Stump Removal

Grinding of stump is the best and most affordable method to handle your unwanted stumps. We can handle stumps of all sizes. We have specialized equipment and machines that have the ability to remove tree stumps in order for a new tree to be planted in the same area.

Tree Removal

We strive to be delicate when doing tree removal services. We exercise a safe environment, fast service and efficient work- taking great care to be precise in everything from the cuts to the neatness of your property before we leave. We are experts at dangerous tree removal process, especially around delicate landscapes and structures. We DO NOT climb with spurs in live trees, as this can cause damage. Spikes should only be used for dead tree removal

Pruning

Pruning is the most common tree maintenance procedure. We do all pruning and trimming in accordance with ISA standards. Pruning is done with an understanding of how the tree responds to each cut. Because each cut has the potential to change the growth of the tree, no branch should be removed without a reason.

Most common reasons for pruning are to remove dead branches and to remove crowed or rubbing limbs. Trees may also be pruned to increase light and air diffusion.

Chipping/Brush Removal

We use our chippers to chip limbs and brush- then haul it away. We can chip old debris that needs disposal at your request. Contact us for prices on chipping services.

It is important to remember that tree limbing is a long-term project. Even the most self-assured do-it-yourselfer may want to rely on the expertise of a professional tree service on this one. When you have located tree service providers, how do you separate the wheat from the chaff for such a dangerous undertaking as tree limbing (or tree removal)?

Warnings About Hiring Tree Services

Driving around the neighborhood in a pickup truck with a chainsaw and hollering sales pitches may not be suitable for a job that demands such a high level of responsibility. It is likely that the primary consideration for a consumer in dangerous work such as this will be whether or not the tree services have the necessary insurance. Request to see certificates of liability insurance and workman’s compensation insurance, and confirm that they are current. Contact the insurance company to verify current policy information.

You should be cautious of tree services that require payment in advance and who wish to begin work without giving you a free estimate of the cost. Actually, consumers should also demand a written contract, outlining precisely what the tree limbing job entails and how much it will cost. When limbing trees whose preservation and appearance is important to you, always demand that tree services ascend through the tree using ropes or with an aerial lift rather than using climbing spikes. A spike can damage the cambium of a healthy tree. Therefore, you should never be talked into staking a tree that is important to you.

Find out if tree services are prepared to take appropriate action in the event of an accident. When removing limbs that are located directly over telephone wires entering your house, a tree service should have experience in splicing together damaged wires. To prevent such damage in the first place, skilled, experienced professionals will be able to carefully control the fall of limbs using ropes. With electrical wires, the risk is escalated:

While most large tree service companies have someone who can repair telephone and cable wires if they should get cut, no company will re-splice your electrical service cable. This is a direct connection from the utility company, and they need to shut down the cable at the transformer. You may need to take out the power from your neighbors as well. Also, electrical service cables are usually wrapped with wire rope, so if they break, there is damage at the masthead (where the cable attaches to the house), so an electrician will have to repair this as well.

Make sure you know in advance how much tree service the company you hire will charge you. Will only limbs of the tree be removed, or will the whole tree be removed? If the former, will they grind the tree stump, or will you be removing the tree stump yourself? Many of your landscaping decisions may be influenced by cost if you are working on a budget. Prices can vary depending on where you live, but in general you can expect to pay upwards of $1500 to have a large tree completely removed from your property. A typical limbing operation may cost approximately $500.

Word of Mouth and References

Finally, it never hurts to ask around yourself. Use word of mouth by striking up conversations about the subject with neighbors. Perhaps someone else in the neighborhood once had a tree limb fall unexpectedly onto her living room carpet, accompanied by a shower of glass, due to the incompetence of a tree service firm.

On the other hand, tree service companies that do a good job will benefit from word of mouth and will be more than happy to provide contact information for satisfied clients. Any time you deal with a professional who will be working around your home, don't be afraid to ask for references.

How much does it cost to trim trees? Don't let your remodel budget go over-board by unexpected costs – find out what an average installed cost for tree trimming is.

Licensed tree service professionals know firsthand what each level of service should cost — from Simple, to Medium Difficulty, to Complex.

• A Simple Tree usually includes cutting back fewer branches – low-hanging tree branches.

• Medium Difficulty – This usually refers to removing moderate tree branches that hang over roofs or are difficult to remove.

• Complex – This normally includes removing branches that require heavy machinery, bucket-truck, or crane services to reach higher limbs — FYI, if you have a tree limb or branch hanging over a power-line, call your utility company and they should remove the branch at no additional cost to you.

The typical tree trimming cost is $375- $475 per tree less than 25′ tall. Once the tree surpasses 25′ tall the cost will rise since heavier equipment is required, such as: Boom-trucks or a Crane service.

An overview of what it costs to hire a professional tree experts trimmer near you is presented below:

• Trimming trees up to 25 ft in height usually range between $375 and $475.

• It costs between $700 and $1,000 to trim medium trees between 30 and 50 feet in height.

• Trimming tall trees that are 50 feet or taller, like a spruce, oak, or pine, can cost up to $1,500.

Business bureaus recommend getting quotes from three different tree service businesses. These tips will help you out by directing you to pros in your area with great reviews. This will help you compare prices quickly and make an informed decision.

What to check for:

References & Reviews – A tree care company should be able to provide three references from three recent jobs. If the business refuses to provide references, it is probably a good idea not to hire that tree trimmer.

Licensing & Credentials – Ask for proof that a tree-trimming business is properly licensed to perform services in your area. Not all states require a formal license, but some local agencies might expect one.

Check Insurance Coverage – The Better Business Bureau recommends that you ask whether the company has the necessary insurance coverage, such as a general liability policy, a property damage policy and a workers’ compensation policy. If something goes wrong, a tree-trimming business that isn't insured could lead to additional expenses on your end.

Ask For A Contract - You should always request a contract to be signed before work begins. The contract should list the start and finish dates, the cost, and the work to be completed and should contain fine print.

Payment Security – Is the work to be done in stages? If so, stagger payments across the stages and do not make a final payment until the work has been completed. Don't make a large upfront deposit.

Look out for red flags

These are four of the warning signs that the tree-trimming business might be shady:

• You get a discount if you sign a contract on the spot.

• Someone is going from house to house advertising tree-trimming or tree care services.

• Someone is demanding a decision be made right away.

• Cash is the only acceptable method of payment.
