What Happens to the Wood Chips?

After grinding, you'll have a neat pile of fresh wood chips on your property. You have two easy options:

  • Keep the chips — Many Waterloo homeowners use them as natural mulch around flower beds, garden borders, or trees. The chips help suppress weeds, hold in moisture during our hot Iowa summers, and improve soil over time.

  • We haul them away — For an additional fee, we'll load and responsibly remove the chips. We recycle them into premium mulch, donate to local farms or community gardens in the Cedar Valley, or deliver them to municipal composting sites.

Either choice leaves your yard looking neat and professional with minimal disruption.
