You may have a variety of trees on your property. While these trees help enhance your environment, it’s sometimes necessary to remove them. Instead of dumping the wood in a landfill, get creative and repurpose the wood from your dead trees.

What to Expect With Tree Removal

Best Ways to Upcycle Your Dead Trees

If you’re creative, you can possibly sculpt rabbits and squirrels from the wood and place them in your garden. You can even use the branches from your trees indoors and create unusual wall sculptures to amp up your home’s decor. You can also use wood to build benches to place around your yard or on the patio.

Mulch is a necessity for any garden or yard. The problem with most commercial mulches, though, is that they’re manufactured from unknown matter but may contain plant materials, wood chips, and fertilizer. If you use wood from your trees, the mulch you use for your plants is of a higher quality. If you grow organic vegetables, you can ensure they are organic.

Small, cross-cut pieces of wood can create an interesting pathway. Whatever the reason for removing trees on your property, it’s always advisable to leave the tree removal to the experts.
