Our licensed arborists safely remove unwanted or hazardous trees of any size. Using advanced equipment and techniques, we ensure minimal impact on your property while maintaining strict safety standards. Services include pruning, stump grinding, and debris removal for residential and commercial properties.
Custom Lumber Milling
We convert felled trees into custom lumber using portable and stationary sawmills. Offerings include live-edge slabs, beams, and planks in species like walnut, maple, and oak. Ideal for furniture, mantels, and architectural projects requiring unique, locally sourced wood materials.
Landscaping Design
Our team creates functional, low-maintenance landscapes tailored to client needs. Services include hardscaping (patios, steps), plant installation, and redesign of overgrown spaces. We specialize in deer-resistant plantings and utilize natural mulch produced from on-site tree removals.
Firewood Sales
We provide high-quality mixed hardwood firewood by the face cord, suitable for home heating and outdoor use. Firewood is available in stacked or bulk delivery options, sourced sustainably from locally harvested trees and processed using eco-friendly methods.
