We offer playground mulch that is certified through IPEMA and holds ATSM 1292 & 2075 certifications.

Paper Manufacturing: From pulping to produce paper products & cardboard boxes to manufacturing sheet board for sub floors & shelving wood chips go the distance when talking versatility.
Biomass Fuel: Traditionally used as solid fuel for heating wood chips are affordable, widely available & environment friendly as they are carbon neutral  in terms of carbon dioxide when burned.
Playground Resurfacing: Extremely effective  in lessening the impact of falls from playground equipment wood chips can be reprocessed to be the environmentally friendly alternative to rubber type playground surfaces.
Gardening: Great for weed control, moisture retention & temperature control for soil wood chips are easy to lay & remove in your landscaping environment & won’t get blown around by winds like lightweight mulches.

Not All Bark Mulch Is Created Equal: Our bark mulch is made from 100% tree bark of hardwood trees de-barked locally on our premises. Because it 100% tree bark and not just ground up wood Scotland Hardwood Bark Mulch contains a substantial amount more nutrition vital for the plants & soil in your garden. Mulch mixtures that are not made with 100% tree bark contain a great deal of ground up wood, twigs, leaves & pallet wood. This type of mixture does nothing but harm soil health by actually pulling nitrogen from soils & plants. Additionally, it also takes much longer to break down & leaves no nutritional behind as it breaks down.
Benefits of Bark Mulch: Beyond naturally providing the best nutrient value for soil, bark mulch is much heavier than other mulch mixtures. It lays flatter & locks together so is therefore less likely to be washed away or be blown out of your garden by the wind.

Animal Bedding: For household animals such as gerbils & guinea pigs to outdoor livestock such as chickens, cows & horses sawdust is an excellent choice for animal bedding (with the exception of walnut).
Particle Board Production: Many everyday components such as counter tops & toilet seats are made from sawdust and is used as a filler in many home improvement products.
Energy Production: Sawdust can be used as a biomass fuel in of course a multitude of different ways. It can be used as fuel or as a fire starter.
Liquid Spills & Liquid Absorbents: Sawdust is so versatile it can be used to soak up liquid spills such as oil & paint. It can also be used on pathways to keep them intact & allow for traction when they are muddy & eroding.
Other Projects: Clean concrete floors, fill wood holes & defects, lighten up cement, use as packaging material & pottery making.
