About Fournier’s Tree Service

Fournier's Tree Service is based in Readfield, a small town in Kennebec County on the western shore of Maranacook Lake. The rural character of this part of Maine means properties are often heavily wooded, and many residents heat with wood, making firewood supply a practical extension of tree service work. Fournier's offers both tree services and firewood, which is a natural pairing that makes good use of every tree they take down. For Readfield-area property owners who want to get value out of removed trees rather than just paying to have them hauled away, this combination is genuinely useful.

Services & Process

Fournier's Tree Service handles tree removal, trimming, and pruning for residential and rural properties in the Kennebec County region. Where they differentiate is in their firewood offering, which means the wood from your removed trees can potentially be processed and delivered back to you or other customers rather than being chipped and discarded. Tree trimming in this area often involves managing growth around driveways, outbuildings, and lakefront views that are important to rural property owners. Stump grinding and lot clearing for camps, home sites, and farm properties are also common services in this part of Maine.

Service Area

Fournier's Tree Service serves Readfield and the surrounding Kennebec County communities, including Winthrop, Wayne, Mount Vernon, and Belgrade. The company is well-positioned to serve the dense camp and residential communities around the many lakes and ponds in this part of central Maine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get firewood from the trees Fournier's removes from my property?
That's one of the real benefits of working with a provider that offers both tree services and firewood. Ask upfront whether the wood from your removal can be cut, split, and left on-site or delivered back to you as firewood, which can offset some of the removal cost.
How much firewood do I need to heat a home through a Maine winter?
A well-insulated Maine home typically needs three to five cords of hardwood to get through a full heating season, though that varies based on house size, insulation quality, and how cold the winter runs. Ordering early in the summer ensures the wood has time to dry properly before you need it.
What types of trees are best for firewood in central Maine?
Hardwoods like maple, oak, ash, and birch burn the hottest and longest, making them the most efficient for home heating. Softwoods like pine burn faster and produce more creosote, so they're better for kindling than as a primary heat source.
Are lakefront trees in the Readfield area treated differently during removal?
Yes, tree removal near water requires extra care to avoid damage to docks, shoreline vegetation, and neighboring properties. Maine also has shoreland zoning rules that may restrict what can be removed near the water, so it's worth checking local regulations before scheduling work.
How do I clear a wooded lot for a camp or outbuilding near Maranacook Lake?
Start by marking the area you want cleared and identifying any trees you want to keep for shade or aesthetics. A local tree service can assess which trees are healthy enough to stay, remove the rest safely, and grind stumps so the ground is usable. Check with the town for any permit requirements first.
Does Fournier's Tree Service work in winter?
Many tree service providers in Maine work year-round, and winter is actually a good time for certain tree work since frozen ground reduces soil compaction from heavy equipment. Firewood deliveries also tend to peak in fall and winter, so they're typically active through the cold months.
