High Quality Mulch for Gardens

Our Bark Mulch has a range of uses, improving the look of your green space whilst adding valuable nutrients to your soil.

This type of Garden Mulch not only enhances the aesthetic of your outdoor area but also supports healthier plants.

Composted bark, when mixed into the soil, can help improve drainage in heavy clay soils and increase water retention in sandy soils. It also acts as an organic mulch, reducing evaporation from the soil surface and helping to keep the soil moist for longer periods, which can be especially beneficial during dry spells.

A layer of mulch for garden beds can block sunlight from reaching weed seeds, preventing them from germinating and growing. It will also insulate the soil, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, which protects plant roots from temperature extremes.

For larger projects, you can also purchase mulch in bulk, making it an efficient and cost-effective solution for landscaping needs.

FAQs

By laying down a layer of bark, you can prevent weed development by creating a barrier that blocks any sunlight. However, to maximise the efficiency of bark mulch, it is essential that any existing weeds be removed before laying down your bark. It’s also critical to use a thick coating of bark, ideally 2-3 inches deep, and to inspect and renew the bark layer on a regular basis.
