Have you checked out Chip Drop (https://getchipdrop.com/). It's free and delivered.
I've used it several times and it is great. You have to be willing to take a whole truck load.

Hello,

I'm working with a group on the Sunshine coast who have limited access to quality mulch (in the needed quantity) to ue around their planted trees & shrubs. They would have access to:

*       Wood shavings from a local mill comprised of fir and hemlock plus
some cedar & hardwood.
*       Bark mulch
*       Coarse wood chips

Any recommendations as to the preferable choice?

Thanks very much,

Laura Cottle

I would recommend using coarse wood chips as long as they are free of any oil or dyes.
