Good morning, we will be removing 10+ white Pines in Willsboro early this week. The trees are on the smaller side for the most part, as far as white Pines go. Therefore, the wood is all very manageable, perfect for camp wood or for an outdoor boiler. Ideally, I would like to find someone local who could use it instead of bringing it all home with me.  if anyone has any interest in it, please call or text 518–637–4372. The picture is not of the actual trees, just one on my property that is similar in size. 

Thanks, have a good day.

Good morning, happy Fourth of July! In the coming weeks, we will be taking care of quite a bit of work that we have scheduled in Willsboro, NY. If anyone in that general direction is looking for any hardwood for the upcoming winter, please feel free to reach out. We will be making the trip up daily and can bring a cord of split hardwood. (Mixture between Maple, oak, cherry, ash, beech, elm etc)

While in the area, we will be focusing on tree removals and stump grinding. Reach out for a free estimate if you have any tree work you would like taken care of, Stumps that need to be ground, brush hogging, brush chipping, debris/junk/metal removal or any other work along those lines. We are fully insured and also provide references.

Thanks for reading. We are aware that there are a lot of people who play a role and are partially responsible for our success, we appreciate it!

Feel free to message me on here or call/text Dillon @ 518-637-4372 (preferred)

Good morning! I am completely fascinated with history. I find things such as old Stone walls, foundations, relics, bottles, antiques etc. fascinating. When I look at an overgrown old stone wall, I don’t just see stones. Instead, I think about the fact that each and every stone was once moved by the hands of a person who has been gone, at least in their physical form, a long time. And how each and every stone caused someone to sweat, or potentially to jam their finger. Those types of thoughts directly connect me to these people and although typically I’m not even aware of their names, I feel as though my thoughts breathe life back into these individuals by appreciating and acknowledging whatever it is that connects the two of us, whether it’s a stone wall or an old bottle that I have unearthed. I am provided with a sense of comfort knowing that down the road, someone may have a similar connection with the traces of my life that I may leave behind. My father had an appreciation for antiques and for history in general which, as a child was something the two of us had in common and was a way for us to connect. These interests are responsible for my appreciation for cemeteries, I have always been drawn to them. I have wandered through pretty much every cemetery that I am aware of in Essex County and the surrounding areas. Stevenson Cemetery has always occupied its own spot inside of me, I’ve just always liked it. We recently were given the opportunity to work there. Although the tree we removed was relatively healthy, it was only going to get bigger and would increasingly become a threat to the surrounding gravestones, so removing it was a good call by the Stevenson Cemetery board. An unexpected result of the removal is the nice view that it created of what may be Cheney Mountain, but I’m not sure. If you know the name of the mountain, feel free to comment and share the name. Have a good day and if you took the time to read this, thank you!

Good morning, y’all! It has been a very busy, interesting few days. On Father’s Day afternoon we received a call about a compromised ash tree that needed to be dealt with immediately. If you know anything about Ash wood, it splits very easily. Although that is a helpful characteristic when processing firewood, it also can lead to hazardous situations at times with a standing ash tree. This particular ash tree consisted of competing twin tops. With the increased wind recently, this tree split and was cracked all the way to the ground. The homeowners put some ratchet straps on it, which most likely prevented it from coming down completely, allowing us to methodically take it down and eliminate the risk. Given that it was Father’s Day, it was a family affair and my young son Lincoln was there to oversee the operation.

Phew! Long hot week! Lots of work, many many estimates. We started the day in Crown Point finishing up a two day job on the Bridge Road. Now we are in Westport on the shores of Lake Champlain taking down a dead white birch, a job we squeezed in at the last moment to help out some repeat, loyal clients. We have a few things to take care of on our way home and then will call it a day.

Tomorrow we will be right back at it, taking down a large dead spruce in Crownpoint.  Work is coming in
Continuously, I’m working seven days/week & I am continuously wrapping weeks up with more work than when they began. Thankful for the Adirondacks and their residents for continuously keeping us busy!

Many of these were maple stumps that I ground last year. She lost another good-sized maple this winter, so we started our week out with this. Last year when we did the work, I overbid the job. It went much smoother than I expected, and I let her know and offered to lower the agreed price. Rather than lowering the price, she said she would take help with something else instead. Rather than having me grind the new maple stump for free, she asked me to bring topsoil and grass seed.

As far as everyone I've been communicating with, I appreciate each and every one of you for your patience. We have been in overload mode for the last 4-6 weeks. I have worked every weekend, aside from Mother's Day. Long days too, 10+ hours each, often wrapping things up with a headlamp on.

With that said, please feel free to reach out for any of your tree care needs. We specialize in technical, dangerous removals surrounded by obstacles, power lines, chimneys, and so on. But we will also come for yard work, and haul trash, clean off your roof, and your gutters, pressure wash, and not to mention all other facets of tree work, such as lot clearing, brush removal, shipping/removal of brush you already have on site, mowing, string trimming, and things like that. We also have two nice brush hogs and truly enjoy walking in parallel lines all day on your biggest field; it’s efficient. Much cheaper than you would expect.

I have a ton of hardwood for next winter; I’m accepting orders now. No matter how much I think I have, I always end up running out, but I plan on starting to run loads quite consistently at night or in the morning.

We also have a ton of campwood to get rid of. The campwood consists of White Pine, Hemlock, Cedar, sometimes poplar, but not right now, and never very much of it, spruce, etc. There are a fair amount of people who just want to buy hardwood for their campfires; that is fine too. It is much more expensive, which is why we also offer a mixed load.

You can reach us over the phone which is my preferred option, just seems to be more efficient.

I spent hours this morning, degreasingthe Stump grinder, cleaning it, changing the teeth, changing the oil and so on, did not make it to the job that I intended to, but at least I am able to knock out this nice local job here in town. I am even fortunate enough to get a visit from Morgan and her sidekick Lincoln “the processor” Briggs.

We worked at the former Camp Minnowbrook helping my friend Chuck who has been the caretaker there for quite some time. I’ve been there many times working, but this was the first for D & E. One of the things I have always liked the most about tree work is being in a different place each day. There are so many cool little areas and back roads that I’ve worked on, along with all of the water front properties and even a few islands. Many of the camps on Lake Placid are only accessible by boat or a walking trail. I’ve probably worked out at least 20 of them over the years and those are some incredible, historical places.
