Tree removal by Trout Brook Landscaping
Let me tell you a little about the tree business here in West Hartford. Tree work requires careful workers, expensive equipment and resources to recycle debris generated. Nothing is wasted in our tree removal, from logs turning into lumber to turning branches into mulch. It just makes financial sense to recycle. Did you know that on the west coast in America, trash is sold by the pound wholesale in empty container ships returning to China. The ships bring in finished products, and instead of returning with empty containers, fill them with Californian trash. Chinese companies recycle everything in our trash: plastic, engines parts, furniture Hiring laborers for 50 cents an hour, they find a lot of value in American trash. The profit motive is a great motivation to recycle. And the tree business is certainly no exception. Here at Trout Brook Landscaping, we recycle all the waste we generate.
Some species of trees are valuable to sawmills and are turned into lumber, veneer, or flooring. Many types of common West Hartford trees make desirable wood products: Black walnut, Red oak, Cherry, sugar maple. Finished product from one tree can fetch thousands of dollars. But you need the heavy machinery, time, and a sawmill to create it! This is a great way to recycle old trees. Unfortunately, most trees do not have the solid, straight trunks needed to be turned to lumber...
For the rest of the logs, we either truck it to the dumpsite to be ground into mulch, or we split it into firewood. One ton of firewood produces the same heat in a home as 60 gallons of heating oil. Firewood is much cheaper than oil per unit of heat produced
Lastly, to recycle branches, we use a 9 inch chipper and chip into our dump truck. We bring the chips to a dumpsite, such as envirocycle, where it is also ground up further "cooked" in a huge pile, and sold as mulch next year. Using a chipper saves hours of labor. It also lowers the dumping fee. Sometimes we can even sell our chips to people who request it.
We NEVER go to the landfill with our tree debris, so there is no real waste. And you may even reuse your own tree in a couple years as flooring, or firewood, or mulch!
