As the days begin to lengthen and the chill of winter slowly fades, it’s the perfect time to start planning how to refresh and rejuvenate your garden. Late winter and early spring are ideal for setting the groundwork for a thriving outdoor space. Whether you’re enhancing the play area for your little ones or creating a tranquil retreat, Playbark has everything you need to bring your garden dreams to life this spring.

1. Revive Your Flower Beds with Bark Chippings

Hardwood and softwood bark chippings not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your garden but also offer practical benefits. Adding a layer of bark to your flower beds helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and protect plant roots from late frosts. Now is the perfect time to lay down bark to prepare your beds for spring planting. See our range of Bark Chippings Here

2. Create Safe and Fun Play Areas

For families, an outdoor play area is a garden essential. Our rubber bark chippings are a top choice for creating safe, soft surfaces under play equipment. Durable and weather-resistant, they provide peace of mind and a pop of colour, ensuring outdoor fun continues year-round.

3. Lay the Foundation for Landscaping Projects

Thinking of tackling a larger landscaping project? Early preparation is key. Use our weed membrane, sand, topsoil, and bark chippings to level uneven areas, build raised beds, or design new garden features. Our quality materials make it easy to bring your landscaping ideas to life.

4. Beautify with Pebbles and Cobbles

Add texture and interest to your garden with our pebbles and cobbles. Perfect for edging pathways, creating water features, or adding a decorative touch to borders, these natural stones are a timeless addition to any outdoor space.

5. Protect and Nourish with Mulching

Winter mulching is a smart way to protect your soil and plants. Our Fine Grade Mixed Conifer Composter Bark acts as a natural insulator, keeping roots warm and healthy through unpredictable weather. As spring arrives, the organic material will break down, enriching your soil ensuring your plants come through better than ever.

6. Enhance Weed Control with Heavy-Duty Membrane

To maintain a pristine garden, consider installing our heavy-duty weed membrane. This durable membrane effectively suppresses weed growth, allowing water and nutrients to penetrate the soil. It’s an excellent base layer for under gravel, bark, or mulch, ensuring your garden stays low-maintenance and beautiful all year round.

Tips for January and February Gardening:

Prune and Clear: Remove dead branches, prune dormant shrubs, and clear debris to prepare your garden for new growth.

Plan Ahead: Sketch out garden layouts and decide where to use bark, sand, or decorative stones.

Order Early: Beat the spring rush by ordering your supplies now, ensuring you’re ready to go as soon as the weather warms.
