Wood Chipping in Oshkosh

Wood chipping has many advantages, and Viking Tree Service can explain them all! We are a full-service tree care company, which means that we offer start-to-finish care and services for all your trees and even some services that will benefit other parts of your property as well. 
​
Viking Tree Service uses professional wood chippers to grind down trees and tree stumps. This machinery is not available to individuals, so it stands to reason that the job will be much easier for us that it would be if you tried to do it on your own! 

The equipment needed to do wood chipping on large limbs, entire trees, or tree stumps still in the ground is also extremely dangerous and should only be operated by highly trained professionals. This is not the kind of equipment that will give you a minor injury. It moves fast, and it can be deadly. Don’t risk your personal safety trying to operate one of these powerful machines, especially if you’ve never done it before! Trust the experts and Viking Tree Service instead! 

The Obvious Advantage

Our wood chipping services are perfect for anyone who has an unwanted tree or stump on their property. With our high-powered equipment, we can chip even a large tree or stump in no time! For these people, the obvious benefit is getting rid of the tree or stump around their home or business. 

Trees that have fallen or stumps that are left behind after trees have been cut down are breeding grounds for pests, including bees, ants, and other bugs. As the tree or stump rots, it can also develop diseases, fungi, and bacteria that can infect healthy trees and plants around them. Therefore, it’s a good idea to have the fallen trees or stumps in your yard chipped before they have a chance to develop any of these problems. 

Other Benefits of Wood Chipping

Viking Tree Service can do wood chipping right there in your yard and provide you with the chips, commonly known as mulch, so that you can use them any way you please. 

Many people use mulch in their gardens, flower beds, and along walking paths. Mulch, because it is made from wood, is durable and can last much longer and look better than store-bought products used for the same purposes. Mulch also smells great without being too overpowering for your outdoor areas. 

Mulching, the practice of placing wood chips on the surface of the soil around plants, shrubs and trees, has many healthful benefits for the plants. Here are a few: 

• Holds moisture near the plant’s roots

When mulching is done correctly, the wood chips can help your plants conserve precious moisture, especially during a dry spell. Wood chips should be placed around trees, but not touching the tree’s trunk or base so that it does not develop mold or rot. 

• Reduces the ability of weeds to grow up around your plants 

Mulch blocks out weeds’ ability to grow, keeping your trees and shrubs looking neat without constant weeding! This will alleviate the need for harsh chemical weed killers or that pesky plastic that you never can seem to place in a solid layer. 

• Improves the soil

By delivering nutrients directly to the plants’ roots, mulch makes your plants healthier. It also improves the overall quality of the soil, making it healthier for your trees over a longer period of time, and a better place for other plants and flowers to grow. 

• Keeps the soil loose 

Wood chipping produces small pieces of mulch that will actually work themselves into the soil over time. When they eventually disintegrate, they will leave spaces in the soil, making it looser and not so compacted. This is good for the tree roots that are present in the soil and for any other plants you plan on placing in the general vicinity. 

• Looks great

This is another obvious benefit of wood chipping, but we’ll point it out anyway. The look of mulch can’t be denied. It gives your landscaping a finishing touch that is polished and professional looking, but it’s something you can do yourself, saving a lot of money! 

Viking Tree Service is proud to offer wood chipping services because it has so many positive benefits for our customers and their homes and businesses. We love the fact that wood chipping serves more than one purpose for almost all of our customers.
