We decided to drop some tall trees around the house for safety and aesthetic reasons. We interviewed a few tree companies and went with the one that gave us the best quote. During the interview I specifically asked the company owner if we can offset some of the cost by selling the wood from the dropped trees (mostly 70 ft tall straight pine trees). He danced around my question and gave me the impression that nobody would want the wood (e.g., no wood mills nearby, pine is of low value, etc.).
Fast forward to today: most dropping has been done and they are cleaning up the site. I noticed they are cutting the trees into equal length log and ship them out on large trucks. I asked a guy and he confirmed that they are selling the logs.They actually did a good job with the trees; but I really don't like being lied to. Don't know if I would do something about this. Probably too much trouble and now worthy my time. But still really left a bad taste in my mouth.
BTW, anyone knows how much this much logs would sell for?
This is the pile they are working on now. There was some they already shipped out earlier and more in the back yard. Overall amount is probably twice as much as shown in the picture.
