Landscaping Bark in Oldham

Premium landscaping bark keeps Oldham beds tidy and holds moisture through the summer, which matters on the free-draining plots up on the hillside. It comes in bulk bags at £87 each, and one bag covers around 14 square metres at 50mm, enough for a full border overhaul on most plots.

It suits the bigger family gardens over in Chadderton as much as the smaller terraced yards around Werneth, where a bulk bag dropped kerbside gets barrowed in up the ginnel. Spread it thick, top it up now and again and the weeding drops right off.

We deliver across Oldham and the surrounding area: Chadderton, Hollinwood, Werneth, Failsworth and beyond (OL1, OL4, OL8, OL9).

Bark is the outer layer stripped from timber, graded to an even size, and it gives a darker, tidier decorative finish that breaks down slowly. Woodchip is the whole branch chipped up, so it is rougher, paler and quicker to rot down. We supply the bark: for borders, beds and anywhere on show, it is the better material.

About 50mm is the sweet spot for a border: deep enough to block light to weeds and hold moisture, without burying your plants. Lay it over soil you have cleared of weeds and watered, and keep it a little clear of plant stems. Top it up every couple of years as it slowly breaks down.
