Hello,
I am putting together a business plan for a university project and am looking for some information. Perhaps somebody on here might be able to help. My business plan involves collecting yard waste in Nampa, Idaho and then grinding/chipping it up to sell as landscaping and garden mulch. I'm looking to collect branches, small trees, leaves, and perhaps some grass clippings. My question involves what kind of equipment is best to use to turn the yard waste into mulch. I'm trying to keep things on a fairly small scale to start with (maximum of about $30,000 per machine).
Do I need a wood chipper a tub grinder or both? Do they do roughly the same things?
Would something like this machine handle all types of yard waste and turn it into decent mulch? It's looks like the closest thing I've found so far to what I am looking for.

What type of screening system would I need to screen the mulch to sizes anywhere from 1/4" to an 1"?
Are mulch coloring systems able to be attached to these machines?
What does it cost to keep these types of small tub grinders, chippers, screening systems operating (fuel, maintenance, insurance, etc)?
If anybody has answers for these questions or any recommendations for me, I'd be glad to hear them.
