Fife sits in northern Pierce County, just east of Tacoma — a small but growing city nestled between the Puget Sound tideflats and lush inland neighborhoods. With a mix of older homes, new developments, and a backdrop of evergreen trees, it’s a place where landscaping matters. If you want quality bark, mulch, soil or chips delivered right to your Fife property without the hassle, that’s where Aardvark Bark comes in. We serve across Fife — from the residential pockets to newer subdivisions, and even near commercial areas where properties need dependable ground cover or soil delivery.
Over the years Fife has grown beyond its farming roots to become a community with both residential neighborhoods and industrial/commercial zones. The city covers around 5.7 square miles. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} That means some yards are compact suburban lots, while others are larger — and many local homeowners appreciate having access to bulk landscaping materials delivered directly, rather than hauling multiple bags themselves.
Why Landscaping Materials Matter in Fife
Fife’s flat lowlands — part of the tide‑flat and river‑floodplain area near the tideflats and the delta of the Puyallup River — bring unique considerations. Portions of Fife are known to have a high water table or soils that can hold moisture. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3} That means mulch, bark, quality topsoil, or chips can play a key role in improving drainage, preventing erosion, and helping plants establish healthy roots.
Good soil and mulch also help with moisture regulation — important in a climate where winters are wet, summers can dry out, and tidal influences or groundwater can affect lawn and garden health. If you’re planting beds, landscaping around home foundations, or creating garden zones, having quality materials makes a difference.
Our Go-To Products for Fife Landscapes
Here’s what many of our Fife customers order — from small yards to larger properties:
- Medium Red Bark — a classic, warm-colored bark that brightens garden beds and pathways while helping retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
- Fine Red Bark — neat, even-textured mulch that gives a clean, polished look — ideal around lawns, flower beds, or walkways.
- Fine Dark Bark — a deep, rich mulch that contrasts nicely with greenery, giving a modern, well-kept vibe to gardens or landscaped areas.
- Compost — excellent for enriching garden soil, improving nutrient levels, and helping plants thrive through Fife’s seasons.
- Blower Topsoil — soft, screened topsoil useful for leveling ground, building new garden beds, regrading lawns, or establishing new turf.
- Arborist Chips — ideal for pathways, wooded areas, or larger properties where low‑maintenance ground cover is needed.
Whether you’re upgrading existing beds, starting a new garden, or refreshing an older landscape, these materials give Fife homeowners flexibility — enough to fit small renovation projects or full scale yard makeovers.

Tips for Landscaping & Yard Work in Fife
- Use 2–3 inches of mulch or bark for garden beds to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture — especially helpful with Fife’s wetter winters.
- Mix compost into beds or vegetable gardens in early spring to give plants a nutrient boost and help soil structure.
- If you’re re‑grading, filling low spots, or adding a lawn, use blower topsoil — it’s screened, easy to spread, and improves drainage and root growth.
- For pathways, wooded‑edge zones, or low‑maintenance ground cover, arborist chips are a cost‑effective and durable option.
- Consider drainage when landscaping, especially if your property sits near tideflats or in a low‑lying area — mulch and topsoil can help, but good grading matters most.
