BEAUTY BARK, CEDAR FINES, PLAY CHIPS, COMPOST &
NUTRA-MULCH
Palmer sells
traditional medium and fine grind Beauty bark, Cedar fines, Cedar play
chips, Compost, and Nutra-Mulch. All products are available on a
U-haul or we deliver basis. Our minimum U-haul load is one cubic
yard. We can deliver any size load, but a 10 to 15 cubic yard
delivery is the most cost effective option for the home consumer.
Beauty bark is
an important maintenance component for many landscape designs.
Traditional beauty bark is manufactured from the bark of fir and
hemlock trees. Medium grind beauty bark is larger in size and
reddish-brown in color, while fine grind is smaller in size and darker
in color.
Cedar fines
are ground from entire Red Cedar trees. The Cedar fines have an
aromatic cedar smell, protect against weed growth, and help keep
insects away. They are long-lasting and reddish-brown in color.
Cedar play chips
are traditionally used as a ground cover for play areas, though they
can also be a design component of your overall landscaping. Cedar
chips are larger in size and typically of a white/yellow/amber hue.
Compost is
manufactured by area composters from yard waste and organic materials
such as leaves, grass clippings, brush, and chipped wood debris. The
organic material is typically composted at 130° F to destroy weed
seeds and plant pathogens. Compost is blackish in color. In addition
to selling pure compost, Palmer also mixes varying amounts of the same
compost into our Four-way mix topsoil, our 50%-50% Sand-Compost mix
topsoil, and into Nutru-Mulch.
Nutra-Mulch
is 50% fine beauty bark and 50% compost. Nutra-Mulch not only
suppresses weed growth but through the beneficial soil-food web it
nourishes soil and enables plants to thrive. Evaporation is minimized
which helps to retain soil moisture – meaning less watering. For best
results, apply 3 – 4 inches thick, keeping it shallow next to the
trunks of trees or shrubs. It can serve as either a ground cover or a
soil amendment.
