What Are Bark, Top Soil and Turf?
- Bark: Natural wood chips or shredded bark, used as mulch to suppress weeds, retain moisture, and add a decorative finish to beds and borders.
- Top Soil: Nutrient-rich, screened soil used for planting, lawn preparation, and improving poor ground conditions.
- Turf: Pre-grown grass supplied in rolls, offering an instant green lawn without the wait for seed to establish.
Key Uses and Benefits
Bark is perfect for mulching around shrubs, trees, and borders, helping to conserve water in summer and protect roots in winter. It also looks stunning, and will improve the visual appeal of landscaped areas.
Top soil creates the foundation for healthy plant growth and can be used to level uneven lawns, fill raised beds, or prepare ground for turf. Our top soil improves drainage and soil structure, helping with strong root development.
Turf is ideal for creating instant lawns in gardens, play areas, or commercial spaces. It provides immediate coverage, reduces soil erosion, and creates a neat, low-maintenance finish.
For a complete landscaping solution, you can combine these with other materials in our aggregates range, such as decorative aggregates for borders and pathways.
Choosing the Right Product for Your Project
If you want to add colour and texture to borders while reducing weeding, bark mulch is the best choice. For planting projects or lawn repair, nutrient-rich top soil will give plants the best start. If you need a quick lawn solution, freshly cut turf is the fastest way to achieve a complete green space. Our team can advise on quantities, grades, and preparation to ensure the best results for your project.
How to Use Bark, Top Soil and Turf
Start by preparing the area — clear weeds and debris, then level the ground. Spread bark evenly over soil to the desired depth for weed suppression. Apply top soil to planting beds or lawns, raking to a fine tilth before planting or laying turf. For turf, ensure the soil is level and moist, then lay rolls tightly together, staggering joins for a seamless finish. Water thoroughly after installation.
For seasonal maintenance, you can pair these products with other landscaping supplies such as rock salt, grano and tarmac to keep pathways safe and functional year-round.
