Yard & brush cleanup
Leaves, brush, garden beds and the straightforward landscaping jobs around the property.
How quoting works
Pick the parts you need. We agree the work, the price and where materials stay or go before anything starts, and we talk to you first if the job changes. Asking for a quote doesn't book a job or commit you to a price.

- We agree the scope and price. Some jobs need a quick look on site first.

Questions
Can you bring the splitter to my property?
Yes. Splitting on site is the usual way we work. Photos of the wood and the way in help us check that the setup suits it.
Can I keep the firewood?
Yes. Splitting and stacking can be quoted with the wood staying on your property. Tell us where you'd like it stacked and what log length you want.
Do you remove fallen trees?
We cut up fallen trees that are safely on the ground and can split them on site. Trees that are hung up, have an unstable root plate, are under tension or are near power lines need a qualified tree service.
What does a quote include?
Exactly the work you choose: cutting to length, splitting, stacking, cleanup, hauling, or any mix of those. You can keep the wood without paying for every step. The price and any changes are agreed before work starts.
Is freshly split wood ready to burn?
No. Splitting doesn't season wet wood. Drying time depends on the species, size and conditions, so check the moisture on a freshly split face before burning it in a stove.
