Westland Landscape Bark is perfect for creating low maintenance beds & borders. It reduces the need for frequent weeding and therefore the amount of time spent on weeding. It can also be used to create rustic natural looking pathways through woodland and large borders. Additionally, the bark is produced from responsible conifer plantations which are grown for the timber industry and are certified by Forest Stewardship Council standards (FSC ®).

• 30-50mm large chips for maximum coverage
• Helps suppress weed growth
• Improves moisture retention around plants

Top Tip: For best results, laying  a perforated plastic or fabric  membrane under the bark mulch  is advisable to further reduce
weed problems where perennial  weeds occur. Cut an X shaped  hole in the membrane and plant  shrubs and flowers into planting hole underneath the  membrane. Spread the bark chips back under the plant  canopy to cover the membrane.
