What is wood chip used for?

Wood chip offers a great balance between appearance, durability and economy, when compared to other decorative barks and surface coverings. Wood chip is very free draining but also helps retain moisture where you want it, down in the soil. Wood chip is very robust and unlike bark or mulch, won’t breakdown so easily as the chip is cut not shredded. You can use wood chip directly onto bare earth in your garden for paths or as a decorative weed suppressing layer around your plants, trees or in your borders.

Can your wood chip be used in chicken runs?

Our wood chip also makes an excellent floor for your chicken run preventing muddy, slippery conditions. As a bonus, chickens love to hunt through the woodchip for insects and worms, keeping them busy and happy and happy chickens lay lots of eggs!

Can wood chip be used for access roads or gateways? 

Wood chip is also a great, natural alternative to hardcore or chalk if you have wet, heavy traffic, corners or gateways into a field or pony paddock for example.

Does wood chip offer any benefits to the soil?

Wood chip will eventually breakdown and add valuable organic matter and nutrients to your soil, wood chip should last between 6 months to a year depending on its use. When used for animals, such as chickens this may be slightly less depending on numbers of birds and ground conditions.

How much wood chip will I need? 

For pathways we recommend a depth of 100mm, beds and borders will require less but ensure there is even coverage to achieve effective weed suppression.
