Why Choose Professional Tree Removal?

Removing a tree is probably one of the most hazardous jobs you can do as a landscaper. It will require specialized equipment, extensive education, and a lot of experience. Removing a tree by yourself could cost you a limb, damage some or all of your property, or kill you. Our arborist staff has the skills and knowledge to safely cut down a tree in almost any situation, regardless of how difficult it may be.

When our professional arborist removes a tree from your property, they also provide full cleaning up and disposal of all of the wood and other materials that they removed. We will leave your property completely cleaned and ready for the next project you want to do with it (i.e., build a house on it, put in new plants, etc.).

Our Complete Tree Removal Process

Initial Assessment and Planning

All tree removals begin by performing a comprehensive evaluation of the tree itself and its surrounding area. The arborist will then assess and determine the best method to safely and efficiently remove the tree based on size, condition, and where the tree is located in the yard. The arborist will factor in many elements of the removal, such as nearby structures, overhead or underground utilities (power lines), other trees in the immediate area, and the soil/ground conditions, etc., to develop an individualized removal plan.

Additionally, during the removal assessment, our arborist identifies if there are any required permits are needed for the removal of the tree, and coordinates with local authorities as necessary. Many municipalities have specific requirements regarding the removal of trees, and our arborist ensures compliance with all applicable regulations during the entire removal process.

Safety Preparation

Safety is paramount on all of our tree removal jobs. Safety zones are created in the surrounding area before we can start removing trees, as well as installing various types of protective barriers to protect people and property from the hazards of the job. Members of our tree service crew utilize high-quality safety products to include, but not limited to, hard hats, safety glasses, cut-resistant clothing, and high-quality climbing equipment.

In addition to creating a safe environment, we also communicate with local utility companies when we will be operating close to overhead electrical lines, and we may arrange for utilities to temporarily turn off electrical power if it is required to safely remove trees that have grown into overhead wires. We use padding and/or barriers on all of the vehicles and structures in the immediate area to protect them from possible accidental damage during the tree removal process.

Complete Cleanup and Site Restoration

Once the tree has been removed from your property, we will also take care of the clean-up process so you do not have to. All debris (branches, leaves, etc.) will be hauled away in a manner that will allow us to maintain an environmental focus. The usable wood from our removal process will be recycled into either lumber or firewood. Smaller pieces of debris will be recycled into mulch or compost.

The area where the removal took place will be cleared, leveled, and graded if needed, as well as surface roots will be removed. If needed, we will also apply topsoil and seed the lawn to help it look like new again.

Trees Near Power Lines

Performing tree removal near live or energized power lines requires a specific type of knowledge, equipment, and communication with electric utility companies. Our certified line clearance arborists are trained in all aspects of line clearance as well as qualified to perform their duties while being exposed to electrical hazards.

Before performing our services, we will contact local utility providers to ensure that the area(s) where we will be working can be done so in a safe manner. We also work with these same utilities to arrange for temporary de-energizing of the power lines if needed. All work is completed in accordance with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards for electrical safety in tree care operations.

Large Tree Removal

Removal of larger mature trees requires a high level of expertise, expensive and specialized equipment to safely remove trees that exceed 100 feet tall and are at least several feet in diameter. When there is sufficient space, we utilize crane-assisted removal. In tight spaces, our experienced arborists use advanced rigging techniques to safely remove the tree.

In many cases, removal of a large tree takes place over the course of several days and will require the coordination of both equipment and personnel. We create detailed project schedules for all tree removal projects and will communicate with you as needed throughout the entire removal process.

Getting Started with Tree Removal

Free Assessment and Estimate

Our arborist team always starts each tree removal job by offering a complimentary site inspection of the area where we will remove trees. After our tree evaluation process is complete, our arborists will sit down with you to understand what your objectives are and present a comprehensive plan outlining how to safely remove your trees as well as the most cost-effective manner possible.

We issue a written estimate that details the scope of work that will be completed, along with an estimated timeline to complete the work, and a breakdown of the total cost associated with completing the tree removal job. We do not charge any “hidden” costs, nor do we have “surprise” fees. All costs are fully disclosed at the time the written estimate is issued, allowing you to make a well-informed decision.

Scheduling and Timeline

We have all the best and highest quality (professional) cutting tools, which give us an advantage with our efficiency, accuracy, and safety. All hand saws, pole saws, and chainsaws are kept in pristine condition with the newest safety devices available. A sharp tool makes cleaner cuts that allow the tree to recover faster, and also reduces the risk of disease.

The type of cutting tool we select is determined by the size of the branches we will be cutting, where they are located, and how accessible they are. The arborist carries every piece of equipment necessary to ensure that any pruning job can be accomplished safely and efficiently.
