The Woodland Screened Bark is an essential landscaping material for garden enthusiasts looking to enhance the aesthetic appeal of their borders while improving soil health. Designed primarily for gardeners and professional landscapers, this product offers the key benefit of natural weed suppression and moisture retention throughout the seasons. While it provides excellent coverage and frost protection, users should note that the organic nature of the material requires periodic topping up as it slowly decomposes over time.

While it is safe for landscaping, it is generally recommended to use dedicated compost or mulch for vegetable patches to ensure soil nutrient balance.
This depends on the total square footage of your area. Generally, an 80L bag will cover approximately 1.5 to 2 square meters at a 50mm depth.
The product is made of natural conifer bark, but pets should not ingest mulch. It is generally safe for garden environments.
Bark mulches can be slightly acidic as they break down, which is often beneficial for many garden shrubs and perennials.
The mulch is produced from mixed conifer bark with a high percentage of spruce.
The bark is organic and will naturally break down into the soil over time; simply top up the area with a fresh layer.
Ensure the mulch was applied at a sufficient depth of at least 50mm and that the original weed roots were fully removed before application.
Before applying the bark, ensure the area is clear of existing weeds and debris to maximize the effectiveness of the mulch. You may choose to lay a landscape fabric down first for extreme weed prevention, though applying directly to the soil is standard for adding organic matter back into the ground. No special maintenance is required, though you should monitor the depth of the layer annually. If the bark layer becomes thin, simply rake the existing mulch and add a fresh 25mm layer to maintain the aesthetic and functional benefits.
