Default Wood chippings as mulch

Hi,
I've spent today "pruning" a large tree and now have a mountain of
branches. In the past I have used wood chippings from shredded branches
around the base of our hedges and trees down the side of the garden and my
ferns and shrubs all seem to enjoy the mulch (in places it's 6 inches deep).
Once I get my trusty shredder going over the next few days, I intend putting
the chippings down on a large bed of hebes, berberis, cotoneaster and
azalea in another part of our garden. Would these benefit? I would be
grateful for advice on this course of action,

regards,

David

PS it was a cracking day today, I could hear the grass
growing.................
