Bark Chippings are a common sight in UK gardens, whether you're enhancing your garden beds, creating pathways, or adding a touch of elegance to your landscaping, bark chippings provide the ideal solution. Garden bark chippings contain a rich, earthy tone, which can complement any environment, seamlessly blending with the natural landscape while adding depth and texture to your outdoor oasis.

But it's not just about looks –bark chips can also deliver unparalleled performance. Acting as a natural insulator, they help regulate soil temperature, keeping your plants healthy and thriving year-round. Plus, bark chippings for gardens have superior moisture retention properties that can reduce the need for frequent watering, saving you time and effort in maintenance.

What are bark chippings?

Bark Chippings are made from the bark of common trees that have been shredded into large chunks. As a cost-effective option, they are often used as a “mulch” to create a layer on top of soil. Wood bark chippings naturally absorb moisture which helps to reduce the growth of weeds and alleviate flooding.

Garden bark chippings can also help to make your outdoor space look attractive and interesting whilst being soft and safe enough for spaces that will be used by small children or pets, including play areas.

How to lay bark chippings

For a seamless transformation of grassy areas with bark chippings, begin by clearing the grass layer and levelling the ground. Optionally, lay down a permeable landscaping fabric for added weed control. Then, evenly spread the bark chippings to your desired depth.

This simple process ensures a clean, even surface that enhances the natural beauty of your outdoor space, creating a durable and visually appealing landscape with minimal effort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are bark chippings better than wood chippings?
If you're creating paths, you can use bark, but you'll most likely need to replace or add to it every year. However, softwood chips, which are essentially inexpensive wood chips, last considerably longer. They are good for making walkways since they take longer to decay.
Can you put bark directly onto soil?
You can use decorative bark to mulch your garden. This will assist to maintain soil moisture, control weeds, and regulate soil temperature. When the bark decomposes, it releases a variety of nutrients into the soil, increasing its fertility.
How long do bark chippings last?
We'd recommend that you replenish bark every 2-3 years to maintain its full benefits. The coarser the bark, the longer it should last.
