Premium Landscaping Bark vs. Play Grade Bark

Premium Landscape Bark

Premium Landscape Bark is ideal for decorative general landscaping, garden borders, pathways & weed suppression. This landscape-specific bark will not rot or decompose as quickly as your lower-grade bark such as play-grade bark or basic mulch and tree shavings.

You can use Premium Landscape Bark for decorative purposes, but its also a practical options that acts like Mulch. Once placed on top of soil beds, it helps to retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth. It further helps isolate the soil and protect the roots of your plants from cold, freezing weather and hot, dry summer conditions.

Play Grade Bark

Play Grade Park is the more budget friendly option. It's suitable for use in a play areas for children as it provides a softer landing. Overall, it helps protect areas of your garden from general wear and tear.
