Introduction
Welcome to our section, which provides general information about the various types of garden products classified as wood chippings. This group of natural decorative aggregates is economical, sustainable and fully bio-degradable. Useful in so many different ways, ranging from uses for pathways and border mulches right through to children's play areas and equestrian surfaces, there really isn't much they cannot do outdoors.
While there are two primary base materials, wood from the inner part of the tree and bark from the outer part, there are many common variations of wood chippings products sold to the public. All of them have their unique abilities and qualities that can make certain varieties more suitable to specific tasks, which can be confusing. But have no fear; it is part of Outdoor Aggregates' mission to demystify the general nomenclature surrounding all decorative aggregates to help you find the right type of materials best suited to your needs.
So if it's some kind of naturally-made ground cover you're after, one that returns nutrients to the soil whilst protecting your garden and suppressing weeds, you are in the right place to find out more about these wonderful, life-giving products.
