Free Tree Service

I have some fallen pine trees in my yard; I understand there are loggers out there who might be willing to haul them away for free. Does anyone know of such a service?

Post this on Freecycle. I see people begging for firewood on there.

They usually are looking for Oak and such and do not want to bother with Pine.

There's too much hardwood available for people to want to burn pine unless they're just looking for free firewood and willing to do the work.

I have no clue about firewood. I just see people asking for it constantly. I've yet to see any of them post about cutting it though. I even saw one chick post (over and over) about not having a car and asking if someone could bring it to her.

Pine builds up a lot of creasote in your chimney and you have more of a danger of chimney fires.

if you have oak logs in the fire, you can get away with tossing a pine log in with them. Pine by itself just does not burn hot enough.

Bishops tree service, as long as the trees are down.

Free Tree Service

Hi GaryT27,
I can't find "Bishop's Tree Service" anywhere on the web. Do you happen to have a phone number? I'm in Leonardtown (t Mary's County). Where are they?
