Considerations:

A type of mulch that can be utilized for beds and slopes is bark and wood chips. They can aid in water retention, weed control, and beautiful garden design1. Bark can be used for beds and slopes, but there are a few things to keep in mind.

A heavier variety of bark, such as wood nuggets or shredded bark, is preferable than a lighter one since it can better hold its position.

Avoid placing any plastic or fabric beneath the bark since this could result in a slippery surface that causes the bark to slide off the slope2. Instead, use several layers of bark, and wet them thoroughly to help them adhere to one another.

If you’re using them as paths, you should install a membrane between the dirt and the bark to stop them from blending with the soil and getting muddy3. Additionally, make drainage holes in the membrane.
