Pine Bark can offer many benefits for your yard, garden and landscaped area. Pine Bark offers insulation around trees, shrubs and plants, retaining moisture in the soil. It also can be used to reduce weeds and maintenance in your garden or create focal points in your yard. Pine Bark can provide a nice ground covering for play areas, keeping kids and pets out of the mud. Plus, Pine Bark can improve the appearance of your yard and add nutrients to the soil as it decomposes.
