I am getting a tree cut down.
Is it true these tree cutters make mulch out of the trees and sell
them for profit?
I got $450 for a maple that is about 10 feet tall.
Does that sound like a reasonable price?


About here mulch is considered a waste product that has tipping fees.
I had to go out of my way to find people chipping and ask to have it
dropped. Now I get called. This over a ten year time frame.

Ten foot tree $450 insane. Dig it out by hand. Do you live under a
bridge ?

Ps There are chips and there are shredded wood. I prefer the first
with not two much green so I contact early and late. Pine is good any
time. Poison Ivy is bad any time.
