Tell us what you want kept — logs for firewood, chips for mulch — and we haul the rest. It is always a clearly separated line item, so you know exactly what cleanup you are paying for.
A yard full of brush and logs has a way of stalling every other project. You can't mow around it, you can't get equipment to the back, and a pile that was supposed to be dealt with next weekend becomes a home for rodents and a fire concern by mid-summer. Our haul-away service closes that loop cleanly, whether the mess is ours from a removal, the aftermath of an overnight storm, or the remains of a do-it-yourself Saturday that got bigger than the trailer. We size the job honestly — a single trailer load reads very differently from an acre of storm windthrow — and we tell you the number before we start, with what stays on the property spelled out. Want the straight logs bucked to firewood length and stacked, the chips blown into the beds as mulch, or every scrap gone so the lot is bare? Each is a normal request, and each changes the price in a way you can see. When we pull out, the work area is raked, not just cleared, and your yard is a yard again.
When you need haul-away
- A storm left a yard full of downed limbs and logs.
- A previous crew cut the tree but left the debris.
- You cut trees yourself and need the material removed.
- A lot or fence line is choked with brush and deadfall.
- You want chips and logs gone rather than kept on site.

What affects haul-away cost
Haul-away is priced by volume and access — how much material there is, how far it has to be carried to the truck, and what you want kept. We give a clear price and never bury cleanup inside a vague total.
- Volume of brush, logs, and chips
- Distance and access from the debris to the truck
- Whether logs or chips are kept on site
- Whether the material is fresh or old and settled
Debris & Brush-Cleanup Mistakes to Avoid
What you do with the wood matters as much as the cutting. These are the cleanup missteps that cause problems later.
- Piling brush against the house or shed. A brush pile against a structure is a fire path and a rodent hotel — keep it clear and deal with it promptly.
- Burning without checking the rules. Open-burning rules vary by township and season, and a burn permit is often required; a fine or an escaped fire is a steep price for skipping a phone call.
- Leaving logs on the lawn "for now." Logs left on turf kill the grass beneath and settle in; decide up front whether they are bucked for firewood or hauled.
- Not agreeing what stays versus goes. Confirm in writing whether logs, chips, and small brush are removed or left, so the finished site matches your expectation.
- Overloading a trailer. Hauling heavy green wood on an undersized or poorly secured trailer is dangerous on the road — volume and weight add up fast.
