Typically the chipping crew can complete requests within one week, however, due to fire assignments and variable crew size, please allow up to three weeks. This service is available in Spring through the Fall months.

Please note the following guidelines when requesting this service:

  • Piles must be curbside and easily accessible.
  • The branch diameter cannot exceed 6 inches.
  • Pile must not contain stumps, roots, garbage, nails, lumber, or pine cones.
  • Pile must not exceed 20 feet in length, 6 feet in height, and 6 feet in width.
  • We do not chip commercial piles.

Chips will be left on-site and can be spread around the property for landscaping or erosion control, but not within 5 feet of a structure. If you spread the chips within 30 feet of a structure, ensure that noncombustible areas, such as dirt, rock, or pathways separate mulch beds. Also, mulched areas should not contain highly flammable vegetation.
