What is Woodchip?
Woodchip is a natural, sustainable material made from small, shredded wood pieces. It is widely used in landscaping, gardening, and playgrounds for both decorative and functional purposes. Woodchip provides excellent ground cover, helps retain moisture, and is an eco-friendly alternative to other mulching materials.
Applications of Woodchip:
Landscaping and Mulching: Used as a mulch around plants and trees to help retain moisture, control weeds, and improve soil quality.
Playgrounds and Paths: Ideal for creating safe, cushioned surfaces for playgrounds, walking paths, and garden trails.
Garden Beds: Helps improve soil structure and drainage while acting as a natural weed suppressant.
Erosion Control: Provides stability and helps prevent soil erosion in exposed areas, especially on slopes or embankments.
Benefits of Woodchip:
Eco-Friendly: Made from recycled wood materials, woodchip is a sustainable and renewable option.
Moisture Retention: Helps retain soil moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering.
Weed Control: Acts as a natural weed barrier, keeping your garden beds tidy and healthy.
Safety and Cushioning: Soft and safe for children, making it an excellent choice for playgrounds and outdoor play areas.
