Arborists are a natural fit for working with urban wood. After caring for trees from the time they were vulnerable saplings, the last thing arborists want to do at the end of life is throw them away. Expanding an arborist business to offer urban wood removal service; processing into wood chips and firewood and lumber; or even making finished products are simple and convenient benefits to a consumer. Offering these services also may reduce costs while providing potential additional revenue streams. As you consider adding to your business, here are examples of what others have done.
