FAQs

How long will the bark last?

The lifespan of the bark depends on environmental factors. It typically lasts for 1-2 years before needing replenishment.

Is the bark safe for children?

Yes, it is BS EN 1177 certified for play areas, ensuring it meets safety standards for impact absorption.

How much bark do I need?

Calculate the area you want to cover (length x width) and multiply by the desired depth (in feet) to determine the volume needed. A cubic meter of bark covers approximately 10 square meters at a depth of 10 cm.

Can I use this bark around vegetables?

Yes, but avoid direct contact with edible plants to prevent any potential issues. Maintain a small gap around the plant stems.

How do I store the remaining bark?

Store any unused bark in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent it from drying out.

Does the bark attract pests?

Generally, pine bark does not attract pests. However, it's always wise to monitor the area for any unusual activity.

Troubleshooting

Weeds are growing through the bark.

Ensure the bark layer is thick enough (at least 2 inches). Remove any existing weeds before applying the bark. Consider a weed membrane underneath the bark for persistent weed problems.

Bark is washing away during heavy rain.

Ensure the application area is level. Consider using a landscape fabric underneath the bark to help hold it in place. Add more bark to the area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
