Every removal is its own puzzle, but most fall into one of these. Tap a tab to see how we run it.
Storm-damaged
Hangers, split trunks, and tops snapped off mid-canopy. We tarp what needs tarping, take down what's still live and dangerous, and document everything for the insurance call.
- Emergency response if a tree is on a structure
- Photos and itemized invoice for your adjuster
- Tarping until a roofer takes over
- Hanger removal walk-throughs after big wind events
Hazard tree
Dead crown, structural cracks, a lean that's getting worse. We assess what's left of the wood, plan the rigging, and bring it down on our timeline instead of the weather's.
- Climber-led drop where the lean dictates the plan
- Rigging from sound wood above the defect
- Coordination with the utility on any line risk
- Honest 'save vs. remove' read from the ground
Lot clearing
Single tree or full property — clearing for a build, a driveway expansion, or a new outbuilding. Coordinated with the contractor's schedule and the survey stakes.
- Selective clearing that keeps the trees you want
- Full clearing for driveways, foundations, septic
- Wood and chips hauled off or piled to grade
- Stump grinding scheduled to follow if needed
From the first walk to the last rake
How a removal
actually runs.
- 01
Walk the property
We meet on site, mark the targets that have to stay intact, and look at every angle the tree could leave from. Nothing gets cut until the plan is clear.
02Stage the gear
Mats and plywood under the truck, drop zone marked, rigging set, climbing system inspected. The slowest part of the job is the part that keeps the property whole.
03Cut and lower
Climber in the canopy, groundsman on the bull rope. Each piece weighed up before it leaves the tree, lowered to the drop zone, and broken down on the ground.
04Restore the site
Brush chipped, chunks loaded out or stacked for firewood, lawn raked. The site you walk after we leave is cleaner than the one we showed up to.
What we work around
Nothing under
it gets touched.
The whole point of rigging is that the property stays the way it was when we got there. These are the things we plan around on every job.
- 01
Your house
Roofs, gutters, siding, eaves — nothing gets touched by the wood we take out.
- 02
Service lines
Power drops, cable, gas meters. We rig away from them, coordinate with the utility when needed.
- 03
Lawn & beds
Plywood and mats under the truck. Brush carried, not dragged. Beds and irrigation marked first.
- 04
Fences & decks
Pieces lowered past anything fragile. If it can't be rigged past it, we don't take it that way.
- 05
Driveway & vehicles
Mats over the drive where the chipper rolls. Cars relocated or covered before the work starts.
- 06
Pets & people
Pets indoors during the cut. A clear perimeter around the drop zone for the whole job.
Common questions
Removal
questions.
The questions we hear most when folks call us about a removal.
01What does a tree removal cost?
Removals are quoted in person because the price moves with the variables — the size and species of the tree, what's around it, how we have to access the property, and how much cleanup is involved. A backyard pine over open ground is a different job than a hardwood over a roof.02Do I have to be home?
Not for the work itself, as long as we've walked the job together first and you've signed off on the plan. You're welcome to be there if you'd like.03What about my lawn and landscaping?
On most residential jobs we use plywood or mats under the truck and ground gear to keep ruts out of the lawn. We talk through anything fragile — sprinklers, beds, fences — before any equipment moves.04How do you decide whether to climb or use the bucket truck?
Whichever gets the job done safely with the least disturbance to the property. Tight backyards usually mean climbing. Open access on the front of a property often means the bucket truck. Sometimes both, on the same job.
