Frequently Asked Questions
How fine or coarse is the mulch produced from wood chipping?
The texture of mulch depends on the type of wood and the settings of the chipping equipment. Some chips are larger, better for pathways or erosion control, while finer mulch is ideal for garden beds. In many cases, a mix of chip sizes is created, which can balance aesthetics with soil benefits. If a specific finish is needed, it’s worth discussing options before chipping begins.
Is mulch from chipped branches safe to use straight away?
Freshly chipped mulch can usually be spread immediately, but some types of timber break down more slowly and may temporarily draw nitrogen from the soil. For ornamental beds or sensitive plants, letting mulch “season” for a short time may be recommended. Coarser chips tend to last longer, while softer woods decompose faster. In all cases, mulch still helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Can all types of tree branches be chipped into mulch?
Most branches and offcuts can be chipped, but certain species produce mulch that is more useful than others. Hardwood chips break down slowly and provide long-lasting coverage, while softer woods decompose quickly. Some palms and fibrous plants don’t chip well, producing stringy material that’s less attractive for garden beds. Knowing what kind of material is being chipped can help decide whether to reuse or remove it.
