Professional Arbor Care and Personalized Wood Products
Our Mission
Our mission at Tree Cycle is the vision that gave the company its name: to utilize all wood from our local trees and collaboratively create unique pieces that stay in the community.
Based in the beautiful mountain town of Salida, Colorado, which is known for its thriving and compassionate community, we are wanting to contribute to its healthy growth and be part of an ongoing conversation about reducing waste and working together.
Our mission is to connect local arborists, woodworkers and homeowners.
While the process of pellet-making is our future goal, all wood generated from local tree work can already be utilized in manifold ways:
We mill our large diameter logs into lumber and collaborate with different woodworkers who turn unique pieces into elegant furniture and cutting boards.
All other pieces that cannot be used in this fashion are processed into natural poles, kindling bundles and firewood.
We love when clients receive something back from the trees they have loved and cared for. So many people in town are skilled in different ways, so let's enjoy the connection we have with each other, the passion for craftsmanship and the trees that look over us every day.
Removals
Shawn has 10 years of professional experience felling trees. He started sawyer trainings and receiving certifications in 2008. He uses precise assessments of the right cutting techniques depending on many factors (e.g. species, moisture content, and positioning). A ground person is there at all times and rigging equipment is used as necessary.
Pruning
Technical prunes are where Shawn showcases his eye for detail by making precise cuts to accomplish not only small healthy wounds, but also having a beautiful uniform tree.
His schooling in Natural Resources allows him to identify each tree and know how to perform the best practice and educate the client.
Processing
Each prune and removal produces wood for many different products that we process ourselves or give to local woodworkers we collaborate with. All the wood that we cut gets utilized and cycled back into the community. Let us know, if you would like anything back from your trees. We would love to connect you with a skilled woodworker from town, if you want something custom built or crafted into an art piece. We also offer firewood and kindling bundles for your fireplace.
