What Is Bark Mulch?

Bark mulch is a natural material made from the bark of trees, typically from softwoods such as spruce, pine or fir. It's shredded or chipped into varying sizes to suit different garden applications. As it decomposes slowly, bark mulch enriches your soil with organic matter, promoting healthy plant growth over time.

Our bulk bags of bark mulch offer a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to cover larger areas, making them ideal for home gardens, landscaped public spaces, and commercial projects alike.

Key Benefits of Using Bark Mulch in the Garden

• Weed Suppression – A generous layer of mulch prevents sunlight from reaching weed seeds, reducing their ability to germinate and grow.
• Moisture Retention – Bark mulch helps soil retain moisture, which is particularly beneficial during dry spells.
• Soil Insulation – It acts as a natural insulator, protecting plant roots from extreme temperatures in both summer and winter.
• Aesthetic Appeal – For those seeking a stylish, low-maintenance garden, decorative bark offers a clean, natural finish that complements both modern and traditional outdoor spaces.
• Low Maintenance – Once laid, bark mulch requires little upkeep, saving time and effort while keeping your garden looking fresh and tidy.

How to Use Bark Mulch in Your Garden

Using bark chippings or bark mulch is straightforward and can be done in just a few steps:

Prepare the Area

Clear the area of weeds, stones, and any debris. If needed, lay a weed membrane for added protection against regrowth.

Spread the Mulch

Pour the bark mulch evenly across the soil surface. For best results, apply a layer around 5–7.5 cm (2–3 inches) thick.

Around Plants

When applying mulch around trees and shrubs, leave a small gap around the base to prevent excess moisture from causing rot.

Pathways and Play Areas

For paths or children's play zones, use a deeper layer (up to 10 cm) to provide cushioning and coverage.

Top-Up as Needed

Over time, natural decomposition will reduce the volume of mulch as it breaks down in to your topsoil. Simply top up annually or as needed to maintain an even, protective layer.
