- 6” max diameter: small trees can be left whole.
- All the cut ends should face the road.
- Piles should be within 5 feet of the road or driveway - not in ditches or under trees.
- No sage brush, ground juniper, roots, root wads, weeds, lumber, or any wood with nails (dirt, rocks, and metal will break the machines).
- Making the PERFECT pile: no bigger than 5 feet high x 10 feet deep x 7 feet long.
- Homeowners do not need to be home to participate. The crew appreciates any help you can provide.
