Wood You Rather It Be Gone? Your Guide to Tree Removal Wood Hauling in Calgary

Introduction

A successful tree removal solves one problem, but then another looms: what to do with all that leftover wood? Not every Calgary homeowner wants to be a lumberjack – which is why understanding wood hauling is an essential part of the process. This blog dives into your options, common questions, and how Apex Tree Service LTD can provide tailored solutions with a focus on environmental responsibility.

Does My Tree Removal Include Wood Hauling?

While this factor varies, remember wood hauling usually entails additional costs because:

• Labor: Loading branches and logs is time-consuming.
• Transportation: Specialized trucks or trailers are needed.
• Disposal: Dumping or processing large amounts of wood has fees.

3 Main Options for Wood Disposal

Here's what most Calgary tree removal companies offer:

1. Hauling by Tree Service:  Most convenient! Companies like Apex Tree take the whole tree: trunk, branches, and all.
2. Leave on Property: If you have the space, desire firewood, or DIY projects in mind, you may get a reduced rate, BUT wood processing is up to you.
3. City Disposal: Calgary may offer wood drop-off points (sometimes for a fee), but you'll need your own way to transport the wood.

Q&A: What Happens to the Wood After Tree Removal?

• Q: "I don't want my tree turned into landfill waste! Does it get reused?"
• A: Absolutely! Companies with a focus on sustainability, such as Apex Tree, try to avoid landfills when possible. Wood can be turned into mulch, used for biomass energy, or even milled for lumber projects.
• Q: "Can I be picky about my wood's fate?"
• A: Definitely! Discussing disposal preferences up front with your tree company offers the best results. Many are happy to accommodate and work with your environmental or usage goals.
• Q: "Will the company do all the wood cutting for me?"
• A: This depends on agreements. Leaving wood unprocessed will be cheaper, while requesting firewood size pieces comes with a fee for the arborist's cutting time and effort.

Additional Factors Influencing Wood Hauling Price

• Tree Size and Quantity: Big trees equal more wood, raising hauling costs.
• Accessibility: Trees in tight spaces or without close truck access incur higher labor costs.
• Wood-Specific Requests: Special cuts or keeping specific logs requires extra time.

Your arborist has expertise beyond just cutting. With clear communication, you can find the best options such as:

• Which of your trees' wood has higher repurposing value
