Cork bark is a versatile and sustainable material that can be creatively used in garden decoration and landscaping. Our cork bark is naturally derived from virgin cork oak trees in Portugal and so you are guaranteed a high quality product no matter what you intend to use it for. Here are some of our favourite ways that you can incorporate cork bark into your outdoor space!
Pathways
Create natural-looking pathways by laying down flat pieces of cork bark. This adds a rustic charm to your garden while also providing a comfortable surface to walk on.
Mulching
Cork bark can be shredded or chipped to create a unique and attractive mulch for your garden beds. Not only does it provide insulation and moisture retention for the soil, but it also adds an interesting texture and colour to the landscape. Our bulk bags are great for versatile areas like these!
Planters
Cork bark can be fashioned into containers or used to line existing ones. Its natural texture adds visual interest to potted plants and helps to regulate soil moisture. It can also be used to edge flower beds or define boundaries of your garden.
Sculptural Elements
Incorporate large pieces of cork into your garden as sculptural focal points. Use them as standalone art pieces or as supports for climbing plants like ivy or clematis.
Water Features
Use cork bark to construct natural-looking water features such as cascades or rockeries. The porous nature of cork helps to absorb and retain water, making it an ideal material for creating small ponds or streams.
Art and Crafts
Get creative with cork bark by using it for DIY projects such as mosaic stepping stones, decorative panels, or even furniture accents like tabletops or benches.
