4 Creative Ideas to Repurpose Your Downed Trees

Admin • May 6, 2021

As trees grow, you might need to remove some while others may fall because of storms or natural death. What do you do with such trees?


A fallen tree affects the appearance of your landscape. Rather than dump your fallen trees in a landfill, discover some sustainable and creative ideas to use fallen trees.


1. Create Innovative Outdoor Furniture


Many homes today have unique stumps for outdoor furniture. When you look at some of the amazing pieces, you can hardly tell that the owner repurposed dead wood. If you have a fallen tree, you can create simple but beautiful stools and tables out of the logs.


Work with your tree removal company to cut the logs into the right sizes and height and later finish each piece into the item you need for your yard. For the best impact, smoothen the stools and tables to create exceptional outdoor furniture.


2. Turn Logs Into Landscape Features


If you have a knack for creativity, you can transform a fallen branch or log into the focal point of your landscape. Borrow inspiration from décor magazines and wood lovers' forums to create an outstanding landscape feature from the fallen tree.


You can turn the logs and branches into functional landscape features on the edges of pathways, sloping yards, or as garden barriers. Such logs and branches can turn into planters with a little creativity. Hollow out the larger dried logs and place them strategically as planters on your yard.


Another innovative idea is to use a log into a birdbath by placing a water holder on top. The water bath becomes a major attraction for birds and turns your yard into a mosaic of colors as birds come for some fun.


3. Design Indoor Décor Fittings


You can give your home a rustic retouch with natural wood. Your fallen tree can provide ideal décor fittings that range from furniture, tree branch hangers, tree stump clock, candle holders, beautiful shelf brackets, or bed stands.


If you want to put your tree to the best use, do not be afraid to go bold with any idea you have in mind. Once your tree removal expert confirms the wood is strong and healthy enough to repurpose, bring to life any decorative ideas you have.


Homeowners who love art can repurpose fallen trees into attractive works of art. Some trees are easy to carve into sculptures for both indoor and outdoor spaces. If you have a design idea in mind, talk to a professional sculptor in your city and partner to get the perfect piece.


4. Turn Fallen Trees Into Fuel


Wood is a popular source of fuel in many homes for heating. You can often save on fossil fuel use if you repurpose fallen wood. You can use the logs to heat your home, barbeque, or patio heating. The tree removal company can cut the dead tree into small pieces for easy storage.


Trees offer multiple benefits, and the decision to remove them is never easy. When you identify a way to repurpose a fallen tree, you use it sustainably with no harm to the environment.
