Never drop wood chips in any of these places

As an arborist, please never drop wood chips in the following locations, even if specified by the owner:

• blocking a neighbor's driveway
• blocking a car in a driveway, unless the homeowner has said it's okay
• on a narrow or busy road such that the load spills out past where your truck would be if it were parked in that same place
• around the base of a tree or on top of obvious landscape plantings
• next to or on top of any piece of property or structure that could be damaged by the weight of the load
