Whether you want a mature oak tree taken down or a smaller tree removed, we have a team trained and equipped to get the job done.
When Should a Tree Be Removed?
Removing a tree can be hard, especially when it has been a signature part of your landscape for years. Unfortunately, there are times when removal becomes necessary for safety or practical reasons. We remove trees that are:
- Dead or dying
- Growing too close to buildings, electricity lines, and other structures
- Severely damaged, usually by storms and severe weather
- Leaning excessively and at risk of falling over
- Obstructing views or preventing nearby plants from thriving
- Affected by disease or insect infestations
Our Tree Removal Process
Here’s what our process looks like:
Preparation
Before removal begins, we assess the work area, note nearby obstacles or utility concerns, and take steps to protect surrounding plants and landscape features.
Tree Assessment
Our team evaluates the tree’s condition, including its lean, weight distribution, and any structural damage or weak points, to determine the safest and most effective removal method.
Tree Removal
We use controlled directional felling techniques to safely bring down the tree when there’s enough space around it. In areas with limited space, our climbers remove the tree in smaller sections from the top down while a ground crew controls each piece using ropes and rigging equipment.
For complex or hard-to-reach trees, we work with local crane operators to lift and lower sections of the tree safely over buildings, fences, and other obstacles.
Cutting and Stump Grinding
Once the tree has been removed, we cut the wood into manageable sections and grind the stump to eliminate tripping hazards and help prevent future growth.
Site Cleanup
We clean up after ourselves, leaving your property tidy.
