The Urban Timber Process
Professional arborists assess the safety and health of trees and, if the tree must be removed, they work with a miller to create urban timber
Tree Removal and
Milling Process
Professional arborists, both employed by a city and from the local tree care industry, are consulted by cities and homeowners to assess the safety and health of trees. These arborists assess the tree and recommend a plan of action. Whether a tree care plan or removal and replacement, arborists recommend what is best for the tree and the client who they are serving. If a tree needs to be removed, the arborist safely removes the tree and works with a professional miller to coordinate safe transport of the tree where it will then be milled into useable urban timber for makers.
