How to install Wood Chips
-
1
Pull back existing mulch
Don't pile up; that traps moisture and breeds root rot.
-
2
Edge cleanly
Trench or sculpt 4" sharp edges so mulch stays in beds.
-
3
Spread 2-3" deep
Less than 2" loses weed control; more than 3" suffocates roots.
-
4
Keep off trunks
Leave a 2" donut around trunks; never volcano-mulch.

Natural areas, big order
Took 12 yards of wood chips to cover a natural area along the back property line and around a cluster of pines. Wanted something rougher and longer lasting than shredded mulch, and this is it. Chunky, mixed sizes, breaks down slowly. Spread it about four inches deep and the weeds have not come back. The truck was full to the brim and the pile was exactly where the flags were.

Dog run and pathways
Ordered 4 yards of wood chips for the dog run and the paths between my raised beds. The dogs love it, it stays cleaner than the mud we had before, and their paws come in dry. Coarse enough that it is not blowing around either. Spread it in one afternoon with a pitchfork. Our alley is a tight turn and the driver managed it on the first try.
