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 (Acer L.) that is about 10 feet tall.
Does that sound like a reasonable price?

I am not sure what you are saying. You paid $450 for someone to cut a
maple which is ten feet tall? OR, you charged someone that much?

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.

GOOD QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like a fair price for removal. The chips should compost for at least
1 year. The parenchyma cells when chipped get their contents (protoplasm)
smeared all over the place. This attracts undesirables that can and do do
nasty things to trees above as well as below ground for trees. They also
attack defenseless cells. Also fresh chips can greatly increase the
likelihood of getting artillery fungus on you house. Composting for a year
will greatly reduce that. This information comes from someone that did
hundreds of thousands of cultures as a mycologist. Fresh chips (disease
potential). Composted chips (Food for the soil with many benefits for trees
when applied CORRECTLY and not touching the trunk flare at the base of the
tree.)
I sell dump truck loads of composted tree trimmings 2-3-4 years old for
about 200.00 which is about 7 yards of good quality mulch. As far as mulch
goes.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that
will give them understanding.
