Tree Removal Process:

 

Careful consideration is taken in determining the method and necessary equipment needed to accomplish a safe and successful removal. Some tree locations, obstacles, conditions and size require a crane or bucket truck for safe removal.  The appropriate method is determined during the estimate visit.

The most common method of tree removal is to climb and individually remove limbs.  Then the trunk is removed in large sections and prepared for pick up by a log truck or cut into manageable size pieces for hauling and disposal.  Once the tree is on the ground and all limbs and debris are chipped, our crew carefully rakes the yard area and we orchestrate the log pick up.

 

Trimming, Pruning & Limb Removal:

 

There are many reasons to consider tree trimming and limb removal.  Weight distribution and balance, dead wood removal, canopy elevation and proper wind flow can be accomplished with periodic tree maintenance.

Trimming or pruning is beneficial to the overall health of a tree and improves the trees appearance.  There are many types of pruning techniques to accomplish your ultimate goal.  We will review your concerns and explain in detail what is needed to accomplish your desired improvement.

 

Stump Grinding Process:

 

Stump grinding is the most efficient way of removing stumps with very little disturbance to your yard and surrounding plants. It works like a chipper, but at ground level.

Our equipment is portable and has a large wheel with individual teeth. We make passes over the stump with the machine until it is ground below the surface. You are left with a finely ground pile of mulch mixed with dirt that is raked back into the stump hole.

Excess mulch can be utilized around shrubs or trees and is highly recommended for this use. All remaining grindings from stumps are left for your use or disposal, or can be removed for an additional fee.

Some tree species have unwanted surface roots that can be ground also and can be included in the estimate if specifically requested.

Tree Pruning or Tree Thinning:

 

Improve the shape & tree structure with quality pruning, proper limb spacing, & canopy elevation. Trees are pruned for safety, health and aesthetic reasons.

 

• Eliminating branches that rub each other

• Removing limbs that interfere with wires, gutters, roofs, chimneys, or windows

• Removing dead or weak limbs that pose a hazard or may lead to decay

• Removing diseased or insect-infested limbs

• Thinning to allow proper wind flow

• Removing limbs damaged by storms
