What is involved in the tree removal process

When it comes to tree removal, there are numerous specialty tools our licensed tree removal technicians utilize. First we try to cut the tree into sections from the top all the way to the bottom. This might be lot less awesome and appealing as felling an entire tree, but it is the safest method. Felling an entire tree is normally restricted to woodsy areas and logging companies. Depending on the size of the tree we will normally use a lifting device such as a crane which normally allows us to prevent the tree from landing on the ground and damaging other nearby objects such as your porch, home or sheds. When a majority of the tree is down we then use stump grinder trim the stump while providing you some mulch as well. Or we can completely remove the tree from The Roots by digging around the root system and removing it very precisely.This is a more costly option

Should I remove the tree next to my house?

The answer to this question is, it depends. A large tree next to a house can provide much needed shade and sun protection during the hot months however the same tree can also dig into your roof shingles or cause you roof to rot away prematurely from excessive moisture. Not to mention a near by tree increases the amount of work needed to remove leaves from your rain gutter system. If the tree is close enough to the property your foundation can also be at compromised as well.

If you are unsure whether or not to remove the tree from your property give us a call and we will conduct a free consultation.

There are many reasons to keep a nearby tree or remove it, sometimes all is needed is just a trim, to keep everything stable and in symbiosis

How expensive is the service?

Again, the answer to a question like this is, it depends. the number of factors to consider when quoting a tree trimming or tree removal job. Factors such as the proximity to near by structures, how tall the tree itself is, as well as the diameter and accessibility of the tree. Other factors include how far away the job site is, as mileage and travel time may have to come into play depending on the location off the job site.

We have been able to remove smaller trees for a couple hundred dollars and we have also have removed trees for several thousand dollars as well. If you want a better idea of how much the service would cost give us a call and we would be more than happy to take a tour of the site and see what we would be working with

When is the best time to prune a tree?

Ideally one would want to be pruning their trees year-round. This will ensure the highest quality specimen as it continues to grow. In our industry most arborists prefer to do pruning work in the winter time when there are no leaves on the tree. Typically around fall and winter as the entire trees branch system can be analyzed. Things such as rotting, disease , infestations, major cracks and other important things are easier to assess.

If i want to prune myself, what tools do I need?

If you want to prune a tree yourself there are several tools you will need, some more important than others depending on the size of the tree. If you are pruning a smaller tree there are three tools which are necessary. These three tools are hand pruners, loppers and a hand saw. It is very important to have these sharpened before beginning the pruning job , and if a tree is very young do not use shares.

If it is a much larger tree consider having a chainsaw on hand as larger branches will not be easily cut through using a hand saw. Also have some rope on hand to catch falling branches if they are close to something you would not want them to hit. But if you are at this point considered giving us a call to help you with this project
