Three ways to get it home

The Bark Place red dump truck with its bed raised

We deliver

Our trucks deliver to most of Linn and Benton counties: quality materials, generous measure.

Request a delivery

Two materials, one trip

Our trucks carry a splitter that divides the bed into two equal sections, so two different products arrive in one delivery.

Blowing bark into a garden bed through the blower truck hose

We blow it in

What takes days with a wheelbarrow and shovel takes our blower truck a few short hours. Great for big areas and hard-to-reach places: layered terraces, steep hillsides, rooftop gardens.

A pickup and trailer beside bark bays at a bulk landscape yard

Or load it yourself

Our retail yards are open to anyone hauling their own. Bring your pickup or trailer and we'll load it by the cubic yard, or buy a small amount by the bag.

The Bark Place has been a trusted name in the Mid-Willamette Valley since 1984, and it's still family owned and operated. We are proud of our reputation for quality landscape bulk products, fair pricing, and service second to none.

We buy all our bark directly from the saw mill.
