Wood Chips delivery in Bellingham, MA

The Charles River and Silver Lake run through town, and many homes sit on generous lots with room for big projects. Because many Bellingham lots are large, orders for loam, mulch and stone often come in several yards at a time.

In Bellingham, large lots with long bed lines mean mulch is often ordered by the truckload rather than by the yard. For that reason, wood chips is a regular order in Bellingham. In short, our Natural Wood Chips is undyed chipped wood for paths, natural areas and wide beds, and it is sold by the cubic yard.

Why Bellingham customers choose our wood chips

These are chipped pieces of wood rather than shredded bark. Because the pieces are larger and flatter, the layer is loose and airy. As a result, water drains through easily and the surface stays firm to walk on.

The color starts light tan to honey brown and weathers to silver gray over time. That natural aging is part of the appeal, since chips blend into woods and meadows instead of standing out.

How much wood chips does a Bellingham project need?

First, measure the area in feet and multiply length by width. Then multiply by the depth in inches and divide by 324. The result is cubic yards, which is how we sell wood chips. Wood chips settle more than fine mulch, so plan on 3 inches for beds and closer to 4 inches for paths.

For example, a typical Bellingham job of about 1,200 square feet needs roughly 11 yards at 3 inches, or 15 yards at 4 inches. Still, round up by half a yard for edges and settling. Or call (774) 372-1050, and we will check the math before the truck is loaded.

Delivery or pickup for Bellingham, MA

We deliver wood chips in Bellingham, MA by truck, placing the pile where you want it. Most Bellingham driveways handle our trucks well. Still, tell us about gates, pools or septic areas near the drop spot so the driver can avoid them.

1. Book the load. Call or send a quote request with the amount of wood chips and your Bellingham address.
2. Pick the drop spot. Next, choose firm, open ground close to the work area, clear of wires and branches.
3. Protect the surface. Then lay a tarp or plywood on pavement, so cleanup takes minutes.
4. Meet the truck. Finally, the driver calls ahead and places the pile as close to your spot as the ground safely allows.

Picking up at the yard

For Bellingham customers, the yard is a short highway drive east, so contractors often pick up between jobs. As a rule, a full-size pickup carries about 2 to 3 yards of this material safely. So check your payload rating, and bring a tarp for the ride back to Bellingham.

When to order wood chips in Bellingham

Most Bellingham homeowners mulch in spring, after cleanup and before summer heat. So April and May are the busiest weeks for wood chips deliveries. However, fall is a smart second window, because a fresh layer protects roots through winter. In other words, booking early in spring usually gets you a better delivery day.

How to lay wood chips

1. Mark the path. Stake out the edges of the path or area first. Then cut or pull the grass inside the lines.
2. Add an edge. On paths, a simple edge of stone or timber helps. It keeps chips out of the lawn.
3. Consider fabric. For paths, landscape fabric underneath slows weeds. In beds, however, most people skip it.
4. Spread thick. Dump chips along the route and rake to 3 or 4 inches. Next, walk it to settle the layer.
5. Top up yearly. Finally, add an inch or so each year as the chips break down.
