Using Mulch
The use of Cypress Mulch is prohibited under Chapter 18-a, the Landscape Code of Miami-Dade County, under the jurisdiction of the Planning and Regulation Department. The code reference is 18(a) .7-15(G)(3) and it states the following:
-
Cypress Mulch shall not be used because its harvest degrades cypress wetlands. This only applies to new development.
-
We do not recommend the use of red dyed mulch, which looks like redwood, as it may contain pressure-treated lumber chips.
-
We do recommend pine bark as it allows water to flow through to the roots, whereas Cypress Mulch fuses together with fungus and doesn't allow water to get through.
