Wood Chips

Wood chips can be used as a protective ground cover or decoration. The chips are made from old pallets, construction lumber, and logs that have been ground to a size of one inch or less.

At the Miramar Greenery, natural, plain, red, and brown wood chips are available.*

While every effort has been made to remove any contamination including metals, nails, etc. from these wood chips, trace amounts of contamination may occasionally be present in the finished product.

*Please note: Once the dye is set on the colored wood chips it is "permanently adhered" to the colored wood chips. However, chemical solvents, for example pesticides, may dissolve the dye causing it to no longer be water soluble.

How It's Made

Plain and colored wood chips are made from dimensional lumber and pallets.
