Bark Chippings

For the perfect low maintenance finish to large garden beds and borders choose Westland Landscape Bark. It is made of tough chunky bark chips (approximately 30-50mm in size) for maximum coverage. Once in place these will suppress weeds reducing the need for frequent weeding and cutting down weeding time in the garden enabling gardeners to concentrate on the creative side of gardening. It's also idea for creating rustic and natural looking pathways through woodland and other garden areas.

Uses: Use as a decorative mulch for beds, borders, paths, woodlands and fruit gardens.

Application Rate: Apply a generous layer as a mulch: 5cm (2in) or more is ideal. 50L of bark will cover about 1m2 and should last for up to 3 years.

Why use Westland Landscape Bark? Westland Landscape Bark is a specially selected grade of screened large bark chips (approximately 30-50mm - size can vary) that can be used on flowerbeds and borders, trees and fruit bushes. It provides a decorative mulch for beds & borders and is ideal for natural, rustic looking paths/pathways through the garden. The larger chips persist for longer in the garden reducing the frequency of topping up. The bark provides a comfort zone for plant roots protecting them from extreme summer sun and freezing temperatures. Plus they create a barrier layer between the sun and the soil, holding the soil moisture in the soil for longer.

Green Credentials Westland Landscape Bark is produced from sustainable conifer plantations that are grown for the timber industry and are certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC).

How do I use it? For use on existing beds & borders, always prepare the area first by removing all weeds and debris. Make sure that the soil is fully wet before applying, if it isn't either water the area thoroughly or apply after a heavy rainstorm. Spread a layer of bark.
