ment package? Pricing depends heavily on many factors such as customer base, demand, average yard size and more. Be sure to discuss those factors with sales reps and they will undoubtedly help you choose the best product to serve your needs. Quality multipurpose equipment for beginners can range from $190,000 to $800,000, with smaller businesses ser- vicing smaller yards on the low end and larger customer bases with more land to service on the higher end. Again, consult- ing with the experts prior to budgeting will help to create accurate budgets. The money spent on equipment is returned immediately. Not only will businesses save money on purchasing the product, but they also save on disposal costs. Though pricing may vary, most experts agree that beginners should expect to give themselves six months to a year to get their mulch service up and running. That will give businesses plenty of time to secure the right sites and equipment.
Quality machinery is required for mulch production. While some may find this step intimidating, sales reps offer their expertise in choosing the perfect package for specific business needs. Grinders, chippers, screens, color systems and even bagging machines are sold both separately and in packages. Photo courtesy of Colorbiotics.

With enough research, consultations and budgeting, tree care companies can bene- fit from adding mulch production to their services and allowing their businesses and the environment they work to main- tain to grow to their fullest potentials. Those who take the first step will quick- ly find themselves wondering why they didn’t do it sooner.
