BARK BLOWERS INC

Mulch and Topsoil, Landscaping, Lawn and Yard Work,

About us

Bark blowers Inc. was founded by two families in 1985 with a vision to apply the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle philosophy to the timber industry. We wanted to reduce the amount of waste produced by lumber mills by reducing timber byproducts and recycling them to the earth in the form of barkdust. Bark Blowers Inc. was thus developed to help people beautify their landscape with desirable organic products that would naturally return their nutrients to the ground. While wanting to give something back to the earth we also wanted to give something back to our customers. Bark Blowers Inc. was one of the first barkdust companies in the Portland area to develop and build their own blowing systems. The blowing system was developed to save our customers time and money while reducing the need to run wheelbarrows over their landscape.

We were very happy. They were on time. They told us they would be here at a certain time and they showed up and dropped it on the driveway where they told us. They did exactly what they said they were going to do. The price was good. We had looked around at a couple of others places. They were very good and they did exactly what the guy told us they would do. Their price was very competitive. We would definitely use them again.

They brought it in a dump truck and it filled the entire slope of our backyard and all around our waterfalls. They did a good job. Whenever we needed to call them they were always available. Because we worked with a contractor we were able to get a contractor's price, which was helpful. It was expensive to do but they were right there with everybody else. We would have liked it to have been less but I don't think anybody else was cheaper. I would use them again. They were good. We worked with the owner and our contractor.
Description of Work: We used Bark Blowers to put in 3 1/2 yards of bark.

I thought that the price was reasonable. They did a good job and they were responsive. I would recommend them. They were able to respond pretty quickly. They were personable. I would hire them again. I had nothing to compare their price to since they were the only ones that I had contacted.

It went very well overall. After they were done, I was told to water it in well to cool it off, since it would be better for the shrubs. I did the best I could, but wasn't able to spend as much time as I should have. I lost a couple shrubs. Would have scheduled more time for watering if I had known upon ordering.
Description of Work: Blew in 12 yds of bark. Spred as needed. Cleaned up afterwards. Fast and professional.

They provided great service. They came on time and charged reasonable prices. They refunded the check. I would use them again and I give them 5 stars. They did the work perfectly. The price was well worth it. They came out in 5 minutes and our landscaper who was here at that time was ready to work with them. I got a good deal. I would definitely use their services in the future too.

They did a pretty good job. They were very helpful. I talked to them on the phone about determining the types of bark I could get. There are about 16 different types and that can be quite intimidating if you don't know anything about it.
Description of Work: Bark Blowers uses a blower technique that puts bark where you want. It's common to use for areas that you don't want things to grow in. Not the lawn, but areas around the lawn.

The quality of the barkdust was very poor. Lots of pieces/chunks of wood. I have raked the "barkdust" twice to get most of the wood pieces up and then I threw them away. So I'm throwing away the product that I paid to have put down. I sent an email to the owner of the company explaining my concerns but he didn't bother to reply.

I had to wait three weeks to get delivery. They blew it in unevenly - some areas had three inches and others had less than one inch. It was supposed to be two inches throughout. They buried many of my plants and a good deal of the groundcover. I had to spend quite a bit of time uncovering those and raking the bark dust to even it out. I also had to go buy bags of bark dust from a local store and spread it out to cover some areas. I had precisely measured the area to be covered and used the calculation table on their web site to determine how much to order plus I ordered a little bit extra but it still didn't cover the whole area. Overall, I was not happy and would not order it from them again since I ended up doing so much work myself.

Called on a Friday to get price and find out how much I needed. They answered my questions and pointed me to website for pictures. Their price was the cheapest, so I called back later on Friday and we were scheduled for the following Tuesday. They arrived about 1/2 hour into delivery window and were done in less than 1/2 hour. They were careful around existing plants and patio furniture and cleaned the dust off of all surfaces before they left. Very pleased with the whole experience.
