    DIY Your Own yard work

    Perhaps you're a tenacious person and confident with a saw. It's served you well, but the monstrous pile of branches leaves you concerned about what comes next.

    ~ Bob The Beaver ~

    Money Saving Tip 1

    If you haven't made a branch pile yet and plan to hire us, good!  Organize your branches with the cut end facing the same direction. Ensure that the cut end faces outwards toward where it is easy to approach with the wood chipper. This money saving tip will help reduce our billable time on your property.

    Money Saving Tip 2

    Branch Shape and Size

    • Can you lift the entire branch overhead? If not, its likely too big for us to put in the wood chipper without cutting it into a smaller pieces first. This effort takes extra time for us to process down. Another way to interpret this is: does the branch feel like its more than 20lbs? Best to cut that one in half.
    • Straight branches with few crotches ("y" shapes) chip faster.
    • Peacock - Angular branches without one predominant branch direction or have irregular or obtusely spanning branch crotches, like ornamental plum, chip slower. Cut these branches into smaller pieces.
    • Curly branches that resemble an Afro hair style like California Lilac, chip slower. Cut these branches into smaller pieces.
    • Thorny branches like Hawthorne take more time to handle safely.  Cut these branches into smaller pieces.

    Wood Chip Uses

    Moisture Retaining Garden Bed Cover

    Truth, wood chips, as a ground cover mulch, helps the bare ground beneath retain moisture in Victoria's hot summers. Being shy on water recharge already multiple years of drought, Victoria's soils are already parched before the summer has even begun. Pour a 2-4" layer of wood chips around the feet of your ornamental trees and shrubs. Though beware! Fresh wood chips mixed-in with soil will steal nitrogen from the surrounding soil. As good practice, we recommend formally taking wood chips through a composting process before amending it with soil. Green wood chips used as a formal mulch on top of soil should have supplementary "slow release" fertilizers applied around the plants where the mulch will reside, preferably before the wood chips have been applied.


    Become A Soil Farmer

    Did you know that wood chips are precursor compost/soil? True, as they are they will take some time to break down, but with just a couple more steps, you can accelerate this process and supercharge the ground into nutrient Nirvana becoming the fine new owner of some of the best soil in Victoria. 

    More truth: weeds love neglected soil, and inversely weaken in healthier soils; so if you're into gardening at all, consider that growing a crop of good compost to distribute across the yard can be a decisive power-move against weeds. All this, while making your veggies taste better - whats not to like. If you're interest, just ask. 


    Pathways

    Hardwood wood chips make great pathways that keep your shoes clean from surround dirt areas. Wood chips also reduce oxygen deprivation to trees from soil compaction.


    Sell It, Give It Away, or Dump It

    There are lots of folks in your neighbourhood in-need of the above who would gladly take your chips...especially when you tell them they are neatly contained inside reusable demolition bags. And if you find no recipients, you can always just dump it...at least the bagged branches are now in a format that can easily be put inside your green bin, or just tied shut and taken to the transfer station.
