Q.Can You Use Bine Bark On Top Of Sugar Cane?
Hi there, we’ve recently removed our lawn from the front yard. We were wondering if it would be doubly beneficial to put sugar cane down first and then pine bark over it. We previously had Sir Walter Buffalo grass and know that the grass will grow back. We want to use the bark simply because it looks nicer then sugar cane. We are wanting to plant different flowers and foliage. Is there any damage that can be done?

I don't see any reason that this would cause any damage. I think your idea would serve its purpose quite well, actually.
