The usage of ornamental bark chippings is a budget and maintenance-friendly way to cover unattractive soil. They are good for many uses within the garden and larger landscape projects, like a decorative finish to borders, flower beds and other planted areas. The bark chips can also be used as a border bark mulch covering, offering protection from frost and helping to retain moisture. Our bark chips have a 5-35 millimetre particle size and are sourced from mixed conifer with a large amount of spruce and pine.

 

Hardwood chippings are suitable for all kinds of landscape gardening uses and an ideal material for many applications.

They are an impact-resistant surface material and very easy to implement and maintain.
