@acnode id probably just pick them up by hand, anything mechanical I likely to collect your chips too. If it were a mulch such as compost I’d say leave them to brake down it’s good for the soil structure but appreciate in this instance they’re probably ruining the aesthetics

Just leave them there to rot down too?
