The Chipper program produces high quality, pest-free and weed-free mulch which The Davey Tree Company will deliver free of charge for large-scale landscaping projects. Since its inception, the program has recycled more than 4 million Christmas trees. The mulch from these trees has been used for playgrounds, local government beautification projects, and residential yards. Just as important, our already over-burdened landfills were not further burdened with 4 million trees.
