Wood Chips

Wood Chips

Wood chips are a natural, versatile organic material that brings practical benefits and a rustic, natural look to your landscape. Hello Gravel offers wood chips delivery by the cubic yard, brought to your property by dump truck — making it easy to cover large areas without the hassle of bagged material.

Our wood chips are coarser and more textured than traditional shredded mulch, giving them a natural, woodland aesthetic that works beautifully in naturalistic landscape designs. Their larger size means they break down more slowly than fine mulch, providing longer-lasting coverage and extending the time between applications.

Common Uses for Wood Chips

• Wood chips are a top choice for mulching around trees, shrubs, and garden beds. When spread 2 to 4 inches deep, they suppress weed growth by blocking sunlight from reaching the soil surface — reducing the time you spend pulling weeds and the money you spend on herbicides. They also retain soil moisture, reducing watering frequency during dry periods and helping plants stay healthy between rains.
• Homeowners use wood chips for covering naturalized areas, creating informal garden pathways, and mulching around the base of trees where grass won't grow. Their cushioned, textured surface makes them a popular choice for play areas and around garden structures.
• As wood chips break down over time, they add organic matter back into the soil, improving its structure, drainage, and nutrient content — a long-term benefit that goes beyond surface coverage. This makes them an especially smart choice for areas where you're working to build soil health over multiple seasons.
• Wood chips also work well for covering utility areas, dog runs, and side yards where bare soil would otherwise create a muddy or dusty mess.

Why Order Wood Chips Delivery from Hello Gravel?

Hello Gravel's wood chips delivery means you get bulk material at your door by dump truck — no loading bags, no multiple store trips. Order your cubic yardage online and we handle the delivery so you can focus on the project.

How Much Wood Chips Do You Need?

Not sure how much to order? A good rule of thumb is that one cubic yard covers roughly 100 square feet at about 3 inches deep. Hello Gravel's team can help you calculate the right amount for your project — just reach out with your square footage and we'll give you a quick estimate. It's always better to order a little extra than to run short mid-project.

Our goal is to make the buying process for gravel and other aggregates as easy and seamless as possible. Enter your zip code on our site, select how much material you need (see below FAQ’s to determine order size), select the date and time frame you would like your material delivered at Checkout, and place your order with any major credit card. After the order is placed our in-house support team will contact you to confirm the details. We will send additional confirmations on the day before and the day of delivery. On delivery day, a dump truck will arrive to dump the materials at your specified location. We request that you have someone available to accept the delivery so that we can make sure to dump it in the correct location. That’s it!

We do not offer installation or spreading services as part of our material delivery.  However, depending on the location, site conditions, weather, and comfortability of the driver, we may be able to tailgate spread the material if the driver feels the location and conditions are suitable.

This involves slowly moving the truck forward while dumping the material to make it easier to distribute, but is not a guaranteed service.
