Bark Chippings – Eco-Friendly – Garden Mulching

Product Overview

Enhance your garden with high-quality bark chippings, supplied in a convenient 800kg bulk bag. Unlike traditional woodchip, these chippings are derived from the outer bark layer of trees, providing distinct properties for both appearance and performance.

Screened and chipped to a nominal size of 10-40mm, these pieces offer a uniform, fibrous texture that serves both decorative and functional purposes. When spread over soil, they create a natural ground cover that suppresses weeds, conserves moisture, and insulates plant roots from temperature extremes.
