Why choose Pro-Grow Bark Chips?

• Weed suppression and soil protection – a dense mulch layer helps reduce competing weeds and shields roots from temperature swings and sun exposure.
• Moisture retention – proven to help retain soil moisture, helping plants establish and thrive during dry spells.
• Durability and low maintenance – hard-wearing bark chips stay in place, resisting movement and spreading, so you spend less time tidying.
• Beautiful, natural finish – a mixed bark blend adds texture and colour to pathways, beds and borders, creating instant appeal.
• Economical coverage – one 70L bag covers approximately 1.4 m² at a depth of 5 cm, making it easy to plan larger areas with consistent results.
• Easy to handle – bagged for convenient transport and application, suitable for both hobby gardeners and professional landscapers.
• Environmentally responsible – sourced from sustainable UK sources, aligning your garden with greener practices.

Ideal uses and practical applications

• Mulching around established shrubs, perennials and trees to conserve moisture and protect roots during hot spells.
• Defining and enhancing pathways, edible gardens, and ornamental borders with a tidy, low-profile appearance.
• Top-dressing containers and garden beds to suppress weeds between plantings and reduce maintenance tasks.

How to apply and care for your bark chips

1. Prepare the area by removing loose weeds and leveling the soil or gravel surface where you’ll lay the mulch.
2. Spread a 5 cm layer for optimal weed suppression and moisture retention. A 70L bag covers about 1.4 m² at this depth.
3. Avoid piling mulch directly against stems or trunk bases; leave a small gap to prevent moisture buildup and rot.
4. Rake to even out the surface and blend with existing material for a natural look.
5. Refresh the mulch annually or as needed to maintain depth and performance, especially in high-traffic areas or sunny exposures.
6. Store bags in a shaded, dry spot if not using them right away to preserve texture and prevent premature decomposition.

Who is this product for?

Perfect for homeowners, keen gardeners, and landscaping enthusiasts who want a low-maintenance, aesthetically pleasing mulch that also protects plant roots and conserves moisture. It’s equally suited to small urban gardens, cottage plots, and larger borders where a durable, natural mulch is preferred over synthetic ground coverings.

What sets it apart from alternatives

Unlike single-source mulch blends, Pro-Grow Bark Chips are a premium mix that balances texture and colour to create a richer garden bedscape. The 70L packaging is designed for predictable coverage and easy handling, helping you achieve a cohesive look across multiple areas without guesswork. And because the chips are responsibly sourced in the UK, you’re supporting sustainable forestry practices while enjoying a durable, long-lasting mulch that reduces ongoing garden maintenance.
