Landscape and Agricultural Products

Direct from the Sawmill

Natural. Safe.
Ontario made.

Townsend Lumber loves being a part of your exciting new DIY projects! That’s why we offer 100% locally sourced mulch, woodchips, sawdust and shavings straight from our sawmill. All of our products are made from clean and natural sawmill materials, making them a fantastic option for gardens or other landscaping projects you have on the go.

And because our products come straight from our facility, you’re always sure to get the best price. For organizations or municipalities that require wood covering products, we can provide FSC certification.

Mulch Makes a Difference

  • Permanent beds only need to be refreshed/top dressed occasionally
  • 3-6″ layer of mulch is sufficient for gardens
  • Reducing mulch depth around plant stems reduces the chance of heat damage
  • Reduces moisture evaporation, helping to conserve water
  • Reduces splashing from rain or irrigation, thereby reducing spread of disease
  • Blocks germination of many weed seeds

Sold by the Cubic Yard

  • 4″ deep = approx. 81 square feet per cubic yard
  • 3″ deep = approx. 108 square feet per cubic yard
  • 2″ deep = approx. 162 square feet per cubic yard
