TIME TO GET IT DONE

It can take a while to get around to removing a tree that is no longer serving its purpose. In some cases, the tree has already fallen, it's threatening damage to your home or business, or it is impacting the property aesthetically. Whatever the situation, you may have been thinking about removing a tree for a while but haven't yet made that phone call to get it taken care of.

FINDING A COMPANY FOR TREE REMOVAL

Regardless of why your tree needs to go, emergency tree removal can be just one thing to take care of on your to-do list, adding to your stress as a home or property owner. In addition, it can take some time and effort to find a contractor who is responsive and knowledgeable.

LEAF IT TO US

Without expert help, tree removal can be messy, not to mention dangerous. Of course, you don't need to take care of tree removal on your own. But, sometimes, to make a positive change, removing your tree, you need a little help from the experts.

FROM TRUNK TO STUMP

An arborist can help you to determine if a tree can be saved or if it is unsafe. We can also help you figure out what to do with your tree and get the job done. When you hire us to remove a tree, we don't just cut your tree down. Instead, we take care of it from trunk to stump — lowering, cutting, uprooting, and disposing your tree with skill.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to kill tree roots?

The best way to kill tree roots depends on what you are trying to accomplish and if you want to use chemical or environmentally friendly methods. The size, type, and age of the tree and the protection of surrounding vegetation all need to be taken into account.


If you are only trying to remove some roots, installing a root barrier may be possible, or cutting off and removing the unwanted roots manually.


If you are trying to remove an entire root system, it is best to engage an expert arborist. Even the more environmentally safe methods, such as Epsom salts, can affect the surrounding area if not done correctly.

Does insurance cover tree removal?

Whether your insurance company will cover the cost of fallen tree removal depends on your homeowner policy. Interestingly, the answer to when insurance will pay can also change quite a bit based on the cause of the tree falling and where it falls.


Homeowner's insurance will not usually cover preventative tree removal, and your insurance company may refuse to pay for damage caused by a tree that falls due to preventable damage. For example, if a tree falls on your house, and the insurance company decides you should have known it was rotten or unstable, your insurance may not cover the resulting damage and tree removal.

Should I remove a tree close to house?

It depends. If the tree is endangering your roof, has pests, or if the roots are upsetting your foundation, you may want to consider removing it. A certified arborist can help you determine whether to save the tree or to remove it.

Why are arborist reports required to remove a tree?

Municipalities require arborist reports for several reasons:

  1. They want to ensure that the tree needs removal.
  2. They want to ensure the removal will not adversely impact the surrounding area.
  3. They want to be sure that the removal will not pose a safety hazard.

What IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TREE CUTTING, TRIMMING, and Pruning?

Tree cutting, trimming, and pruning are three distinct practices, each serving different purposes in the care and maintenance of trees.


**Tree Cutting** typically refers to the complete removal of a tree. This action is usually taken for safety reasons, such as when a tree is dead, diseased, or poses a hazard to structures, people, or surrounding plants. Cutting a tree can also be part of land clearing for construction or landscape alteration.


**Tree Trimming** focuses on selectively removing branches to enhance the tree's aesthetic appearance and health. Trimming is often done to shape a tree, remove overgrown branches that may be blocking sunlight or obstructing views, and reduce the risk of damage during storms by removing potentially weak branches.


**Tree Pruning**, while similar to trimming, has a more specific goal of promoting the tree's health and structural integrity. Pruning involves removing dead, diseased, or weak limbs to prevent the spread of decay, encourage growth, and improve fruit production in fruit-bearing trees. It's a critical maintenance task that can influence a tree's future shape and strength.


While all three practices involve cutting parts of a tree, the intention and techniques differ significantly. Proper execution of these tasks is crucial for the safety of the tree and its surrounding environment, often requiring knowledge of tree biology and the use of specialized equipment.
