Күн бұрын

This video explains the major pitfalls that ChipDrop users might experience if they don't realize what they're signing up for.
This isn't your normal store-bought mulch. There are leaves, pine needles, candy wrappers, straws, unchipped brush, and sometimes logs in the loads. This is typical of any load of arborist wood chips.
This is by far the best mulch you can get, and it's free. Your garden will love you for ordering your ChipDrop. Just be sure you know what you're getting into before you sign up. We don't want you to be bummed out when you get home to a giant pile of wood chips blocking your driveway.

True.. there was no notice, and I was on my way out when the chipdrop guy pulled up and said, "where do you want it?" It bothered me at first but I'm a procrastinator and now I have a massive pile of ficus tree mulch. I was forced to deal with it because it smelled like decomposing greens and it started to steam. I was forced to deal with it and as a result, my project is almost done. In the end, I'm actually really happy with chipdrop and welcome the inconvenience. lol.

I've had 2 drops in the past month. The first batch was pristine pine and maple wood chips that smelled amazing. The second drop was lots of branches and other detritus but I have an area that is very eroded so I am 'chipping' away at filling that area with 5-6 layer. I am very pleased with ChipDrop. I even ordered a hat. It does seem to make the delivery faster if you tip.

@VeracityHabit
@VeracityHabit 2 жыл бұрын
@@thefitzs I wouldn't worry too much about it, but it's always a good idea to add compost before your woochip layer for plants with shallow roots. Just be sure not too mulch over the root ball to ensure your plants and trees don't suffocate. If you skipped the compost step, they may not perform as well this year, but will recover and do better the years to come. Once you have a nice broken down layer, you can pile on more each year without worry. Again, be sure not to pile too thick around the base of your plants/trees.

While I did sign up, I was able to flag down an arborist from the street and they dumped two loads two weeks apart, so I ended up not having to order through Chipdrop. I would not even have tried this had I not seen these videos to help me understand what I was getting in to. But my neighbors have noticed how much the appearance of my yard has improved, and they want to sign up as well. Once I get the 25 cu yd or so of delivered woodchips & ct. spread through my yard/lot, I might ask for a third load--there are a lot of places where a nice layer of wood chip mulch will help suppress weeds and keep the plantings looking fresh and neat. The chips are easy to move with a wheelbarrow, and I can get 15-20 wheelbarrows moved before I need to take a break. Interesting point today: We had some rain recently and the latest drop was kinda wet already. As I was shoveling some into the wheelbarrow, I noticed that the pile was steaming. The decomposition is starting already!

Around the house it's deeper because the house is elevated about 2' above grade, and it's got room. Plus it smothers the weeds and unifies the entire yard with the same "look."

We have gotten about 8 loads over the past 2 years and they are always excellent. The drivers are great. The quality is excellent! I want the pine needles and leaves mixed in to add nutrients as it breaks down. It is true that even the "small loads" can be onerous if you live on a 1/4 acre lot (we don't) Like they suggested in the video, the neighborhood can all split a load if you have a driveway or spot for it to be dumped where everyone can get to it. Like @GoGreenCompost said, we have mulched our shrubs and trees, repaired erosion, created a really nice compost pile and greatly improved our garden soil (which was solid red clay).

I had a drop a few weeks ago and for the most part I am happy with it. It looked like I got two separate dumps. The first pile was real nice fine stuff, great for my composting but the second pile was not dumped as just a pile, it was a long row dump and their chipper needed to be sharpened real bad. That part was no good for my composting, it was all real big chips and not really chips, it was mostly shredded in long pieces, long sticks and chunks. I am loading my Johnson Su Bioreactors with the fine stuff but all I can use the rest for is to cover walkways and such and it's nasty looking enough that the walkways will not look very good. If all I got was the not so nice second part of the load I don't think I would order anymore chip drops. I have an older craftsman wood chipper shredder I was thinking of putting some of the nasty stuff through but I don't think it will do any better and would take forever. In my opinion if arborists are going to be part of the chip drop program they need to keep their chippers sharp so that the home owners and businesses can use all of the product that is dropped. I realize that they warn you about what you will get but I think some arborists need to keep their equipment in better condition. I did get notification in my e-mail not long before they delivered it and another saying it was delivered not long after it was. I was not expecting that.

Thanks for sharing about this. Please shoot us an email with pictures of the material if you haven't already. We'd like to take a look at it and verify the quality. We do hold the arborists up to some level of quality in regards to the wood chips and how fine they should be chipped. Long, stringy chips is usually a sign of a poorly adjusted chipper that needs service. That said, one person's definition of long-stringy is usually different from another's, so we like to see some pictures of the material just to verify what we're talking about.

After a long wait, I got a load of chips in January 2021 that was perfect. I am not exaggerating (wouldn't do that). Just want to encourage home owners and others to get free compostable wood chips since they so greatly benefit the soil that benefit the plants we appreciate (and eat!).

For sure! The size of the loads is a common issue for folks. If you're looking for a smaller load, also check out our ChipDrop Network, soon to be the ChipDrop Neighborhood, where you can share wood chips with your neighbors. It makes dealing with a whole truck load of wood chips a bit more manageable.

I got my second chipdrop recently. They sent me an email stating, "within 48 hours, you'll receive your chipdrop." It was less than 12 hours later I received my 3 year supply of free wood chips. Lol. I'm hoping my neighbors will ask if they can have some. I really don't need this much, but that's a risk I am totally willing to take. Only waited a few weeks both times. If you haven't done it yet, take the risk, cause it's worth it.

It’s not always like that. Remember context. I deliver hundreds of loads of chips annually and people ask for more. We don’t have the luxury of dropping partial amounts because we have to get back to the job and we can’t close the tailgate and if we could the load is off balance. Chip Dump has helped tons of people and tree companies alike.

I wish! I moved to the Arizona desert and there aren't many tree services out here, I guess because there aren't as many trees. Apparently there are no tree services who have signed up at Chip Drop, so it's not an option here. :( I contacted one tree service and asked about getting chips, and they said they charge $100 for a load. And a friend I spoke with said he asked a tree company about chips, and they said they charge $300 for a load of chips! When I lived in NW WA, I used to be able to get free wood chips just about any time I wanted them. Oh well..

I'm quite disappointed that ChipDrop isn't working for me. I've had requests out for the last 18 month. Appealing to anyone and everyone for a 'drop' but not a single chip has come. I was offering up to $200 bucks at one point (20 is the recommended amount). When I reached out I was told that I was in one of their busiest areas (Western WA) and that everything with my profile and request looked good. Quite disappointed, as I could use around 200 yards (1 acre, Back to Eden-ish) and am willing to pay for it.

When calling arborist, I found it very difficult to get chips dropped. The first time it worked the second just a bunch of we will put you on the list and never heard back. With chip drop it went very well.I had a couple of them call me before they wanted to make delivery. Yes their was the occasional wrapper in their . The key is to leave a tip and tell them to have the driver call before delivery.

Misleading video, my "mulch" drop from FJR TREE INC consisted of about 30% destroyed plywood and construction wood debris. It was hell to clean it up, I regret my decision to trust ChipDrop. I provided pictures to Kat from ChipDrop, but no response, not even a ticket number, honestly I don't think you care. Nice damage control video though. I'll probably make one too with the mountain of plywood debris that sits in my backyard.
