Fine Cedar Play Chips is the finest grade of our cedar wood chips. Since cedar is naturally splinter free, this is what you typically see on playgrounds across the county or at the elementary schools. We are able to get this product certified for HOA’s, school districts, or even homeowners looking to save on liability insurance.
■ It is important to note that although cedar has a fantastic ability to naturally repel bugs, fleas, and other pests- it is also unfortunately great at repelling pollinators. This works well for play areas, but not for gardens. We do not recommend this wood chip for garden pathways, topping garden beds, or for use anywhere near flowering (and therefore pollinating) plants. However, most shrubbery and established non-fragile plants tend to not be affected by this issue.
■ Cedar is also commonly used for mopping up wet areas or for use in moisture retention but it is important to keep in mind that cedar also has a high potential for mold growth.
■ Note about animals: Cedar is a fantastic option for dog runs and other pet areas as it repels fleas and other pests and is a splinter-free wood, however it is important that this is not a closed-in area and there is plenty of ventilation since cedar can be very aromatic. Please keep in mind that cedar is not a safe option for chickens.
