Bark Chippings - How to Choose The Right Bark

 

As a gardener, there are many different types of bark chippings to choose from which are suited for different purposes and requirements. Depending on what those requirements are it may be possible to find bark chippings that are uniquely produced for a particular purpose or bark chippings that can be used for a variety of applications.

Playground Bark Chippings

For children’s play areas, playgrounds or outdoor activity zones, specialised play bark chippings can be purchased that can be used to ensure safety standards are met and to help protect children from falling of playground furniture. Play bark chippings are generally smaller in diameter, non-toxic and chemical free. They give children enough confidence to explore their playground without taking away the necessary sense of adventure. Softening falls, trips and bumps allow parents to feel confident to let their children play on their own and gain some valuable independence.

Decorative Bark Chippings

For gardeners looking to enhance the visual appeal of parts of their garden, decorative bark chippings can be used which are produced from natural bark that retains a golden colour. These and play grade bark chippings are usually the more expensive types, but they are especially designed for a specific purpose.

Landscaping Bark Chippings

For a general purpose product, landscaping bark chippings are not only cheaper than play or decorative types, they can be used perfectly as a garden mulch as well as provide uniformity to beds and borders. These bark chippings can be used over large areas to help suppress weeds as well as retain moisture in the soil for plants during hot dry spells. Landscaping bark chippings are often used in commercial landscaping projects too.
