Can I use the wood chippings from my trees?

At Koubsky Tree Service, we understand that many homeowners may be wondering what to do with the wood clippings from their trees after they have been trimmed or removed. The good news is that there are a number of ways to use the wood clippings, depending on the type of tree and the condition of the wood.

One option is to use the wood clippings as mulch in your garden. Mulch can help to retain moisture in the soil, suppress weeds, and improve the overall health of your plants. It’s important to note that if the wood is treated with chemicals or if it’s diseased or infested, it should not be used as mulch.

Another option is to use the wood clippings for firewood. If the wood is dry and seasoned, it can be used for firewood. However, it’s important to note that freshly cut wood will not burn well and should be left to dry for at least six months before it’s used as firewood.

You can also consider turning the wood clippings into wood chips. Wood chips can be used in various ways like, as a ground cover, landscaping, and path cover. They can also be used for playgrounds, hiking trails, and animal bedding.

Additionally, if the wood is in good condition, you can consider using it for woodworking projects. Depending on the type of tree, the wood may be suitable for carving, turning, or other types of woodworking.

Finally, if you don’t have a use for the wood clippings, you can contact us at Koubsky Tree Service. We may be able to remove the wood clippings from your property and dispose of them properly.

In conclusion, there are a number of ways to use the wood clippings from your trees, depending on the type of tree and the condition of the wood. Some options include using it as mulch, firewood, wood chips, and even for woodworking projects. However, if you don’t have a use for the wood clippings, contact us at Koubsky Tree Service for proper disposal.
