Tips For Bark Blowing This Spring

May 30, 2019Graham Saunders

As spring steps into full swing, many people are turning their minds to yard work. Once you’ve taken care of the basic maintenance tasks (such as brush cleanup and the dreaded weeding), you can start planning for the upcoming growing season. Part of that process involves a fresh, new layer of barkdust; bark blowing services can revitalize your landscape after this yucky winter. Here are a few tips that will ensure you get the best results from your barkdusted property.

How Much Barkdust Should I Use?

For landscaping applications, it’s recommended that you apply a layer of barkdust between two and three inches thick. One unit of barkdust can cover approximately 1000-1200 square feet at a 2 inch depth. You don’t want to go much deeper than that; you could end up suffocating the area beneath.

Try the coverage calculator here to help you calculate your amount needed.

Where Should I Barkdust?

Wherever you’d like! As long as the region is weed-free beforehand, the choice is entirely up to you. Many people prefer to barkdust their entire yard because it gives the lanscape a clean, pristine look — plus, it slows down the growth of future weeds, so you can enjoy your yard longer.

Nothing makes your garden look more manicured — and healthy! — than a clean, thick layer of barkdust. Best of all, you don’t have to do the work yourself; thanks to the expertise of barkdust specialists and experienced bark blowers, the only thing you have to do is tell them where you want it. At the end of the day, you’ll have a yard that is healthier and gorgeous!
