Bark Mulch
Fir/Hemlock Bark Mulch is a natural reddish-brown that we make in-house from local BC bark. It helps to suppress weeds and contrasts well with plants, providing a natural look to landscaping. We screen to a 1” minus size that can be used in all types of shrub and planting beds.
Aged Bark Mulch is a dark brown-black mulch that is finely screened to a 3/8” minus size after composting for a dark, rich, soil appearance in landscaped beds. This mulch adds organic matter that enriches garden soil beds. Rake it regularly to maintain the dark look. Best choice for landscape beds that need a little added nutrition.
Bark Mulch recommendations:
- To aid in weed control, initially apply mulch 3-4” deep
- For just cosmetic looks, apply 2″ deep
- It is best to apply mulch in spring or fall before heavy weed growth periods.
- Leave space around the base of your plants – don’t crowd the plant base with mulch.
- Rake mulch 1-2 times per year between applications.
- Reapply every other year to maintain proper depth, weed supression and a fresh, clean appearance.
