We cannot deny that urban trees are a valuable natural resource. They provide homes for our wildlife, they shelter us from the elements, they provide privacy and provide a background complimenting and enhancing our architecture. All of these elements combined increase the quality of life for residents of urban communities.

With urbanization, trees reaching maturity, insects and disease, there are approximately 9000 trees removed each year from the Greater Toronto Area, with their waste becoming firewood and mulch. Urban Tree Salvage has set sights to reduce the amount of city forestry waste reaching landfills and urban fireplaces. Using hardwood lumber processed from salvaged city trees, lessens the amount of wood harvested from the natural growing environment.

But what do they do with this wood? Urban Tree Salvage offers finished slab and dimensional table tops for dining, console, coffee table, desk tops, counters and vanities. Each table top is custom and made to order. They also offer coffee tables, end tables and great frames, available at Grassroots retailers.
