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

There are a few signs that a tree may need to be removed, such as large dead branches, visible decay, fungus growing around the base, major leaning, or storm damage. Sometimes the tree may be structurally unsafe even if it looks healthy from the outside. I can come out, take a look, and give you an honest assessment so you know whether removal or trimming is the best option.

What happens to the wood and debris after removal?

All branches, limbs, and debris are cleaned up as part of the job. You can choose whether you want the wood left on your property or hauled away. If you prefer removal, we can take care of that for an additional fee.

Is stump grinding included with tree removal?

Stump grinding is not included with standard tree removal. However, I work closely with other local businesses that provide stump grinding services and can refer you to someone trusted and reliable.

How do you price tree removal or trimming jobs?

Every job is different, so pricing is based on a variety of factors such as the size of the tree, its location, accessibility, the amount of debris, and the complexity of the work. Once I see the tree in person, I can give you an accurate and fair estimate.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. Just give me a call, and I’ll come out to your property to take a look and provide a free estimate.

Can you remove trees close to my house or power lines?

I can safely remove trees that are close to homes, sheds, fences, or other structures. However, I do not remove trees that are near or tangled with power lines. If your tree is too close to electrical lines, I can help direct you to the proper utility company or a specialist who is certified to work around energized lines.
