Why do I have to pay for the wood to be removed when they are just going to sell it? You would think they would want to keep the wood that why it is double profit.
Well, some tree companies don't remove the downed trees unless you pay for itThese companies have huge overheads in their equipment and employees to payA skidder is a huge piece of machinery that needs constant repairs as well as the log trucks that carry the logs awayNot many companies will take any of the other litter, such as the smaller branches and leavesWhen a microburst hit across the road from my house and wiped out dozens of old-growth pine an maple trees, huge skidders came in to clear out the logs and huge cranes lifted them onto the log carriersThe man who owned the property did not get much for the lumber and it was a wonder they did not charge for taking it awayThe acre is still a mess with downed litter all over the placeThe owner stacked some of it in huge piles that he tries to burn each spring, but it will take years to get it all burnedBrush and trees are growing back.
