If anybody wants garbage fire wood call Foster. He charged us full price and said it was dry, it has been sitting in our wood shed since October and its still too wet to burn in our stove. Total rip off.

There is something very shady about this company. First they come to my property and remove a sick 15 years old pine tree. Leave without removing the stomp. a week later, come back, grind the stomp and leave a big mound of mulch. 2 weeks later, without notice, came back and cut 2 of my 30-40years old maple trees saying they were sick which is BS. They left 2 20ft trunks standing. Its been 2 weeks and the trucks are still there and they haven't come back. When they cut all branches from these maple trees, they damaged my flower bed by hitting flowers and stepping into the garden leaving deep boot
