Yes, if you require regular or scheduled assistance, we can likely provide a discount. Chipping manageable piles periodically is faster and easier than dealing with months of overgrowth in a single session.

The choice is yours. Many clients opt to keep the wood chips for mulch, pathways, or composting, but if you prefer, we can remove and dispose of them responsibly. Some customers request partial removal, such as keeping a portion for garden use and having the rest taken away.

Wood chipping is typically much quicker than people anticipate. A large pile of branches that would take hours to cut and bag by hand can often be turned into chips in less than an hour. For larger tasks, like site clearances, the job might take a few hours or a full day, depending on the volume.

However, the task is typically completed quickly, and our professionals wear ear protection to minimize the impact. Neighbours often find it less disruptive than prolonged burning or bagging over days.

No, that’s not needed. Our service covers all preparation and handling of the material, so you don’t have to do anything beforehand.

Yes, we can chip both freshly cut “green” wood and dry material. Wet or sappy wood may result in heavier chips that decompose more slowly, but they remain suitable for mulching or composting. Some clients prefer green chips as they break down into nutrient-rich compost faster.

Wood chips are highly versatile and have many uses. They are most often spread as mulch around plants and flower beds to retain moisture, control weeds, and protect roots. Additionally, they can be used to create natural garden pathways, mixed into compost heaps, or utilized as animal bedding or biomass fuel.

Wood chips generally last one to three years, depending on the wood type and local conditions. Softer woods break down quicker, often requiring annual topping up, whereas hardwood chips offer longer-lasting coverage. As they decompose, they naturally enrich the soil.

Wood chips are not ideal for fireplaces or wood stoves as they burn quickly and inefficiently. However, they can be used as biomass fuel in specialized boilers or dried for use as kindling. Most prefer to use them for mulch or composting rather than heating.

No, it’s not required. As long as the wood is accessible and you’ve provided clear instructions, we can complete the job in your absence. Some clients choose to be present, and you’re welcome to stay if you wish.

Most natural, untreated wood, such as branches, trunks, and brush from nearly any tree species, can be chipped. However, painted, varnished, or pressure-treated timber should not be chipped, as it creates unsafe or toxic material unsuitable for garden use.
