Our Barky Beaver Team has a Mission

With acres of mulch and bark in year-round inventory, Barky Beaver serves thousands of customers each year. We value our integrity, dependability and are known for our excellent customer service. We are respected throughout the horticulture industry for our continued commitment to natural ingredients that respect the earth and environment, and it is our mission to maintain that reputation.

Barky Beaver’s manufacturing and delivery team includes some of the finest and most dedicated people in our region. They take pride in creating a product that meets the standard of quality that we promise our customers and ensuring that the product is delivered as promised.

A fleet of trailer trucks deliver bulk shipments of mulch and nursery mixes, while bagged shipments are quickly and efficiently delivered on flatbeds for easy unloading by the customer. Because Barky Beaver offers such a wide array of products, we provide a one-stop source for almost any soil mix needed for landscaping, growing plants or for retail sales.

At our Algood location, employees are available to assist wholesale and retail customers with the purchase, pickup or delivery of any of the Barky Beaver products.
