Description

Dark Medium Bark is one of the more commonly used and inexpensive barks. It is a fir and hemlock bark, ground fairly coarse, and is a dark reddish-brown in color. It has a similar texture and consistency as Medium Bark, but has been aged to have a darker color. This material does have a tendency to have some large log pieces and larger chunks of wood in it than the other barks, so if you do not want to pull them out while laying it you should opt for a different bark.



Using bark mulch as a ground cover helps suppress weed growth and retain soil moisture. Typical installation involves a layer of bark 2 - 4" thick that will need to be replenished about once a year. Be sure when laying bark to pull the material back from the stalks of your shrubs and plants to allow air flow and prevent rotting.

Common Uses:

• Flower Beds
• Groundcover
• Mulch
