Bulk Arborist Wood Chip Delivery in Seattle
Fresh, locally sourced material from our tree care operations — ideal for mulch, pathways, erosion control, and natural landscapes.
Recycling Seattle’s Trees into Useful Landscape Material
Seattle Tree Care produces large volumes of wood chips as part of our daily pruning and tree removal operations. Rather than sending this material to waste, we make it available for delivery to homeowners, landscapers, and property managers across the Seattle area.
These are fresh arborist chips, meaning the material is chipped directly from trees during our work and delivered without processing or screening.
Because of that, loads may include:
- Mixed wood species
- Bark and small branches
- Needles or leaves depending on the tree
- Variable chip size
Unlike bagged mulch sold in garden centers, this is natural, unprocessed material. For many landscapes, this is actually preferred because arborist chips break down gradually, add organic matter to soil, suppress weeds, and help retain moisture.
Material Types
Arborist Wood Chips
Arborist wood chips are a natural mulch produced when branches and limbs are chipped during routine tree pruning and removal work.
Best For:
- Garden beds
- Tree rings
- Soil improvement
- Natural landscape areas
- Erosion control
What to Expect
- Mixed species from local trees
- Chips typically 1–3 inches
- May contain leaves, needles, and bark
- Fresh, natural material
What This Is NOT
- Dyed mulch
- Uniform landscaping chips
- Screened decorative mulch
Hog Fuel
Hog fuel is a coarser wood product created from larger wood waste during tree processing. It is less uniform than arborist chips but works well for large coverage areas where appearance is less critical.
Best For:
- Walking paths
- Large landscape areas
- Erosion control
- Utility corridors
- Rural or natural settings
What to Expect
- Larger pieces of wood and bark
- Irregular chip size
- Fibrous or shredded wood
What to Know Before Ordering
Our wood products are generated from real tree work, not landscaping mills.
Because of this:
- Loads vary depending on the trees processed that day
- Chip size and species are not guaranteed
- Material may contain leaves, needles, or small twigs
- We cannot customize loads
If you are looking for decorative landscape mulch similar to bagged products, our arborist chips may not be the right material.
