# How to Purchase Wood Chips
Wood chips are a low-cost way to improve the aesthetics of your lawn. They save in labor and are an energy-efficient option because the wood chips require less watering, fertilizing and mowing than grass. Incorporating wood chips as mulch in your landscape will reduce your lawn care costs and maintenance.
