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.
It is our most popular beauty bark
- Fine
grind beauty bark is smaller in size and darker in color. Fine
beauty bark is a component in Nutra-Mulch
- Bark
Nuggets as the name suggests are not shredded, but are
instead whole chunks and small nuggets of the bark of the trees.
Bark Nuggets are 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 Nutra-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.
