Wigan Tree Services - Comprehensive Wood Chipping

At Wigan Tree Services, we understand that maintaining a beautiful and healthy garden or landscape involves more than just trimming hedges and pruning trees. One of the most challenging aspects of garden care is dealing with the inevitable accumulation of tree branches, logs, and other woody debris that results from regular maintenance. Whether you’re clearing your property of storm damage, pruning trees, or simply tidying up your garden, the waste generated can be significant. This is where our professional wood chipping services come into play.

What is Wood Chipping?

Wood chipping is a process where branches, logs, and other wood debris are fed into a machine called a wood chipper, which grinds them into small, manageable wood chips. These chips can be used for a variety of purposes, such as mulch for garden beds, pathways, or even as fuel. Wood chipping is an efficient way to deal with large amounts of garden waste, reducing the volume of debris by up to 90%. This makes it easier to dispose of or repurpose, helping you keep your garden clean and tidy.

4. Eco-Friendly Solution: Wood chipping is an environmentally friendly way to deal with garden waste. By turning branches and logs into wood chips, you’re recycling natural materials that would otherwise go to waste.

The Benefits of Wood Chipping

Wood chipping offers a range of benefits that go beyond just reducing garden waste. Here are some of the key advantages:

1. Mulch Creation: One of the most common uses for wood chips is as mulch in garden beds. Mulch helps to conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature, creating a healthier environment for plants. Additionally, as the wood chips break down over time, they add organic matter to the soil, improving its structure and fertility. This natural process enhances the overall health of your garden and can lead to more vigorous plant growth.

2. Pathway Material: Wood chips can be used to create natural, attractive pathways in your garden or landscape. They provide a soft, cushioned surface that is comfortable to walk on and can help define different areas of your outdoor space. Wood chip pathways are particularly useful in areas where grass struggles to grow or where you want to create a low-maintenance walking surface.

3. Erosion Control: In areas prone to erosion, such as slopes or riverbanks, wood chips can be used to stabilize the soil and prevent erosion. By spreading a layer of wood chips over the soil, you can reduce the impact of rainwater and runoff, helping to keep the soil in place and protecting your landscape from damage.

4. Composting Material: Wood chips can also be used as a carbon-rich material in compost piles. When mixed with nitrogen-rich materials like grass clippings or kitchen scraps, wood chips help balance the compost and speed up the decomposition process. The resulting compost can be used to enrich your garden soil, providing valuable nutrients to your plants.

5. Fuel Source: In some cases, wood chips can be used as a renewable energy source. They can be burned as fuel in wood-fired boilers or stoves, providing a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. While this may not be the most common use for wood chips, it’s an option for those who have the necessary equipment and want to make use of every part of their garden waste.
