Mulch & Ground Covers
Forest Floor is a division of Maltby Company that began recycling tree logs, limbs and branches into mulch long before recycling became essential in environmental protection. During the early years our saw mill recycled lumber from tree removals and land clearing to sell pallets throughout Southern MA. We have spent years refining our processes to create high-quality mulch and ground covers that set the industry standard.
Mulching is one of the most important things you can do to maintain the health and beauty of your plants and soil. It helps prevent weeds, improves moisture retention, moderates fluctuation in soil temperature and enhances fertility. Mulch can also provide a desirable contrast of color and texture to enhance gardens and plantings.
We offer a variety of products from completely organic leaf mulch to color-enhanced mulch and high quality topsoil and compost.
