Groundcover

Somerlap wood chip and bark mulch products are not only an environmentally friendly and economical method of providing ground cover, but they also greatly enhance the appearance of areas in which they are applied. These natural and hygienic materials have no added chemicals and have many domestic and commercial uses.

These include:

applications in agriculture and horticulture where, used as a surface dressing, bark will allow air and water to penetrate to the roots whilst protecting tender plants

sawdust used in animal husbandry as a hygienic bedding and walkway surface - please ask for a quotation.

woodchip used in indoor and open air equestrian arenas and other recreational  and sporting areas where their use as a practical and long-lasting surface is well recognised.

children's play areas as an impact absorbent surface.  See www.rospa.com/playsafety for further safety information.

Somerlap ground cover products are available for customer collection or may be ordered for delivery by one of our own vehicles as a loose, bulk load.

Woodchips and sawdust are packed in open top sacks.

How much do I need?
Bark & Wood Fibre - Multiply desired length by width by depth (in metres) to ascertain how much is required to fill a given area.
EG: 10m x 4m x 150mm (0.15m) = 6m3

Volume Measurement
The volume of our Bark and Chip products is measured following the BS EN 12580:2000 “Soil Improvers and Growing Media - Determination of a Quantity” standard. A copy of this standard is available from the British Standard Institute.
