I love black mulch, I think it makes the landscape pop as the color from your plants just gets framed beautifully, you just end up with such wonderful contrast when you start with black and add shades of green and bright hues from flowers to it.The downside is it has taken me years and i mean years to find a good quality black mulch (local landscape company makes it near me). They use a ton of dye in it and it holds it's color for a good time. Unfortunately as you know nothing stays beautiful forever. Sooner or later that gorgeous black turns grey and eventually the brown wood underneath start to poke though.I have actually used this colorant before. Several years ago I bought some brown and it worked really well. So knowing that the brown was a great product I went ahead and ordered black to cover up my graying mulch.Overall works fantastic, it takes a few minutes to do but the results? just like fresh mulch. I do recommend fluffing the mulch as it tends to get a hard layer on the top that way when you spray it looks nice and loose and fresh. I use a cheap sprayer that I bought here on amazon for under $15. I will point out that you should NEVER put your sprayer away without cleaning it out first. otherwise your going to be throwing your sprayer out.Cleanup is easy just warm water.As I get older I find myself not wanting to shovel mulch every year. So with this I can do it every other year and enjoy my spring just a bit more.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recently came across a product from colorback. It was twice teh cost of this but covered 4 times teh area. Bought that trying to save money as always and was just terribly disappointed. First off the Enviro Color product is THICK it coats EVERYTHING, leaves, grass clippings pine cones whatever it paints them all and hides them. The colorback product did not do anything to leaves and barely coated mulch. In fact they state to reapply if needed, well with teh results I got with that product you would have to reapply 3-4 times to get teh coverage I get with teh Enviorcolor product.So yes it's more expensive but man does it work way better!

I have over 1600 Sq Foot of Mulch in the yard. I like to have that dark rich new mulch color, so I replace it each year,,costing me hundreds of dollars. Mid Summer my new batch of mulch had already faded so I thought I would look for a less expensive maintenance option. I came across the Enviro Color product on Amazon. The reviews sounded positive, so I thought I would give it a shot. I purchased one container of the 2400 Sq. Ft. Black Forest Mulch Color. I checked the rain schedule as instructed...looked clear, so I applied the mulch color to my entire 1600 Square Foot Mulch beds. I used a $15.00 2 Gal. sprayer from Lowes which worked great, it has the wide spray nozzle and the Enviro covered beautifully. I had to rinse the nozzle once, as it will clog a bit, but the color went on easily and evenly. (Just be cautious of over-spraying concrete walkways.) I did use a two direction spray technique just to make sure it covered evenly. Took me about 2 hours and $25.00 worth of color to get Dark, Brand New looking Mulch....Wow looks great!!! It looks even better than my neighbor who laid his Mulch 5 days prior as you can see in one of the photos.Oh by the way, it rained 4 Hours later. I was worried my efforts were wasted...but even after the hard rain the Mulch color was unchanged from the time I sprayed it. Great product I will use again and continue to save hundreds of dollars and back breaking mulch replacement.

I have used this dye previously with very good results. Opened a brand new bottle, broke the seal and the dye concentrate is green (the color grass) -- not black. Called company, everything rolls over to voicemail. Sent a message via their website. Very disappointing. Lack of customer service is irritating. Should not go to voicemail hell when there is a problem.follow-up: contacted manufacture via their website on Friday, left a message regarding the problem. Received an e-mail saying a replacement was being shipped. The correct dye was delivered today (Wednesday).Not sure the cause of the hiccup. I like the product and it works very well. I received the correct product within 5 day -- I need to give them points for that. Changing my rating from 1 star to 4 stars.
