The town has a quiet, rural feel, helped along by the Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary and plenty of open land near the commuter rail stop. Many Norfolk homes sit on larger, wooded lots with long driveways, so orders here often run bigger than average.

In Norfolk, wide natural beds along wooded edges mean customers often order several yards at once. For that reason, wood chips is a regular order in Norfolk. 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 Norfolk 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 Norfolk 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 Norfolk job of about 900 square feet needs roughly 8.5 yards at 3 inches, or 11 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 Norfolk, MA

1. Book the load. Call or send a quote request with the amount of wood chips and your Norfolk address.

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.

When to order wood chips in Norfolk

Most Norfolk 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.
