Mulching & Chipping in Harkaway

Mulching & Chipping in Harkaway: Local Conditions and What That Means for Your Property

On-site chipping is the standard approach in Harkaway because the volumes of material generated from avenue tree pruning and paddock-edge clearing make off-site disposal impractical. Chipped material from oak and elm pruning is good quality mulch for garden beds, and estate properties typically have large enough bed areas to absorb several cubic metres per visit. Mulch applied to the root zones of avenue trees on exposed ridge positions helps retain soil moisture and reduce summer heat stress, particularly relevant for younger replacement trees in established avenues that haven't developed the root depth of their neighbours yet.
