About the product
How this mulch performs
Hoop bark comes from the Hoop Pine, a tree known for its sturdy, good-looking bark. Processed into 1–2 inch chunks, it gives any garden an instant textured finish, and it brings plenty of practical benefits along with the looks.
Because the chunks are large, air and water move freely through the layer, which suits gardens that need healthy roots and proper drainage. Being organic, it slowly breaks down, adding essential nutrients, improving soil structure and helping plants grow healthier.
For best results, spread an even 5–7cm layer over garden beds or around trees, then top it up every 12–18 months.
