TREE BARK AS GROUND COVER

Types of tree bark

If you want to add decorative tree bark to your garden, Nijst Natuursteen offers a choice of two types of pine or wood. We have Sylvester tree bark with its light brown colour that is available in two sizes (1-2 cm and 2-4 cm). This type of bark only needs supplementing after 3 to 4 years. You can also choose Maritime tree bark with its reddish brown colour that is available in three sizes (1-2 cm, 2-4 cm and 4-8 cm). The Maritime wood chips have a longer life span, lasting for about 6 or 7 years. With regard to price-quality and durability, both types of tree bark are good.

Why lay down tree bark in your garden?

Wood chips have quite a few interesting characteristics. Putting bark between your plants will reduce the growth of weeds. Tree bark in the garden also helps the soil retain moisture, preventing the subsoil from drying out too quickly and, therefore, protecting the plants. Additionally, the wood chips deteriorate slowly and, therefore, ensure that the microorganisms in the soil are fed over a longer period of time. If you use tree bark as a ground cover, you protect the soil against frost and erosion. With these strong qualities, tree bark in the garden is a real asset.
