Tired of splitting wood? Can't be bothered to swing the axe anymore? Let us quickly and efficiently split your wood, we'll even stack if for you at our hourly rate. No wood is too small. Simply call your wood suplier to deliver your wood either in full lengths or already chunked up.

Branches and shrubs a problem? Too many alders and other "tree weeds" growing on your property? Can't burn them or there's too much to remove or its too costly to remove?

Chipping and shredding is the answer for you!

We've expanded our property maintenance services to include portable wood chipping of   trees, branches, etc. We can shred up to 3 inches in diameter. Shredding of softwoods and hardwoods, bushes, alder, rose bushes, leaves etc. Material is mulched and shredded on site and makes perfect material for a garden bed to keep the weeds down, or for your compost pile. Mulch can be removed for an additional fee.

We are not a tree felling service. We provide a portable wood splitting and mulching service to assist homeowners and gardeners with property maintenance. We can cut down brush and small trees. Trees that require tree climbers to remove the top canopy to avoid damage to nearby buildings are best left to arborists.
