Clean-Up & Final Walkthrough
We don’t just cut and leave. Our team clears all debris, tidies up your yard, and does a final walkthrough with you to make sure you’re completely satisfied.
It depends on your municipality, some cities require a permit for removing certain tree species or trees above a certain size, especially on public boulevards. We can help you determine what's needed for your specific property and location.
Signs like large dead branches, fungus growth at the base, leaning, or hollow sections often indicate a tree is beyond saving. Our certified arborists can assess your tree and give you an honest recommendation, whether that's removal, pruning, or simply monitoring it over time.
For full-service removals, we haul away all wood and debris as part of the job. If you'd like to keep the wood for firewood, just let us know, and we're happy to leave it on-site for you.
This type of removal requires specialized training and equipment, which is exactly what our certified arborists are trained for. We never recommend attempting this yourself, and we always coordinate carefully around utility lines to keep the job safe.
For routine, non-urgent removals, we recommend scheduling a few weeks ahead, especially during busier seasons like spring and after major storms. For emergencies, we're available 24/7 and can typically respond the same day
Our team takes precautions to minimize impact on surrounding grass, gardens, and hardscaping, using mats or planks in sensitive areas when needed. We also do a full clean-up after every job so your property looks its best when we're done.
While we can give a rough idea over the phone, we always recommend an on-site visit for an accurate quote, since tree size, condition, and accessibility all affect pricing. The good news is our estimates are always free.
First, make sure everyone is safe and stay away from the tree, especially if it's near power lines. Then give us a call — we offer 24-hour emergency service and can assess the situation and begin safe removal as quickly as possible.
