Bark Mulch

High-quality bark mulch made from 100% natural materials, free from environmentally harmful dyes. Read more about the sustainability of our bark mulch further down the page.

Bark mulch is a completely natural and decorative product that effectively keeps weeds at bay in flower beds and under hedges. The mulch is sourced from the bark/outer layer of Danish trees, enriching the soil and adding beauty to garden surfaces.

It’s important to do the job right the first time to ensure lasting results. We recommend applying bark mulch in a layer of at least 10 cm or more. This creates a long-lasting, effective barrier against weeds. A thick layer of bark mulch keeps the soil cool, as sunlight cannot penetrate and warm the ground below. This prevents weed growth and makes the area maintenance-free.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bark Mulch

Which bark mulch is the best?

Different types of bark mulch are available, but the best usually comes from Sitka spruce, Douglas fir, and larch trees. These types are gentle on plants, offer good weed control, and are highly durable. High-quality bark mulch that also looks attractive will beautifully complement your garden.

How much bark mulch should I use?

It's crucial to lay down a sufficient amount the first time to ensure a long-lasting result. We recommend at least a 10 cm layer of bark mulch. This will ensure durability and highly effective weed suppression. With this layer, the ground underneath remains cool since sunlight doesn’t reach the soil, preventing weed growth and reducing maintenance.

What size are the pieces in the bark mulch?

Bark mulch pieces vary in size. Deliveries may include pieces from 5–10 cm to even up to 50 cm, with most in between. The large pieces, often noticeable in wet periods, will break down once they dry. Generally, the pieces are coarse, which prevents rapid decomposition. For smaller brownish pieces, consider pine bark.

Is bark mulch safe for animals?

Bark mulch is safe for animals, posing no harm to dogs or cats. We've received questions about this from customers, but there’s no cause for concern.

Is bark mulch effective against weeds?

Bark mulch is excellent for suppressing weeds and maintaining the area around hedges and beds. By keeping the soil cool, weeds cannot sprout, making it a fantastic product for a low-maintenance and attractive garden.

Bark Mulch vs. Wood Chips

Both bark mulch and wood chips are long-lasting and effective against weeds, making your garden look presentable. The main difference lies in appearance: for a light-colored, golden look, choose wood chips; for a rich brown hue, opt for bark mulch.

Bark Mulch Around Hedges

Bark mulch is ideal for use around hedges such as privet and beech. While it doesn’t fertilize, it enhances the area’s appearance and effectively controls weeds.
