How much bark do i need

Calculating how much bark you need for your garden project is both an art and a science. The first step is to assess the area you plan to cover and decide on the depth of the bark layer you wish to lay. For instance, if you are looking to mulch a garden bed of around 10 square metres and aim for a layer approximately 5 centimetres deep, a simple multiplication of area by depth indicates that roughly 0.5 cubic metres of bark will be required. This method provides a sound starting point for most garden applications.

It is important to bear in mind that bark tends to settle over time. Consequently, you might consider ordering a little extra to allow for compaction and any uneven distribution. When planning a pathway, for example, a slightly thicker application may help stabilise the surface and create a pleasing finish. For those embarking on a larger project, reliable guidance from a supplier like AHS LTD can be invaluable, ensuring you order just the right amount for your needs without excess. In the end, a bit of careful measurement and consideration will help you achieve a garden that is both attractive and practical, with bark playing a vital role in the overall design and functionality.
