Landscaping Bark in Wigan

Premium landscaping bark at £87 a bulk bag, delivered across the WN postcodes. A decent layer over the beds keeps the weeds down and holds moisture through a dry spell, and one bulk bag covers about 14 square metres at 50mm.

Bark goes a long way on the mature borders up around Swinley and Whelley, spread a couple of inches over the beds each year and it saves a lot of weeding. For the smaller Ince and Pemberton gardens one bag usually does the lot. Bulk bags drop kerbside, so let us know the access when you order landscaping bark for delivery to Wigan.

We deliver across Wigan and the surrounding area: Pemberton, Ince, Whelley, Marsh Green, Swinley and beyond (WN1, WN3, WN5, WN6).

About 14 square metres at 50mm deep, which is the depth worth laying if you want it to keep the weeds down. Add up the area of your beds and divide by 14 for the number of bags, or send us the measurements and we will check before you order.

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.
