Wood Chip Cleanup

What This Service Involves

Splitting and bucking throw off a surprising volume of chips that scatter across the ground and work their way into gravel and grass. In the wet Northwest climate those chips decompose and turn into a muddy, cluttered mess if left alone. Our crew rakes and scoops the fragments from the splitting zone and any spots where they have drifted. We leave the work area clean and level so it is ready for your next batch of processing.

Benefits

Clears cluttered splitting zones for safer footing; keeps chips from decomposing into mud; prevents fragments from spreading into lawns and beds; tidies gravel and paved surfaces; readies the area for the next round of work

Our Process

1) Identify the splitting zone and any drift areas; 2) Rake the chips into manageable piles; 3) Scoop and load the material for removal; 4) Level and tidy the cleared surface

What Affects the Cost

Volume of chips and fragments present; surface type and how embedded the chips are; size of the affected area; travel and access to the work zone; whether chips are hauled off or repurposed as mulch

Best Time of Year

Anytime after a big splitting session, with spring being popular once winter processing wraps up and the ground firms.
