Brush Chipping & Hauling in Humboldt County

On-site chipping that turns brush piles into mulch, or hauls the whole mess away. Your call.

Brush Chipping & Hauling, at a glance

Brush chipping feeds limbs, branches, and woody debris through a mechanical chipper that reduces them to wood chips on site, shrinking a truckload of brush into a wheelbarrow-sized pile of usable mulch. True Tree Service chips and hauls across Humboldt and Del Norte counties as a standalone service; no tree removal required.

Brush chipping and hauling in Humboldt County is storm cleanup after every winter front around the bay, the blackberry and broom that take over back lots in Arcata and Eureka, cottonwood and willow limbs along the Eel in Fortuna and Blue Lake, windbreak debris on the Ferndale bottoms, and fuel-reduction brush from the hills behind Fortuna and out in Willow Creek. Tight lots in Eureka and Cutten mean the chipper sets up in the street and the crew carries; valley and ranch parcels let us set up next to the pile.

We chip what chips, haul what does not, leave the chips if you want them, and rake the site before the truck leaves. Chip days through several neighborhoods at once keep the number down.
