Pine Bark Mini Nuggets are smaller chunks of natural pine bark that combine the rugged, organic look of traditional bark mulch with a finer texture suited for perennials, annuals, and smaller plantings. The reddish-brown to dark brown color brings warmth to landscape beds and complements virtually any home exterior or plant palette.
Each bag holds 2 cubic feet (56.6L) of all-natural pine bark with no dyes or chemical treatments, making it pet and kid friendly. Hickory Grove backs every bag with a year-long color guarantee, so your beds keep that fresh appearance from one mulching season to the next.

Coverage and Installation
Each 2 cubic foot bag covers approximately 12 square feet at a 2-inch depth or 8 square feet at a 3-inch depth. Pine bark mini nuggets perform best at a 2 to 3-inch depth, which provides effective weed suppression and moisture retention without smothering smaller perennials and annuals. Spread evenly across prepared beds, keeping mulch slightly away from plant crowns and stems. Pine bark is lightweight and can occasionally float during heavy downpours, so avoid steep slopes or drainage paths where water flow concentrates.
