There are many different types of mulch. It's not uncommon for people in WI to use bark, stones or bean shells as mulch.

Stone is heavier and will not be washed out by storms. Stone mulch can be expensive. And stone is also messy.
Mulching around around backflow enclosures and backflow insulation can be especially important because these areas are often very moist and prone to water damage or mulch that could become damaged.
Another option to use is Marble flakes. Marble chunks can be really expensive.
Granite shake that has weathered to the point of breaking into little pieces and residue like particles. Granite can be a wide variety of colors. Grantie is tough to beat as a multi-purpose mulch. It is sold for cheap in most areas.
Make Your Own Rock

It doesn't take a pro to paint one either. Don't forget the polymer glaze coat as well. It doesn't take a genius to make one of these rocks for the yard or garden.
