How long will barkdust last?
On average 2-3 years if put down at a 2-3 inch depth. Other factors include the slope of the landscape, and amount of traffic through the material.
How many yards are in 1 unit?
Approximately 7.4 yards are in 1 unit
How far will the hose reach for a blower application?
We carry 250 feet of hose on our trucks. We are able to reach up to 300 feet in most cases.
Should I put put plastic or weed fabric under the barkdust?
Three inches of barkdust gives you the same weed control without the extra effort. Plastic is not recommended because it prevents water from penetrating into the ground. It also traps air which can lead to moldy soil. Weed fabric makes it difficult to do more planting and still needs 2-3 inches of barkdust.
Does blowing barkdust make a big mess?
We clean up any over spray before we leave the job. The only exception is from dust sticking to the sidewalks/building due to a sprinkler system or rain, in which case we do the best we can with our back blowers to clean up. Some additional clean up may be needed with a water hose.
