Arborist Chips from Aardvark Bark Blowing: Enhancing Your Landscape

At Aardvark Bark Blowing, we’re proud to offer Arborist Chips as one of our premier landscaping products, serving Seattle, Bellevue, and the greater Puget Sound region. Sourced directly from local arborists, our Arborist Chips are a sustainable, versatile, and cost-effective solution for enhancing your garden, pathways, or outdoor spaces. As a leading bark blower and playground surface provider in Washington, we understand the value of high-quality materials that support both aesthetics and environmental health.

What Are Arborist Chips?

Arborist Chips are coarse, untreated wood chips sourced from local arborists in the Seattle area. These chips consist of native trees and tree parts, including chipped and unchipped material such as bark, branches, and foliage. Unlike processed mulches, Arborist Chips are a natural byproduct of tree care, making them an eco-friendly choice for landscaping.

This raw, organic material is ideal for a variety of landscaping applications, from trail surfacing to protective plant mulch. Its coarse texture and natural composition make it a standout choice for Bellevue homeowners, Seattle businesses, and King County landscapers looking to improve soil health and enhance outdoor spaces.

Benefits of Using Arborist Chips

Arborist Chips from Aardvark Bark Blowing offer multiple benefits for your landscape, combining practicality with environmental stewardship. Here are the key advantages:

1. Effective Protective Plant Mulch

One of the primary uses of Arborist Chips is as a protective plant mulch. When spread around trees, shrubs, or garden beds, these chips create a natural barrier that helps retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and protect plant roots. In Seattle’s temperate climate, where heavy rains and fluctuating temperatures are common, Arborist Chips provide a buffer that keeps plants healthy year-round. By reducing evaporation, they ensure your Bellevue or Kirkland garden stays hydrated, even during dry summer months.

2. Erosion Control

Erosion control is a critical concern for Puget Sound properties, especially on sloped landscapes or near water bodies like Lake Washington. Arborist Chips are an excellent tool for stabilizing soil and preventing erosion. Their coarse texture anchors soil in place, reducing runoff during Seattle’s rainy season. Whether you’re landscaping a Mercer Island hillside or a Redmond backyard, applying Arborist Chips helps maintain the integrity of your terrain, protecting both your property and the local ecosystem.

3. Soil Compaction Reduction

Heavy foot traffic or machinery can compact soil, harming plant roots and hindering growth. Arborist Chips reduce soil compaction by creating a cushioned layer that absorbs impact. This is particularly valuable for Seattle parks, Bellevue community gardens, or Issaquah trails, where heavy use is common. By spreading Arborist Chips, you preserve soil structure, allowing roots to access oxygen and nutrients more effectively.

4. Versatile Trail Surfacing

For King County homeowners or municipalities creating pathways, Arborist Chips serve as an affordable and natural trail surfacing material. Their coarse texture provides a stable, non-slip surface that’s ideal for garden paths, park trails, or backyard walkways. In Seattle’s green spaces or Bellevue’s suburban yards, Arborist Chips offer a rustic, eco-friendly alternative to gravel or concrete, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings.

5. Sustainable and Locally Sourced

Sustainability is at the heart of Aardvark Bark Blowing’s mission. Our Arborist Chips are sourced from local arborists in the Seattle area, reducing the carbon footprint associated with transportation. By repurposing tree care byproducts, we contribute to a circular economy that benefits both the environment and King County communities. Choosing Arborist Chips from Aardvark Bark means supporting local tree care professionals and minimizing waste.

6. Cost-Effective Landscaping Solution

As a special order product at Aardvark Bark Blowing, Arborist Chips are an economical choice for large-scale landscaping projects. Their natural, unprocessed nature keeps costs low compared to refined mulches or synthetic materials. Whether you’re covering a Bellevue estate’s garden beds or surfacing a Seattle community trail, Arborist Chips deliver high value without compromising quality.

How to Use Arborist Chips in Your Landscape

Arborist Chips are incredibly versatile, making them suitable for various applications in Bellevue, Seattle, and beyond. Here’s how you can incorporate them into your landscaping projects:

• Garden Mulching: Spread a 2-4 inch layer of Arborist Chips around plants to protect roots and retain moisture. Avoid piling chips directly against tree trunks or shrub stems to prevent rot, a best practice for Seattle gardeners.
• Trail and Pathway Creation: Use Arborist Chips to surface walking paths in Kirkland backyards or Sammamish parks. A 3-5 inch depth ensures durability and comfort underfoot.
• Erosion Control on Slopes: Apply Arborist Chips to sloped areas in Mercer Island or West Seattle to stabilize soil. Combine with native plants for enhanced erosion resistance.
• Play Area Surfacing: For Bellevue families or Seattle schools, Arborist Chips can complement playground surfaces, though our Certified Playground Chips may be better suited for safety compliance.

To order, simply call Aardvark Bark Blowing, as Arborist Chips are a special order product with specific pricing. Our bark blowing service delivers and installs the chips efficiently, saving you time and effort on King County projects.
