When a big tree is unhealthy, it can create a serious safety risk. In such a situation, it’s best to have an arborist safely cut down the tree before it comes crashing down in high winds. Once the tree is cut down, the unsightly stump should also be removed so that it doesn’t pose a tripping hazard or attract termites. At Florida Tree Trimmers, we’ve invested in high-quality stump removal equipment that allows us to grind up the stump into wood chips. If you prefer, we can simply haul out all the tree matter that we remove. But it’s also worth considering using the wood chips on your property. Here are four ways you can use wood chips in your yard.
Wood chips can be used as mulch to protect plants during chilly stretches of winter weather. And during periods of little to no rain, wood chips can be beneficial by improving water retention. Wood chips are often used for mulch around fruit trees, well-established shrubs, and woody perennials.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly material to create pathways through your garden, then wood chips are a great option. They’ll help to keep weeds down, while also giving you a walking surface that is nice and soft. When the chips eventually break down, they can be transferred to your garden soil where they will provide carbon-rich matter.
If you have a play set in your backyard, you’ll want to have a soft ground surface to help prevent injuries from hard landings. Wood chips are a good option around jungle gyms and swing sets. As a bonus, they’ll also help to reduce the amount of mud in the play area after heavy rains.
Wood chip substrate is a great material for growing some types of culinary mushrooms, such as wine caps. If you love cooking with tasty fungus, then this could be a fun project for you.
