Wood Chips & Bark Mulch

How to Use Wood Chips or Bark Mulch in Your Garden

Wood chips and bark mulch are very easy to work with and light to lift and handle. The best way to use these types of mulch is by first laying down a weed barrier. Lay down weed fabric to cover the entire area, creating challenging conditions for weeds. Then, spread the mulch on top, ideally in a layer of at least 10 cm. The thicker the layer, the better it blocks weeds and the more durable it will be. We strongly recommend setting up your projects properly for maximum effectiveness and long-lasting results. It’s remarkably easy to beautify your garden with these natural, attractive products, and our customers are consistently delighted with both the process and results.

So, rule number one is to choose the color of ground cover you want and determine the size of the area you need to cover. At a 10 cm layer, 1 m³ (1000 liters) covers 10 m².

We prioritize selling and supplying 100% natural and sustainable products, with no added dyes or environmentally harmful chemicals.

Benefits of Wood Chips and Bark Mulch

These products are excellent for weed control and creating a beautiful garden. When you lay wood chips or bark mulch in a thick layer as recommended, it keeps the soil underneath cool and prevents sunlight from encouraging weed growth. It’s a very easy way to keep your garden areas looking great for years without constant weeding. Additionally, wood chips are often used by schools and institutions as safe ground cover for playgrounds and swing areas. It’s also popular at festivals during rainy periods to prevent muddy grounds—a fantastic, 100% eco-friendly solution.

For other weed control options, we also offer pine bark and our stone dust for placement between pavers.

How to Set Up a Bed with Wood Chips or Bark Mulch

It’s important to clear the soil of weeds before laying mulch. Once this is done, you may choose to lay weed fabric over the soil. Then, simply spread about 10 cm of wood chips or bark mulch on top of the soil or fabric. This creates a beautiful, low-maintenance bed that will last for years.

Should You Choose Wood Chips or Bark Mulch?

First, decide whether you prefer the golden heartwood color offered in our wood chips or the darker bark color of our bark mulch. Wood chips lose some of their initial color over time, becoming more subdued, yet they still look attractive. By raking the wood chips occasionally, you can reveal fresh wood on the top layer, bringing back its vibrant look. Bark mulch, on the other hand, retains its dark color for many years and decomposes over about 5-10 years. Wood chips are more uniform in size and color, while bark mulch has a more varied, natural texture and color. Choosing between them is a matter of preference, though many customers favor bark mulch for its natural appearance.

Why is it important for wood chips and bark mulch to be FSC and PEFC certified?

When we purchase products like wood chips and bark mulch, we feel a responsibility to protect the world we live in today and in the future. FSC and PEFC certified wood chips and bark mulch ensure that the products come from sustainable forests. The PEFC certification program monitors and ensures responsible forest management. The FSC certification program makes sure that no more trees are harvested than can be naturally replaced. This is crucial for people, and also for protecting animal and plant life.
