How deep should I apply Decorative Mulch

For effective weed suppression and best looks and asthetics, apply decorative bark mulch at a depth of 5–10cm.

Please Note: Bark will settle during transit and after installation, therefore we recommend you always add an extra 10-20% to allow for settling and compaction.
