessibility, meeting or exceeding the standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). This mulch ensures a safe, accessible surface under and around play structures.
For more information on playground safety, refer to the Consumer Product Safety Commissionโs Public Playground Safety Handbook.
Premium Organic Landscape Mulch
Owen Tree Service produces Premium Organic Landscape Mulch from recycled local trees. This virgin wood fiber mulch is double or triple ground and aged to achieve a rich, chocolate brown color. It is easy to spread and gives landscapes a well-manicured appearance, making it a favorite among landscapers. As an added benefit, it enriches the soil by providing essential nutrients through natural decomposition.
Why import mulch when local, native mulch from recycled trees offers superior benefits? Call us today to enhance your landscape with the best mulch available.
Benefits of Landscape Mulch
Using organic landscape mulch provides numerous benefits for trees, shrubs, and garden beds, including:
- Protecting tree trunks from damage by lawn equipment
- Retaining soil moisture
- Suppressing weed growth
- Regulating soil temperature to promote healthy root growth
Most landscape soils are compacted and lack the fertility of natural woodland soils. Grass-dominated areas, in particular, can alter soil pH and microbial balance, making it less suitable for woody plants. Our Premium Organic Landscape Mulch mimics the natural forest floor, helping to lower soil pH and introducing beneficial microorganisms that support tree and shrub health.
Unlike shredded bark mulch or wood chips from exotic trees, our mulch is specifically designed to meet the needs of your landscape, ensuring optimal growth and vitality for your plants.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Andrew Lapeer
I hired Owen to do a tree removal and some pruning for me. Extremely happy with the care they used on my property. I am also using them for my lawn fertilization this year. Arborist seems very knowledgeable.
Tonia Burns
Responsiveness, Professionalism
Called about having a 17ft tree placed in our yard. Received a call back from Trish you was incredibly gracious with her time and information. Unfortunately, trees that are over 6ft can't be planted by them. However, Trish gave me more than enough info to be confident about having a tree of that sized planted. I'd definitely call and use them for any other future services.
Rick Stomps
Responsiveness, Punctuality, Quality, Value
Owen Tree Service did an outstanding job. The crew trimmed up the treeline and removed several. Did a great job of cleanup too. Extremely professional, informative, helpful & friendly. Thanks so much to the great crew - Ron, Skip, Tim & Doug ... you were incredible. Thanks so much. I'll tell folks about you! (BTW - the guys deserve a few extra $$)

Punctuality, Quality, Professionalism, Value
We are very happy with the work they did. We had a large birch tree trimmed that had power lines on each side. There were 4 workers and they worked well together as a team to get the job done. They cleaned up the yard around the tree and did a professional job. They also asked us if we liked it before they left. We would highly recommend Owen Tree Service!
