We begin with a thorough, onsite assessment to evaluate the age, size, species, and overall health of your trees or shrubs. We will then discuss the services you need, how often you need them, and the type of equipment we will need to use. This will help us provide a detailed estimate for the cost of the services you need.

The biggest factors that can impact when we schedule tree maintenance or removal services are the weather, the location, the size and health of the tree, the species, and whether any part of the tree is on or over your neighbor’s property. We may need to consider property lines, obtain permits, or assess the environmental impact of removal before beginning.

Our emergency tree removal services include an onsite assessment to determine the location, size, species, age, and health of the tree. We will need to determine if any outside factors will influence safe removal, such as if part of the tree is hanging over your neighbor’s property or if the roots are growing into a neighbor’s property or city-owned property. You may need a permit for removal in some circumstances, which we can help you obtain. We will then consider the logistics, such as the equipment and the number of people needed. Then, we will give you an estimate for the cost of removal. If you decide to proceed, we can provide standard and large tree removal services, including those that require crane services. We also offer stump removal and stump grinding services.

You may need to obtain a permit for tree removal in certain circumstances: removal of heritage trees, removal of trees that have grown into or infiltrated city- or state-owned land, removal of trees that have infiltrated a neighbor’s property or a community area in a planned community or HOA community, removal of trees that are damaging city- or state-owned infrastructure, removal of trees that are dead or pose a hazard to people or property, removal of trees for development or construction purposes, and the removal of street trees in some cities. Our certified arborists can help you determine if you need a permit depending on the type of tree, its location and size, and the reason for removal, and can assist with the permit application process.

We make every effort to ensure our removal services are performed as carefully as possible without damaging your property. However, if a tree is very large or has sustained significant damage, removing it may damage your lawn. Keep in mind that leaving a damaged or unstable tree in place carries a greater risk of property damage or injury than safe, professional removal services.

Fallen and storm-damaged trees can pose a danger to your property and safety. They can also cause liability if they threaten the safety of your neighbors, their property, or public property. We offer professional, precise removal of damaged trees with every effort to minimize damage to surrounding areas. We also offer stump removal and stump grinding services.

Tree pruning is the careful, precise removal of dead, diseased, or damaged branches and leaves to make way for new growth and improve the health and beauty of the tree. Tree trimming maintains the size and appearance of the tree and prevents branches from intruding into power lines or neighboring property or damaging nearby structures. Regular trimming and pruning can maintain the stability, health, and structural integrity of your tree and reduce the risk of disease and pests.

Yes, tree trimming can remove dead or diseased branches and leaves to improve tree health, prevent disease and pests, and promote strong growth. Removing overhanging, broken, or damaged branches can also reduce the risk of injury and structural damage to your home or neighboring homes.

We use a machine to grind a stump into small pieces for easier removal. We begin by clearing out any obstructions and marking property lines and underground utility lines. We then put up tape or other temporary safety barricades. We typically grind stumps to a depth of four to six inches below ground level. We then clean up the debris and cover the hole.

Stump grinding is preferred by most homeowners, as it is faster and less disruptive. However, you may opt for full stump removal if you have removed a tree for the purposes of landscaping or construction, if you want to level the land so that you can use it for another purpose, or if you want to plant a new tree in the same spot.

A tree health assessment allows you to detect early warning signs of diseases and pest problems that could threaten the health, lifespan, safety, and beauty of your tree. After a tree health assessment, we can create a detailed, personalized care plan that addresses any problems, treats their root cause, and improves the health of your tree.
