Pine trees have almost no use to the average person so asking for free tree work with pines will probably not find any takers. If there is no danger of trees falling on a building or electric wires you may be able to get some inquires by placing a free ad in Craigslist, Freecycle, Letgo, or even Nextdoor as there may be someone that has a need for your trees.

• Tree cutting equipment is very expensive (including a truck for hauling) and insurance/liability is very expensive and usually no company (even small ones) will do a job unless you have a very large number of trees and the trees are of a certain size. This does not mean you should not ask or search for free service as different parts of the country have different needs.

• You should keep in mind that anytime someone does any work on your property (that does not have their own liability insurance) you would be responsible (homeowner's insurance) for any problems (especially injuries) that may happen.

You can try to put an ad in Freecycle or Craigslist saying that people can have the wood for free if they cut down the trees.

Depending on age of your pine tree, some lumber or furniture manufactures nearby might take a look.

I am big on donating things...maybe a local scout organization could use the wood for campfire kindling.
