Took delivery of a bulk bag of play grade wood chips. Great quality product - dry, no inferior chips. Sensible delivery driver who a) could actually drive, b) didn't mither, and c) wasn't a misery guts. Worth paying a bit more for superior product promptly delivered.

Very impressed - the hardwood chips were good quality with no waste and offered at a good price compared to local suppliers. Delivery guy used by CPA was also spot on and managed to manoeuvre the 2 bags onto the drive so they were easily spread. Will be buying some more to top up once settled.

Delivered on time and where I wanted it by Palletways, who were very helpful. I ordered a large grab bag to use the material for a circular seating area within a log edging border. The bark has been well kept and was delivered dry - easy to handle, solid hardwood chips of a decent size. Plenty of spring in it. Would thoroughly recommend this product.

CPA were excellent. Helpful when I called to ask about the weight of individual bags so highly recommend and will use again as wood chips are needed every couple of years. The delivery driver however was clueless which caused a lot of inconvenience but I acknowledge that CPA have no control over that aspect of the overall customer experience.

Hardwood chips delivered early on day expected, always a hood sign. The product looks good and was what I expected, time will tell how durable it is but very hopeful. The garden raised beds look finished, less weeding and watering and the dogs feet should stay a lot cleaner…..what’s not to like. Just wish it wasn’t so expensive but CPA were quoting a better price than some suppliers.

Extremely pleased with the Play Grade Chips we ordered. A lovely quality product, soft but firm underfoot and with a good colour. Opted to buy in bags rather than the cheaper bulk bags for convenience of delivery and our ability to move the bags more easily to the end of the garden! Good service and a very competitive price and delivery charge. Arrived within the allocated delivery time. I wouldn’t hesitate to order from CPA in the future.

We have been really impressed with both the products and services of CPA Horticulture. Product was, for us, an order of their superb Hardwood Play Grade Wood Chips … we wanted these for both pathway lining and top-dressing of raised beds, and although we’ve only done the paths thus far it’s obvious it’s a quality product because no matter it gets rained on for weeks it retains its shape and doesn’t simply split, crack or disintegrate when walked on. The services side of things was shown by the superb delivery driver, who not only got the big rigid truck down a single track road to our place, but also managed to deliver the large load of wood chips onto the pebbled area of our front garden, keeping them out of the way until we took them round the back and poured them out as paths. Big thanks to the CPA team - top marks - 5/5!

Very happy with my delivery. We ordered through another company previously who were terrible and delivery drivers were the most unhelpful people on earth. CPA have the same policy as the other company but are extremely helpful and go out there way to try and help with the delivery. I can’t rate the driver we had enough so appreciate if that feedback can go back to his manager or company. The wood chip are high quality and worked very well in our child’s play area we ordered 4L worth for play chips and looks great!!

Delivered promptly with no moaning about our narrow rural lanes. Dry, really good quality hardwood chips. Took us no time to distribute them. The rescue hens love them and much nicer for us too than the mud we were all enduring. Not the cheapest but certainly the best quality and worth paying for.

Purchased pallet of 40 bags, quite large all stacked up but friendly delivery driver had no issues with his electric trolley. Nice and dry so light enough to move around and spread. Excellent quality, had these before but these seemed really good, lovely colour. Always a shame that no one wants pallets but good for us as cut up for kindling.

Great product for a good price. Delivered within a few days and the delivery driver was brilliant. I put some ply wood boards down on my gravel driveway so that he could move the pallets off the pavement. The electric pump truck didn’t like the uneven boards but the driver persevered until he was happy that he’d left the pallets in a good position, he definitely went that bit further!

We have ordered from CPA before and will continue to do so. Their service is very professional and delivery drivers have always been very friendly and helpful. We use these chippings for our hen runs and have found them excellent . With good hygiene practices they last for years . We also use it mulching around some perennial borders. Would absolutely recommend!

This is the second time we have ordered these chippings from the company and again, we were not disappointed. The service was excellent and delivery driver was very helpful in off loading bags to back door. This is a great product that we have used for several years in our covered chicken run and then moved old stuff into uncovered run. I have also used it for mulching around some perennial borders. Great product and will keep purchasing from CPA.
