Arborist Chip – Kapiti Branch

This ‘forest floor’ type mulch is one of the best options for use around trees and shrubs.

Arborist chip has superior moisture retention, temperature moderation and weed control properties.  Left to decompose naturally, the nutrients contained within are slowly released.

Used with contrasting landscape textures such as stone, rocks and greenery, arborist chip can be an an integral part of a beautiful, yet low maintenance garden setting.

For sandy soils, add a nutrient-rich compost layer prior to covering with arborist chip, to maximise water retention.
