Landscapers and other end-users now have a convenient tool to help them calculate the amount of landscape mulch needed for completing a specific job. Developed by Colorbiotics, an innovative manufacturer of landscape coating products, the Mulch Tools app is an industry first that includes a feature which allows users to preview different colored mulch selections to determine how each would work with the façade and color of the residence.
“The Mulch Tools calculator is easy to use and is especially helpful for the do-it-yourselfer who is unfamiliar with how to calculate the amount of mulch they should buy for a specific landscaping project,” says Kent Rotert, director of marketing and sales for Colorbiotics. “The app is also very easy to use. All the user needs to know is the length and width of the area where the mulch will be applied and the Mulch Tools app does the rest.”
In addition to the mulch calculator, Mulch Tools also includes a handy interactive feature that allows users to visualize the possibilities available with colored mulch. The user can choose the exterior façade / fabrication of their home and then apply various colored mulch options to the landscaped surroundings. This provides a visual representation of how the finished landscape will appear.
“The ability to actually visualize how different colors will look in their own landscaping situation is helpful for homeowners and do-it-yourselfers who may be experiencing some anxiety with selecting colored mulch,” Rotert says. “The user simply selects the exterior façade of the home and then substitutes different colors of mulch to determine which would look best for the landscape. It allows people who don’t have the gift of visualization to get an idea of how a specific color of mulch will look in a landscaping application.”
Users of an iPhone can download the Mulch Tools app from the iTunes store free of charge or by visiting the Colorbiotics website at www.colorbiotics.com.
