Turning Fallen Trees into Sustainable Firewood
Don't let downed trees go to waste! After we cut a tree down on your property, we can transform the usable portions of the trunk into firewood. We can cut the logs into manageable lengths, making them perfect for splitting and storing as a renewable energy source for future use.
Why Dead Trees Make Perfect Firewood
Dead trees make excellent firewood because they are naturally seasoned, which reduces moisture content. This results in more complete combustion, leading to a cleaner, hotter, and more efficient burn with less smoke. Using dead trees for firewood can help you save on winter heating costs and eliminate the need to buy firewood from a retailer or tree farm. Remember, dry wood from a dead tree is easy to ignite, making it perfect for your fireplace, not your backyard.
Cutting Wood for Storage
After removing one or more unwanted trees from your yard, we can cut the usable parts of the tree trunk into manageable pieces, perfect for splitting and burning. After cutting the wood, we can transport it to another location or move it to a designated area on your property. You can split and stack into wood logs for storage and aging.

Common Connecticut Trees That Make Great Firewood
The “Constitution State” has more than 600 beautiful species native to the region, many of which are perfect for firewood at the end of their natural lifespan. Here are a few of the most common that may be in your yard:
- White Oak: Connecticut's state tree, white oak, is a prized firewood choice due to its exceptional burning qualities. It seasons well, offers a high heat output, and produces minimal smoke.
- Red Oak: A popular choice for firewood, red oak is a dense hardwood that splits easily and burns steadily.
- Sugar Maple: Known for its vibrant fall foliage, it also seasons well for firewood and provides a long-lasting, hot burn.
- Eastern White Pine: This fast-growing evergreen is an excellent kindling option due to its high resin content, which helps ignite fires easily.
- American Beech: is known for its clean burning properties and consistent heat.
