WOOD CHIPPING SERVICES

Our focus is on making biomass accessible for soil-building for farmer.

What We Do — and Don’t Do

WE DO:

1. Wood chipping: We chip prepared woody material into useful biomass for soil building, mulching, and agricultural projects.

​

2. Support biomass reuse: Our focus is helping farmers and land stewards turn woody material into a resource rather than waste.

WE DON'T:

1. Chainsaw work: We do not cut, trim, or remove trees or branches.

​

2. Arborist or tree services: We are not arborists and do not provide tree assessments, removals, or other tree-care services.

​

3. Landscaping: We are not a landscaping or land-clearing service.

BENEFITS OF WOOD CHIPPING

Keep valuable resources on your land—not in the landfill.

  • Builds healthier soil by returning organic matter to the land

  • Creates mulch for moisture retention, weed suppression, and erosion control

  • Supports composting and regenerative farming practices

  • Reduces hauling, dump fees, and landfill waste

  • Lowers fire risk by managing excess green waste

  • Promotes a full-circle system: chip it, use it, return it to the soil

PREPING FOR WOOD CHIPPING

Once your service is booked, please have your wood ready before arrival.

​

Not sure if your material or site is ready? We offer a $50 site visit to assess the material and access and let you know what needs to be prepared before booking. Contact us.

PREPPING WOOD

  • Lay branches in long rows (not piles)

  • Place all butt ends facing the same direction

  • Keep rows about 3–4 branches wide for smooth feeding

  • ​​Do not stack or tangle material—piles slow down the process

SIZE & ACCESS

  • Maximum branch diameter: 10”

  • Make sure the crew has clear access for equipment and workflow

WOOD CHIP LOCATION

  • Decide where you’d like the chip pile placed

  • Consider wind direction: chipper should be positioned upwind of the chip drop zone

  • Our operator feeds the machine, and extra helping hands are always appreciated.
