Last 6 months: 4 reviews, 1 negative. ## The honest read D & S Yardworks takes down trees, clears brush and stumps, and sells firewood by the cord. On the tree side, a 2025 customer said Dan and his crew cut down two trees, one overhanging the house and a dying maple that had split into three trunks, without damaging nearby landscape plants, and cleaned up all the debris. A 2025 reviewer wrote that a tree next to the driveway came down while they were out at a doctor's appointment, and on returning they couldn't find a leaf or a bit of sawdust. A 2022 customer said multiple large oak trees and stumps were removed from the front yard, then the area was leveled and topsoil and grass seed put down. A 2022 reviewer said 9+ trees were removed and that Dan's two daughters worked alongside him. A recent customer said Dave pulled two shrubs without messing up the front lawn and also removed a pile of brush from the back yard. A recent buyer called a cord of firewood one of the better quality they had seen in years. A 2025 customer said two scoops of split firewood nearly filled an 8' pickup bed for $100. A 2026 reviewer wrote that wood for a boiler arrived within 2 days. A recent customer said a cord ordered at the beginning of October was mostly short ends and rotten wood, maybe a usable half cord. A 2026 customer said a $325 cord quoted as seasoned was not seasoned and, once stacked, was not nearly a cord. A 2026 reviewer who had a $1,100 firewood voucher said the order kept getting dropped and the 90-day voucher expired. A 2025 customer who skipped the paid tumbling and cleaning said the delivery came with a large amount of debris and uneven cuts, though they got the full 2 cords and it burns well. **Strengths:** - Clean tree removal — a 2025 customer found no leaf or sawdust left - A large clearing job — a 2022 customer had oaks and stumps removed, area seeded - Careful shrub removal — a recent customer said the front lawn was spared **Concerns:** - A short firewood cord — a 2026 customer said the stacked cord fell well short - Unseasoned wood — a 2026 customer said wood quoted as seasoned would not burn - A dropped voucher order — a 2026 customer said a 90-day voucher expired - A poor October cord — a recent customer got mostly ends and rotten wood ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Removes trees, including one overhanging a house and a split dying maple _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xKeVdVcGpURTFqV21aSFIxOVRVMGx4WkRrelRuYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xfc2f99b74fdcd5d7!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOlJyWUpjTE1jWmZHR19TU0lxZDkzTnc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ We had Dan and his crew cut down two trees in our yard; one overhanging our house, the other a dying maple that split into three trunks. …” - A 2025 customer found no leaf or sawdust left after a tree removal by the driveway _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2tabU5uZzVlWFpJUkhoYWRUSlpWRFV6WTFKVk4yYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xfc2f99b74fdcd5d7!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOkZmNng5eXZIRHhadTJZVDUzY1JVN2c%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ This is the only yard service I would ever use.
