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.

Any green wood for sale?

Like so many things, it depends. Cost varies widely depending on size, species used, and wood or metal base.
