At Aardvark Bark, we’re proud to serve the city of Auburn, Washington, and surrounding South King County communities. Auburn is a place that blends suburban living with rural charm—home to quiet neighborhoods, expansive properties, schools, parks, and commercial developments. No matter what part of Auburn you're in, we’re here to bring high-quality landscaping materials and expert service to help your outdoor spaces stay beautiful, functional, and sustainable year-round.
We’ve worked with all kinds of properties in Auburn—from sloped lots in the Lea Hill area to large open yards near the Green River Valley. What they all have in common is the need for reliable, efficient landscaping materials and application—and that’s where our blower truck service comes in. With our specialized trucks and 250-foot hoses, we can place mulch, bark, compost, topsoil, pea gravel, and even engineered wood playground surfacing exactly where you need it—quickly and with minimal disruption. Whether you’re trying to reach the back of a long lot, cover a steep slope, or just avoid the hassle of wheelbarrows, our method saves time and delivers a clean, professional finish every time.
One of the things Auburn customers appreciate most is that we take care of the entire process. We don’t just drop off a pile of material and leave you to figure it out. We deliver, install, and clean up—all typically in just a couple of hours. And thanks to our dust-control system, which adds water during the blowing process, we’re able to keep airborne particles to a minimum. That makes a big difference, especially near homes, gardens, or playgrounds.
We’re also proud to offer an eco-conscious approach to landscaping. All of our bark is 100% organic and free of dyes or chemicals. It’s made from virgin fir and hemlock, screened for consistency, and available in several textures and colors—from rich red bark to deep, natural brown. Our bark helps improve soil health by regulating temperature, conserving moisture, and keeping weeds under control. It also makes any landscape look more polished and well-kept, whether you're refreshing your flower beds or giving a commercial frontage a visual boost.
Our compost is another go-to material for Auburn homeowners, gardeners, and property managers. It’s made from fully recycled yard waste, screened to ⅝-inch minus, and loaded with nutrients. People use it to prep soil before planting, restore lawn health, or simply give their garden beds a boost before the growing season. We also offer a blower-friendly topsoil mix—a blend of 70% compost and 30% sand—that’s ideal for top-dressing large garden beds or prepping new planting areas. Because we can blow this mix into place, even hard-to-reach areas are no problem.
We also take safety seriously, especially when it comes to spaces where kids play. That’s why we offer FiberPC, our engineered wood playground surfacing. It’s made from natural wood fibers and certified by IPEMA to meet national playground safety standards. You’ll find FiberPC in schoolyards, parks, and daycares throughout Auburn. It creates a soft, natural-looking surface that protects kids while still blending in with the surrounding landscape. And just like all of our materials, it can be applied efficiently by blower truck, saving time and labor.
For other landscape needs, we also carry pea gravel, arborist chips, rooftop mix, and decorative rock. Our Auburn clients use pea gravel for driveways, drainage, or walkways. Arborist chips are a cost-effective solution for large open areas, erosion control, or natural play zones. If you have a unique project in mind, we’re always happy to help figure out a material solution that fits your needs and can be installed cleanly with our equipment.
Beyond the materials and the equipment, what really sets us apart is how we work with our customers. Whether you’re a homeowner, a general contractor, or a property manager, we take the time to understand your project and help you choose the right materials. We’ll talk through your goals, site conditions, sun exposure, slope, and more to make sure you’re getting the best result—not just for aesthetics but for long-term landscape health.
We also make it easy to estimate and plan. Our online calculator helps you figure out how many cubic yards you’ll need, and we provide clear, upfront quotes based on your material, location, and schedule. There’s no guesswork or surprise fees—we keep everything straightforward so you can plan your project with confidence. Most of our Auburn-area projects fall within our standard service area, and we’re usually able to schedule within a few days, especially during peak season when we run a full crew.
We’ve been lucky to work with hundreds of satisfied customers in Auburn over the years—families updating their backyards, schools improving their playgrounds, and businesses enhancing their curb appeal. Time and time again, our clients tell us they’re impressed by how fast, clean, and professional our service is. We show up when we say we will, take care of the job efficiently, and always clean up before we leave.
Whether you’re located near downtown Auburn, out by Lake Tapps, or up on West Hill, we’re ready to help you take your landscape to the next level. If you’re planning a project and want reliable materials, expert installation, and a crew that takes pride in their work, we’d love to hear from you. Give us a call or request a quote through our website—it’s quick, easy, and the first step toward a cleaner, greener, and better-looking property.
