    I do the same thing and I learned from Paul. I have several acres and I mulch with them, garden with them, use them in the chicken coop, around my orchard and use them for a large parking area on my property. I was actually thinking of using them on my driveway which is 700 ft long. The best part is they are FREE!!!👍

    We have been doing it for three years. Love it it's free and it works. We have a 20×200 side road by the house that works. Every year I put another six inches down. Good to go for another year.

    Perfect! I have a ton of branches on my lot from clearing it out and a long dirt driveway all I need now is a wood chipper.

    Thank you so much!! We were looking at gravel and it was so expensive and not sustainable. :)

    If you really get into wood chips, look up Jean Pain, there's a freely downloadable book of his. Using a roller to compact the chips can stave off the weeds a bit longer. BTW, yard looks great, thanks for sharing - Living in the "06 ZipCode" too.. Subscribed as well.

    Hey Danny. Ive been considering this too. I live in upstate NY. What was your experience like during winters? I figure that wood chip driveway would be higher in temp (since its actually composting underneath) therefore would be faster melt when snow and ice accumulate... thanks for posting your experience.

      The wood chips have been great. Keeps weeds down and no mud. Plowing can be challenging, however if you raise the plow and leave a 2”-3” layer of snow it you’re good. I’ll make a update video right now.

    great. has anyone tried a woodchip driveway instead of gravel? I've been trying to search the result/review.

      Douglas Kim I watched a video where a guy had a 1 year old wood chip driveway, and he said it worked good! You just have to add more chips every so often. I’m going to add wood chips to about 400ft of path back to my sawmill site! I don’t want to pay for gravel, and the tree companies love getting rid of their chips!

      no we didnt use cardboard just wood chips, if the weeds come through just lay down a little more chips! I am still very happy using the wood chips for this application!
