At DH Tree Services, our comprehensive solutions are made possible by the experience of our team and fantastic tools at our disposal. One of our largest pieces of machinery is our tree chipper. You can even see it in action when our team went Christmas tree chipping at the Princess Alice Hospice in Esher.
Whether you’re clearing fallen branches from your garden or need to dispose of lots of debris after pruning, tree chipping machines allow us to manage waste efficiently. Here’s everything you need to know about this sustainable tree care solution.
What is tree chipping?
Tree chipping is how we turn branches, deadwood and other tree debris into small wood chips using a special machine called a wood chipper. These powerful machines have a motor and sharp blades that shred large branches into uniform pieces within seconds. This process is an essential element of tree care, particularly after large-scale pruning, storm clean-ups or tree removals, recycling the leftover debris.
What is wood chipping good for?
Wood chips produced by our tree chipping machine have lots of practical applications rather than just producing waste. For example, it can be used for mulching garden beds and the area around trees. This helps the soil retain moisture, regulate its temperature and suppress weeds. Wood chips are also beloved in landscaping, producing attractive pathways or covering muddy spots outside.
At DH Tree Services, we’re passionate about reducing our carbon footprint and helping others do the same, promoting a more sustainable approach to tree waste disposal. While highly practical, wood chipping is also environmentally friendly, recycling organic material that would otherwise end up in landfill.
How do our tree chipping machines work?
Our tree chipping machines are the most efficient way to deal with old branches and tree debris. The first step is to safely feed the tree waste into our tree chipper’s large hopper. Inside, engine-powered blades chop the debris into small pieces of the same size. Rest assured, all our tree chipping machines have robust safety features, like automatic shut-offs and feed controls.
The chipped wood is expelled through the machine’s chute, straight into our vehicles. It can be used immediately by the client, or we can take it away and store it for use on another project or stack it to produce mulch.
What are the benefits of tree chipping services?
Professional tree chipping services have several benefits, including speed and cost. Wood chippers can handle large volumes of tree debris quickly, saving time and effort compared to manual disposal options. Tree chipping also reduces the volume of waste, lowering disposal costs on large-scale projects.
Most of all, tree chipping can improve site safety, especially where large branches may cause safety hazards if left unattended. Professional wood chipping services ensure tree materials are processed and removed fast.
