1" Bark Mulch

1" bark mulch is a natural ground cover made from the shredded or chipped outer bark of trees, typically sourced from hardwood or softwood species. The 1-inch size range offers a balanced texture-large enough to stay in place during heavy rain or wind, yet fine enough to provide even coverage and a tidy appearance.

This bark mulch is ideal for both residential and commercial landscaping projects, including garden beds, tree rings, pathways, and playgrounds. The bark attribute helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and insulate plant roots, promoting healthier growth. Its size makes it less likely to compact, ensuring good airflow to the soil while providing a clean, finished look. While bark mulch is not suitable for high-traffic surfaces, it excels as a decorative and functional ground cover for most landscape applications.
