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.

Description of Work: Spread barkdust on back yard and side of house. At first were unsure of neighbors area and mine-once cleared up all went well. Very professional. Cleaned everything up-blew off sidewalks and street. Also blew parking area and this is why street had to be cleaned of barkdust.

Description of Work: Delivered 3 yards of garden mulch to our driveway. The truck driver was punctual and did a nice job of placing the mulch. I thought that the mulch contained a few too many twigs, but this is the first time that I have ordered this, so I may be mistaken.

We used them before at our old house for the front yard. The last time was 2 years ago. Unfortunately, the bark dust, together with everything else these days, went way up in price, but the service was as good as before. Even since we scheduled the guys, the price went up $10/unit! The guys came at the suggested time, were done in about 45 minutes and charged right at the estimated amount and were able to cover all the landscaping that we wanted with the 2 units scheduled. Cleaned up flawlessly after the job was done, like before. If you need a simple and fast way to get your bark dust placed where you want it, this is the way to go. Save your back!
Description of Work: Ordered residential bark dust, red hemlock blown for about 2000 sq ft! Estimate via homepage for 2.5 inches high suggested 2 units.

They did an excellent job. They called to let me know when they were coming. Once on site they asked where I wanted it and how deep. We discussed a contingency plan if I had ordered too much or too little. They did an excellent job cleaning up.

Called to get a price on a unit of mulch delivered. Was told five yards would be $159.00, and a full unit (7.5 yards) was $179.00. Discussed with spouse and called back. A different person answered the phone and told me that I was quoted incorrect prices, and that a unit would be $209.00. After some discussion an agreed upon price would be $189.00 for a full unit. They delivered the mulch the next day, but only five yards, not a full unit. I will NOT be using them again.

I'd been thinking about doing this for a long time, and they made the process very easy. We live on a hillside, and our yard is somewhat difficult to access, so blowing the bark worked very well. I would highly recommend this company. They were friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with.
Description of Work: They spread two loads of bark-dust throughout my yard. An estimator came to my house first and talked about what they would do, how much it would cost and about the types of bark-dust available (she left some bags with samples). Later the same day, she e-mailed me with a price quote. I called her back to schedule a time for the service.

By far, one of the most reasonably priced bark providers. Guys were friendly, professional & efficient! The woman who came out ahead of time for estimate was also wonderful, helpful & got back to us with an estimate just an hour or so later. She even provided us with a coupon for $10 off the service Highly recommend!

When I called to get a price quote, the man that helped me was very enthusiastic, friendly and nice. He answered all of my questions and let me make the decision myself. He did not apply sales pressure. When I called back to schedule the work, the woman that helped me was professional and friendly. The workers that delivered and blew the bark were efficient, professional and friendly. I would have them do work for me again.

Very positive experience as company was completely responsive and professional. Good price, yard looks great! Sales representative gave me a good estimate on how much bark I would need, explained my options, the costs and time frames needed to place an order. Crew was on time; equipment did break down and crew had to return later that morning to finish the job but did a great job.
