01

Call before removal.

Landforce does not fell trees. Early coordination with your professional arborist helps the team discuss the log requirements needed for usable lumber.

02

Think access, too.

Overhead hazards, narrow roads, slopes, and equipment access all affect recovery. Good photographs help the team understand the whole site.

03

Keep it local.

Published guidance prefers locations within 15 miles of Pittsburgh’s East End. Acceptance, collection, and timing are confirmed individually.

Want wood from
your own tree?

Landforce’s published process invites property owners to discuss using the resulting lumber for a project. Raise this before pickup so the team can talk through feasibility and expectations.
