Had to have a tree taken out a few days ago

The bloke who excavated the tree roots managed to spray wood chips across
the garden bed and over an adjacent pebble garden.


Don't pay him until he fixes it up.
Got to watch these tree people.

We had a tree people come in to prune back the large fig tree a few
years back. We wanted only the branches near the fence taken away.
When the gardener found out it was a fig tree he asked for a few
cuttings, we thought he was only going to get cuttings from the
branches at the back which hardly produce any figs but he took them
from the front, the best side where the best figs were and it took a
number of the better branches.


My problem: how do I get the chips out of the pebble garden?

Should I also remove them from the garden bed?


How big is the area ?
Maybe before ot rains you can blow them out ?


Thanks,

Harold.
