Aardvark Bark Blowing is a proud member of the Washington Association of Landscape Professionals and has served Tacoma and the Puget Sound for years. Our blower trucks reach where wheelbarrows and dump trucks cannot, including steep hillsides, gated backyards, tight side yards and spaces under play structures.
Every job ends the same way: material placed exactly where you want it, and a clean site when we pull away.
No pile in your driveway. No wheelbarrows. No mess left behind.
A typical 60 yard blower truck carries 250 ft of 4 inch hose, so material lands well beyond where the truck can park.
A water based dust suppression system keeps dust to a minimum during every install.
Crews blow excess material off sidewalks, driveways and grass, then rinse fences and rocks.
Our trucks add water to the material as it blows, so blowing bark in the rain is common in Washington.
Our bark is 100% organic with no chemicals or dyes. There are five core products we stock regularly, with slight seasonal variations in color and size.
IPEMA certified engineered wood fiber made from 100% virgin cedar, designed and tested for playgrounds and play structures.

Five star reviews on Google from homeowners and business owners.
“I have a huge back yard and knew there was no way I could haul all that bark. Dan and Jack were great. They had the job done quick and clean.”
Connor Wesely
“They even clean up before they leave! I own a daycare these chips are quality and safe for the children. Highly recommend!”
Somer Johnson
“We run a doggie daycare and we ordered playground bark chips for our backyard yard to fix our mud problem and we couldn’t be happier. The dogs love it and we love not having mud tracked into our home.”

The questions we hear most often. More are on our FAQ page.
Yes. Our trucks use a dust suppression system that adds water to the material, and blowing bark in the rain is common in Washington.
Our trucks come to each job with 250 feet of hose. Under special circumstances we can reach farther, so ask us about your site.
Pure dirt is too heavy for a blower truck. We can blow Blower Topsoil, a mix of 70% compost and 30% washed sand. See our products above.
No. Sand is highly abrasive and wears the truck, so we only use it in small quantities combined with compost. Straw is too light to feed through the system.
Yes. Read our minimum load size guide, or call us and we will help you plan your project.
