Wood chips will actually break down and add nutrients over time to the soil. As far as drainage goes, you can always just stick some wooden dowels into the ground next to the tree trunks. Think of these like giant chop sticks and pull them out now and then to check for moisture at root depth. After a few weeks you'll know from observation how much to water to assure penetration.
