How much ground will 100l of bark cover

Knowing how much ground 100 litres of bark will cover helps you plan paths, borders and mulch layers with confidence. AHS LTD supplies quality bark chips that settle into an even carpet, resisting compaction and suppressing weeds. A volume of 100 L equates to 0.1 m³, and when spread at a typical 5 cm depth, it covers roughly 2 m² of ground.

If thicker coverage is desired—say, a 7.5 cm layer for extra moisture retention and weed control—expect coverage closer to 1.3 m². Conversely, a lighter 2.5 cm sprinkle will stretch 100 L to around 4 m², ideal under hedges or between stepping stones. Measurement before ordering prevents last-minute top-ups or wasted surplus.

When laying bark, first clear the soil of perennial weeds and rake the surface level. Turn out the 100 L bag, loosen the chips gently with a rake and distribute evenly. Over time, earthworms may draw smaller particles down, so an annual refresh of 10–20 L keeps the layer looking neat and effective.

Whether mulching a vegetable bed, shading tender roots or edging a gravel drive, 100 L of bark offers practical coverage choices. AHS LTD’s bags ensure consistency in chip size and moisture-regulating properties, making ground-cover calculations straightforward and reliable.
