Do you Fell Trees? Sorry no I am not a licensed arborist. I can trim and cut logs into firewood if needed if they are already on the ground at $125/hr

Will you buy my tree? No. A yard tree standing or on the ground has no value. An occasional exception is a large black walnut tree with access for removal that is bucked to proper lengths (not firewood rounds). 

I have to remove a tree, do you want it?

I source logs from urban tree removals, storm damage, and the yard debris dumps. Everything is salvaged and not a single tree is felled for the lumber.
