Decorative Bark 1,460L — Weed-Suppressing Mulch

Product Information

Why choose decorative bark?

Decorative bark gives beds and borders a clean, natural finish while helping to suppress weeds and reduce evaporation, so soil stays moist for longer. It’s ideal around shrubs, perennials, trees and along garden paths and play areas.

Key benefits

• Weed suppression – blocks light to reduce weed growth
• Moisture saving – slows surface evaporation, especially in summer
• Temperature buffer – insulates roots against heat and cold snaps
• Tidy, natural look – smart finish for beds, borders and pathways
• Low maintenance – long-lasting chips break down slowly

Typical chip size
Mixed bark chip pieces (generally medium grade suitable for beds, borders and paths). Texture and colour vary naturally.

How to use

• Beds & borders: Remove weeds, water the soil, then spread bark to 5–7 cm depth. Keep clear of soft stems.
• Around trees & shrubs: Apply 7–10 cm out to the drip line; top up annually as required.
• Paths & play areas: Lay a 5–10 cm layer over a firm base; use edging to keep chips in place.

Coverage guide
Rule of thumb: 1,000 L ≈ 20 m² at 5 cm.
For 1,460 L: at 5 cm depth ≈ 29.2 m².
