Oak Bark Mulch

Oak bark mulch is a premium organic ground cover made from the shredded bark of oak trees. This natural material is valued for its durability and rich, earthy appearance, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping projects.

The oak attribute means this mulch breaks down more slowly than softer wood mulches, providing long-lasting coverage and weed suppression. Its coarse texture helps retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and prevent erosion, while also adding nutrients to the soil as it decomposes. Oak bark mulch is commonly used in garden beds, around trees and shrubs, and along pathways. It is especially favored for ornamental landscapes due to its attractive look and minimal need for frequent replenishment. While it may be heavier to spread than lighter mulches, its longevity and performance make it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option.
