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.

Great! Perfectly punctual and were able to drop the mulch exactly where I wanted it even though it was a tight fit for the truck. Really high quality mulch and outstanding customer service. Very friendly and efficient.

We are repeat customers of Bark Blowers, Inc. and have relied on their services for years. We have always found them professional and easy to work with. This visit was no exception. Jennie, in the office, was friendly and helpful when we were deciding how much bark dust to order. Bark Blowers called the day before to let us know when they would arrive. Scott and Sean arrived on time. Before starting to work, they spoke with us and listened to our concerns about certain areas in our yard we wanted them to pay attention to. The bark application went smoothly. They took care with all of our plants, particularly the new, smaller ones. After blowing in the bark, they did an amazing job of cleanup, even going so far as to hose off the plants. The yard looks amazing and our backs feel great!

Scott and Drake showed up on time, and were very professional. They did a great job blowing the mulch into my somewhat "challenging" yard. They did a very impressive and thorough job with clean up as bark mulch can be quite messy when its blown in. The office staff who answered the phone and made the appointment were very professional and answered my questions.

The crew was on time, very professional, friendly and courteous. They asked us specifically what our goals were and where we needed the mulch placed; we worked together to fine tune where and how much product to place in different locations throughout the process to be sure we were getting the coverage we needed. They brought extra mulch to work with and only would have charged what we needed. However we decided to put the remainder in a stock pile. They were careful to not go onto the neighbor's property and put it exactly where we wanted. They did a super job of cleanup afterwords. They completed the work in under an hour.

Went "ok" except when the pipe blowing in the fir bark clogged and exploded next to my neighbors house--they scrambled to clean that up. They then finished up the project--as they finished they mentioned that I would need to water all the plants because the bark dust gets hot from the blower and can burn the plants. Ran around frantically to do that after they left. Tried to wash the excess off the sides of the house--did not come off. Just spent 2 hrs this morning scrubbing all the areas on the siding--and got most of it off-- but still can see some staining. At first I was afraid I would actually have to repaint to get it off! Would not recommend this unless your house is painted black.

Fantastic. They were in and out in about 30 minutes. They cleaned up any excess and hosed down walkways and areas that had some bark residue. They were mindful of existing flowers and plants. They even paid attention to property lines and made adjoining areas look very well blended.

I needed bark dust for the selling of my home, to make landscaped areas "pop". This company was OUTSTANDING. THIS is the example of "how to do your job". From making the appointment, which was handled in the best way - lots of good information from the website, then the person who makes the appointments, answering all of my questions, giving me the best information possible... To the guys who came out and did the work. Oh my gosh, they were professional, friendly, kind, understanding, helpful....I wish I could hire these guys for every job I have on my property ever. I'm not kidding. They went above and beyond: The weekend before they came, my husband made his best effort to clear everything so they'd be able to do the bark dust. We didn't think we'd have everything ready, so I'd tried to call Saturday after they'd called to confirm our appointment - I was going to reschedule. But since I wasn't able to get ahold of them, I kind of figured they'd come anyway. So we did our best to get things ready for them. I kind of expected them later in the morning, so I was sleeping when they got here. They'd tried to call and tell me they'd be early, but my phone was off - MY bad. They were patient and persistent though, and they honked, which finally woke me up. I went out in my pajamas and to their credit, they didn't even blink twice that *I* was the late one and coming out half awake and disheveled, in my pajamas. They were smiling, friendly, not a trace of irritation at having to wait for me. They knew where the bark dust went and they got it down SO fast. We have a large property, but they moved like ninjas and put it all down lickety-split. I had to run an errand when they were finishing up (which again was SO fast), so when I left there was still bark dust on the ground near where they were putting it as they hadn't cleaned up yet. (Again, for this they were SO accommodating - no irritation whatsoever at moving the truck so I could get out, they were so friendly and nice about it all). When I got back, I was blown away. Everything looked AMAZING. They'd cleaned up everything around the edges, made it look better even than when we first moved in. I mean, it was TIDY. There is even this area in front where there are rocks on one side for drainage and then the area where the bark dust is on the dirt behind it. Some of the rocks had gotten half buried in the dirt and it wasn't as distinct anymore where the lines were - I have no idea what magic they wove, but there wasn't a speck of bark dust on any of those rocks, and the lines were so clear and clean between the dirt and the rocks. Seriously, it has NEVER looked that good before. There was also a strip we didn't finish, and they offered to just put a pile of bark dust there so we could spread it ourselves later. I said yes please, and they said, "Do you want us to just blow off this part and put the dust in a pile here?" There was some debris, so I said I could rake it away really quick, and they said, "It's no problem, we have an industrial blower, we can just do it." I thought they'd just out a pile in that one spot, but no, above and beyond, they blew away as much as they could around the area and basically laid half the bark dust where they could. Only in the unweeded areas and where we have a pile of debris we need to still remove do we need to spread it ourselves. I mean, talk about exceeding my expectations. The hose they used, which was all over the yard when they found it, they put back in a neatly coiled pile when they finished with it. Every edge is perfectly clean. Everything is WAY better than they found it. Even my husband, who always does a meticulous job with things, could not have done better. They really really did an amazing job. Seriously, I wish everyone I hired did their job this way. Just beautiful!

Tony and his team were fantastic!  They arrived right on time, made sure to care for all the plants in the area of the installation, finished the job quickly and then very carefully cleaned up.  I was so pleased with their efforts and the yard looks (and smells) amazing.  Great job!

I was able to schedule a delivery within a couple of days.  They arrived promptly within the promised time frame and dumped the load in the location I requested.  The quality of the bark mulch was good.  I also had a unit delivered on 9-4-13 and was also pleased with the quality of the bark mulch and their friendly service.
