Cypress Mulch Blend helps regulate soil temperature, retains moisture, and stays where you put it so this could make the perfect habitat for snakes.
Mulch that is too thick provides a hiding place for snakes and there are some species of snakes that live in the ground or right at the soil surface. These snakes feed off of earthworms, slugs, snails and insects that live in the soil, so they can be left alone under the mulch.
Cypress Mulch Blend is an all-natural shredded cypress, which does not contain any added chemicals or fillers. It aids in regulating soil temperature, retaining moisture, and protecting tender plant roots from varying weather conditions. Cypress mulch is believed to be neutral, so it should not change the pH level of the soil as it decomposes. You may want to discuss this with the Master Gardener at your local county extension office, for more a more information.
It is true that you can get some products we currently carry at local brick and mortar stores for a lesser price than what we are priced at. We carry the products because of high customer demand. Brick and mortar stores require you to use your time and gas to drive to the store, your time to search for the product and purchase it and then your gas money and time to drive home. When you order with us it takes but a moment to place your order and within a few days your order shows up at your door, hassle free. In cases like this you must decide how valuable your time is and how much gas you would use to drive back and forth to determine which is the better deal for you. Also some of our customers are rurally located and do not have local stores to purchase from.
