We believe we have a responsibility to be responsible stewards of our local resources. We understand and value the role trees play in a balanced environment. Dueling Maples does not pay for local trees to be harvested specifically for our use. Each one milled in our yard was brought down by a tree service due to issues such as potential hazard, storm damage, disease, death or new construction. We have developed relationships with nearby arborists and tree services that allow our business receive local logs.
