Wood Chips: A Crucial Resource

Wood chips are one of the most valuable byproducts of professional tree work. Instead of hauling organic material to a landfill, arborists recycle branches and brush into nutrient-rich mulch. When applied properly, wood chips regulate soil temperature, retain moisture, and suppress weeds. As they slowly decompose, they improve soil structure and support beneficial microorganisms like mycorrhizal fungi.

In landscapes and garden beds, arborist chips create a natural, forest-floor environment that trees and plants thrive in. Using wood chips locally reduces waste, lowers disposal costs, and returns organic matter back to the soil—closing the loop in sustainable tree care practices.
