Sean
★★★★★

"Great job clearing our camp lot. Tons of downed trees and they cleared the lot quickly! Great communication...will use again!"

Phil
★★★★★

"I need a tree trimmed around my service entrance wires. They did an excellent job not only trimming around those wires but taking care of low hanging branches making the large maple tree look so much better. I could not ask for better and timely service. Highly recommend."

Lorri
★★★★★

"Sons of Thunder did a great job forestry mulching a 2 mile trail for us that had grown over. Nick, the equipment operator, was diligent and precise with his work and understood what we wanted and needed done. The owner, Jesse, was flexible with the work schedule and had good communication with us from the beginning to the end of the job."

Tom
★★★★★

"Jesse and his crew handled taking down a bunch of trees, stumping, chipping and then preparing a pad site for my new garage. He showed exactly when he said he would and finished the job with no missed days! That's a big deal to me, and I appreciated it. I will for sure use him again when some other trees become an issue or any other land care is needed."

"Jesse was fantastic to work with. Despite the logistics of a downed tree on an island in a lake he was more than willing to help! Excellent communication along the way. Highly recommend!"

Marc
★★★★★

"I contacted Sons of Thunder on a Thursday via FB messenger. We discussed what I wanted priced for brush/tree chipping and by Monday morning they walked the site and provided pricing. We agreed on the price and the work was completed that day. This is the second time I have used Sons of Thunder. Fast, reliable and great work."

About Us

My name is Jesse and Sons of Thunder has always been a dream and passion of mine. In my perspective, the tree industry is one of the best; the never-ending mental challenges, labor-intensive work, and excitement of cutting down trees is right up my alley.

My journey started as I studied and passed the licensing requirements for the state of Maine. I have been taking on jobs ever since and find myself enjoying it the more time goes on. Alongside me is my awesome wife, Hope.

Life hasn't been the easiest road, but by God's grace, He has blessed our family tremendously. We look to serve Washington County not only removing trees, but also by spreading the hope and freedom that is only found in Jesus.
