Black cedar mulch?
Comments (5)I am glad to read you decided to skip the dyed mulch. I am always a bit mistrustful of dyed mulches, both because of the dye itself and also since dye can be used to hide wood from construction debris, etc mixed into the mulch. (Not that it always is, but I can't tell.) IME, if the mulch fades, stir it up a bit since the lower layers keep their color better. Alternatively, just add a very thin new layer. If you haven't yet spread it, putting a layer of cardboard or several layers of newspaper under the mulch helps block light and prevent weeds in a new bed. The under layer will decompose relatively quickly, but will help while the mulch is knitting together....See MoreCedar Idetification and Maintenance

Comments (2)Replace the dead trees, 15 dead out of 65 planted is not great, but not the worst either. The soil may be too rich for conifers, try ordinary native soil for the replacement trees, don't disturb the other trees that have taken. Moreover, don't fertilize new transplants, it would have the undesired effect of stimulating the growth of foliage, whereas they should instead grow the roots they lost when they were dug up. Note that these large transplants have to continue their lives with as little as 5% of their roots. Good luck!...See MoreDeck Spindles, paint black or cedar?
Comments (2)I like the wood colour on the other side of the house on your fencing, what about spindles that colour. It will look good in my opinion. You have enough darker colours. You don't want to many wood colours....See Moreglen3a
