Frequently Asked Questions

Tree removal should be considered if a tree is dead, diseased, or poses a safety hazard to people or nearby property. Signs of a dying tree include a leaning trunk, missing bark, breaking or brittle branches, lack of new growth. If a tree's root system has damaged a nearby structure or causing issues with plumbing lines, removal may be necessary. It is always best to consult with our professional arborist to determine if tree removal is necessary. 

Tree pruning is the process of selectively removing branches, limbs, or other parts of a tree to improve its health, shape, and structure. Pruning also helps to prevent damage caused during a storm by removing hazardous branches or growth. Proper pruning techniques will encourage new growth and prolong the tree's healthy lifespan.

Our professional tree removal starts with a risk assessment of the tree and surrounding area, identifying potential hazards, such as structures and power lines. The tree is then climbed and branches removed, before the trunk is cut down and lowered down in sections using ropes and pulleys. Finally, the stump is removed using specialized equipment through our stump grinding service. 

The frequency of tree trimming depends on several factors, including type of tree, age, location, among other factors. Most trees should be trimmed approximately every 3-5 years, to prolong their health, safety, and aesthetic appeal. Trees near houses, garages, or other structures may need to be trimmed more frequently to prevent any damage. 

If a large branch breaks off a tree, it's important to have it removed as soon as possible to prevent damage or injury below. It's always best to hire our professional arborist to safely remove the branch and further assess the tree for any additional damage. 

Removing a tree close to a house or other structure can be dangerous and should only be done by a professional. The tree's surroundings, size, and direction of growth are all important factors to consider. Our experienced arborist can assess the situation and safely remove the tree while minimizing any damage to the surrounding structures. 

A leaning tree can be a sign of root damage or other structural problem, which can pose a safety hazard for property immediately surrounding the tree. It's critically important to have a professional assess the tree to determine the cause of the lean and the best plan of action. In some cases, the tree can be cabled or braced, in other cases where the tree poses a more significant risk, it may need to be removed. 

If a tree is damaged in a storm, it's important to have a professional assess the damage and determine the best course of action. If the damage is minor, such as a few broken branches, the tree can be pruned to remove any overgrowth or hazardous branches. However, if the damage is extensive, such as damaging the trunk or exposing roots, the tree may need to be removed. Our arborist can assess the damage and recommend the best course of action. 

The fastest way to get rid of a stump is by using a stump grinder. This specialized machine grinds the stump and root system into small woodchips, which can then be removed or used as an organic mulch. Our stump grinding service is a great way to remove the stump after having a tree removed, safely and efficiently.
