Normandy Park Top up cedar wood chips

Maintaining a beautiful yard in Normandy Park can be a challenge, especially with the city’s unique climate and seasonal changes. One common issue homeowners face is the depletion of cedar wood chips used for landscaping. Over time, these chips can break down, leading to bare spots that detract from your home’s curb appeal and can create safety hazards. Fortunately, topping up cedar wood chips is a simple and effective solution. This process not only enhances the visual appeal of your landscape but also provides benefits such as improved safety, eco-friendliness, and low-maintenance care.
