What Is a Blower Truck?

A blower truck (sometimes called a “bark blowing truck”) is a specialized vehicle equipped with a large storage bin and an air-powered blower system connected to a long hose. Bark material (or compost, soil, fiber) is loaded into the truck, and then blown through the hose exactly where you want it — garden beds, around plantings, over steep sloped terrain, between obstacles, up hillsides, or into tight spaces where dump trucks or wheelbarrows would be difficult or damaging.

Key features:

• Long hose reach: Our standard blower trucks have about 60 yards capacity with 250 feet of 4-inch hose, made up of 25-ft sections that connect — allowing our team to maneuver into tight corners, across lawns, over walls, or under sheds without dragging heavy dumpsters or disturbing landscaping.

• Clean, minimal site disruption: Because the material is blown into place, there’s no need to drive large equipment over your lawn or beds, reducing compaction or damage. Less manual labor for you.

Why Use a Blower Truck? (Benefits & Advantages)

Here are the main reasons customers choose our blower truck bark blowing service:

1. Precision & Control
   You control exactly where the bark lands. No piles dumped at access points that then need transporting by shovel or wheelbarrow through your yard.

2. Speed & Efficiency
   Jobs that might take hours of labor (spreading, moving bark) can often be done in a fraction of the time with a blower truck. This lowers labor cost and project timeline.

3. Reduced Mess & Cleanup

   • Dust suppression system: we include moisture application to keep dust down during blowing.

   • Post-installation cleanup: our crew uses the blower to remove excess material from sidewalks, driveways, lawns; we rinse material off fences or rocks to produce a clean, professional finish.

4. Better Access & Less Damage
   No need for trucks or dumpsters driving on lawns, over plants, or through narrow gates. Hose sections give us flexibility to reach difficult spots with minimal disruption.

5. Aesthetics & Finish
   Blower-installed bark tends to settle more evenly, allowing consistent depth and a smooth finish. This results in more attractive, long-lasting landscape beds or decorative areas.

6. Ideal for All Scales
   Whether residential beds, commercial properties, playgrounds, or slopes, blower truck service works well. Especially helpful for large areas, steep hills, or multi-product installs (bark + soil + fiber).

What Products We Can Blow

Blower trucks aren’t limited to just bark. At Aardvark Bark, our blower service can handle multiple landscaping materials:

• Medium Red Bark

• Fine Red Bark

• Fine Dark Bark

• Compost (screened compost or compost-based soil blend)

• Blower Soil / Topsoil Mix

• Playground Fiber or Engineered Wood Fiber for playground surfaces

• Specialty order materials (depending on product size, density, and hose-compatibility)

Different materials will behave differently when being blown — coarse fibrous material takes more airflow, fine products might need more control or moisture. We know how to adjust for each.

Considerations, Costs, & What Impacts Pricing

Several factors influence the cost of a blower truck service; understanding them helps you plan and avoid surprises:

• Volume of material (cubic yards) — More material means more cost, but also can reduce cost per yard as fixed costs are spread out.

• Distance hose must reach — Longer hose runs, or hoses running uphill, over obstacles, across steep grades, may slow process or require more labor, which can affect price.

• Access & site conditions — Steep driveways, narrow gates, long hose paths, obstacles (trees, fences, retaining walls) increase labor/time.

• Dust suppression requirements — If very low dust is a priority (e.g. near windows, outdoor furniture, sensitive landscaping), we may need to take extra time/precautions, slightly affecting cost.

• Cleanup & finish work — Extra cleanup (rinse off fences, move items, detailed brushing) adds time but improves the final result.

• Minimum load compliance — If the job is under our stated minimum, there may be a small-order surcharge.

When a Blower Truck Is Especially Helpful

Blower truck service is especially valuable when:

• The site is difficult to access: gated yards, tight side yards, steep slopes, areas behind structures.

• You want to avoid damaging lawns or gardens by driving heavy trailers or dump trucks across them.

• You have multiple landscape masses (beds separated by walkways, retaining walls) that would be tedious by hand.

• You need precise, even depth of bark or landscape material for appearance or code compliance.

• You’re installing in wet weather or conditions where ground disturbance should be minimized.

Serviced Areas & Local Advantages (Puget Sound, WA)

Because we’re local to the Puget Sound region (Tacoma, Seattle, Olympia, Kent, Auburn, Puyallup, Federal Way, Gig Harbor, etc.), here’s how that helps you:

• We know local climate, weeds, sun exposure, soil types — so we know what kind of bark, depth, or compost works best.

• Travel time is reasonable, so scheduling is easier and delivery costs are more reasonable than out-of-region competitors.

• Our crews are familiar with local site challenges: steep lots, rainfall, access restrictions typical in city neighborhoods.

FAQs about Our Blower Truck Bark Service

Q: Will blowing bark cover everything evenly or leave gaps?
A: Our trained crews check the depth as they go. Because of hose reach and operator control, we’re able to place material exactly where you want — corners, behind shrubs, over uneven ground. Gaps are minimized.

Q: How much dust should I expect?
A: We include moisture and dust suppression as part of the standard service to limit dust during blowing. After installation, there may be a little dust when the material dries, but far less than dry-dumped or hand-spread bark.

Q: Can I schedule blower truck service in rainy weather?
A: Light to moderate rain is usually OK. Heavy downpours or very muddy conditions may delay installation because wet ground can be slippery or hose placement unsafe. We’ll coordinate with you on weather.

Q: How soon after planting should I use blower bark?
A: Once plants are established and irrigation is available, or immediately after planting (with a small clearance around trunks/crowns), using blower truck bark speeds finishing and helps conserve moisture.

Q: What’s the minimum size order for blower truck service?
A: We have a minimum load requirement for blower truck jobs. Contact us with area size, product, and access info; we’ll tell you whether your project meets that minimum or whether there’s a surcharge for smaller loads.

How to Get Started: Steps to Booking

1. Measure your areas — note square footage and desired depth (e.g. 2-3 inches for mulch/bark, or specific depth for soil or fiber).

2. Assess site access — gate width, hose reach, driveway condition, slope, any obstacles.

3. Decide on materials — pick your bark type, compost, or fiber. If mixing materials, let us know.

4. Request a quote — we’ll estimate material cost, delivery / blower service, cleanup, and any site conditions affecting time.

5. Confirm schedule & prep site — we’ll set a date, and you prepare (move furniture, vehicles, clear obstacles).

6. Install and inspect — watch us work, check final depth & finish, and let us know if anything needs touching up.
