Pine Bark Mulch, 3" to 6" Size Range

Pine bark mulch in a 3" to 6" size range is a natural landscaping material made from the outer bark of pine trees. The large, chunky pieces are produced by shredding and screening pine bark, resulting in a durable, long-lasting mulch that resists compaction and decomposition better than finer mulches.

The generous 3" to 6" size range offers excellent ground coverage and is especially effective at suppressing weeds, retaining soil moisture, and insulating plant roots. Its coarse texture allows for superior drainage, making it ideal for garden beds, tree rings, and commercial landscapes where longevity and low maintenance are priorities. While the larger pieces are less likely to blow away or wash out during heavy rain, they may not be suitable for pathways or play areas where a smoother surface is desired. Pine bark mulch also adds a natural, rustic appearance to any landscape, enhancing curb appeal while supporting healthy plant growth.
