Default Sawdust as mulch

My husband needs sawdust for a building project and will have a lot left
over. Is sawdust suitable to use for a mulch to keep weeds down under
quaking aspen?

Won't the sawdust be apt to blow away? I would think you'd need a pretty
thick pile to inhibit weeds from pushing through from below. I'd also be
concerned about insects and nitrogen leeching, but I really don't know
anything.
