Bark mulch is a natural by-product of timber. Made from natural tree bark, such as pine, it is screened to an average chip size of 8-35mm. This provides uniform coverage for design features such as walkways or seating areas while suppressing weeds. It also offers additional benefits for improving soil health, structure, and moisture retention.
Measure the area(s) where you’re installing bark mulch. Input these measurements into our handy bark mulch calculator to determine how many bulk bags you require. Typically, one George Davies’ bulk bag or bark mulch covers:
How deep your bark mulch needs to be depends on its purpose. For example, decorative use of bark mulch for flowerbeds or pathways, a depth of 50-75mm should be plenty. If you’re using bark mulch to suppress weeds, a thicker layer of 100mm would be better.
Once laid, bark mulch needs very little attention. We recommend checking it while going about other gardening tasks to remove any weeds (if there are any) and level out any disturbed areas.
Typically, bark mulch will stay in place for 12-24 months. At this point, it will have naturally decomposed, and new bark will need to be added.
