Mulch (Bark)
Applications & Uses
Bark Mulch
Bark mulch is a natural ground cover made from the shredded or chipped outer bark of trees, typically pine, cedar, or hardwoods. This organic material is prized for its ability to insulate soil, retain moisture, and suppress weed growth, making it a popular choice for landscaping and gardening projects.
The bark attribute gives this mulch a fibrous, textured appearance that helps it stay in place on slopes and in windy areas, reducing erosion and maintenance. Bark mulch is commonly used in residential flower beds, around trees and shrubs, and in commercial landscapes for its attractive, natural look and functional benefits. It gradually decomposes, enriching the soil with nutrients over time. While bark mulch is excellent for moisture retention and weed control, it may need periodic replenishing as it breaks down. Overall, it's a versatile, eco-friendly option for enhancing both the health and appearance of outdoor spaces.
