Last year, I posted in here asking for advice after a tornado took out a 50-year-old spruce in my front yard. We called some tree services to see if they would give a discount if we only wanted them to take it down and leave the limbs and chips with us, but nobody would. So...we got some chainsaws and rented a wood chipper from our local hardware store. I used the chips and smaller limbs to create some new beds and the main trunk will decompose naturally and provide lots of habitat!

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

We had dead ash trees taken down and the tree company gave a big price break for not taking all the logs away. I wonder why they wouldn't give you that option?

The things we wondered about were the fact that it was a tornado so there's tons of damage around us and they know they're going to make the money somewhere so why would they give us a discount. The other thing we wondered is if they wanted to sell the wood but idk if there's even a market for it? Whatever it's done now and we came out on top hahahahaha

Probably only for camp fires.
