Why Tree Removal Is Sometimes Necessary

  • Safety Concerns

    This is always our #1 Priority - Dead, dying, or structurally compromised trees can pose significant risks to your property and personal safety. Removing these trees helps prevent potential accidents and damage.

  • Disease & Infestation

    Trees that are severely affected by disease or pest infestations, such as Ash trees and the Emerald Ash Borer, may need to be removed to protect the rest of your landscape. Some shade-trees may succumb to Fungal or Bacterial infection and removal is the best option.

  • Property Development

    Expanding your home, building new structures, or redesigning your landscape often requires the removal of trees to make space for your project.

  • Aesthetic or Practical Reasons

    Sometimes, trees may outgrow their space, block views, or create unwanted shade. Removing these trees can improve the aesthetics and functionality of your property.

    After the assessment, we offer a clear, detailed quote and create a comprehensive plan for the safe removal of the tree, considering all relevant factors.

  3. Safe & efficient removal

    Equipped with advanced tools, our team safely removes the tree using techniques like controlled felling and cranes, ensuring no damage to your property.

  4. Cleanup & disposal

    We leave your property clean, clearing all debris, with optional stump grinding or removal based on your preferences.

Common Questions

How do I know if my tree needs to be removed?

Signs that a tree may need to be removed include visible decay, significant leaning, large dead branches, or evidence of disease and pest infestation. Our arborist can assess the tree's health and recommend the best course of action.

What does a removal cost?

A single removal usually estimates between $250 and $1,500, and more for the big ones. That's the price of the removal itself. There's also a minimum to get a crew out, $650 for new customers and $500 with a referral, with no minimum once you're an existing customer. The pricing page lays out the labor and day rates behind those numbers.

What happens to the wood?

The wood can be processed and removed from your property, or if you prefer, we can leave it for you to use as firewood or mulch. We also offer stump grinding and complete debris removal.

Do I need a permit?

Permit requirements vary by location and the size of the tree. We can help you determine if a permit is needed and assist with the application process if necessary.

Can you remove trees in hard-to-reach spots?

Yes, we have the equipment and experience to remove trees in challenging locations, including those near buildings, power lines, or other obstacles.
