What is pine bark, and why choose a mixed grade?

Pine bark is separated during timber processing and prepared for horticultural use through cleaning, drying and sizing.

Particle size

Fine pieces close gaps, while larger pieces create a stronger decorative surface.

Mixed grade

Smaller particles settle lower and larger pieces remain visible, making mixed bark practical for general landscaping.

Graded products

A narrow size range is useful when a uniform, designed appearance is required.

Quality and storage

Use clean material and store it in a dry, accessible place before spreading.
