Chamber of Commerce Business of the Month: Country Bark

Country Bark is Deer Park’s premier landscape supply. Three years ago Deer Park natives Phil LaJiness, owner of Smileys Construction and Matt Barton, owner of Copper Creek Landscaping, purchased the business and have worked endlessly to renovate the property and update the equipment. We are friendly country folk who love our job, love our town and love our customers. We work with the local landscape companies and contractors, as well as with Scotts Family Tree nursery to provide you with full service attention! 

 We have a beautiful site with a wide variety of bark, gravel, sand, and boulders. Our garden soil is highly coveted, becoming available for pick up and delivery. We have sand for your beach or fire pit area. We carry beautiful decorative rock to compliment your home and landscape. We have compact, high volume trucks that insure safe delivery on tight driveways, lake lots and yard gates. Also available is outdoor space for consignment items, such as farm art, wood art, or other local artistry.

 Feel free to stop by Monday thru Friday 8-5 or on Saturday 8-3, we would love to hear about your next project and see how we can help!
