{"product_id":"srw-mulch-stabilizer","title":"SRW Mulch Stabilizer","description":"\u003cp\u003eSRW Mulch Stabilizer™ locks fresh mulch in place and keeps it looking that way for the rest of the season. The water-based polymer dries clear, forms a flexible bond around the chips, and helps stop wash-outs from rain and irrigation — so the mulch you spread Friday is still where you put it on Monday. As a bonus it darkens and revives mulch color, slows fading, and helps suppress weed germination on the bed surface. Two sizes: 1 gallon for residential beds and touch-ups, 5 gallons for crews running larger commercial installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Crews Stabilize Mulch\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocks mulch in place:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stops wash-outs from heavy rain, irrigation, and downspout splash — especially on slopes and around drains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDries clear, flexible bond:\u003c\/strong\u003e No glossy plastic-coated look; the bonded layer flexes with seasonal expansion instead of cracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor enhancement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Darkens and revives faded mulch — saves a top-dressing pass mid-season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduces fading:\u003c\/strong\u003e UV-resistant binder keeps the color richer longer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelps prevent weed growth:\u003c\/strong\u003e The crusted surface slows weed seed contact and germination on the bed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to apply:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spray on with a heavy-duty construction sprayer; no special equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow VOC, water-based:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cleans up with water; safe around plantings when applied as directed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCoverage \u0026amp; Application\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 200 sq ft per gallon (single coat).
