When You Need Removal

Not every tree should come down. The ones that should, can't wait.

We start every estimate by asking whether the tree actually needs to be removed. Sometimes the answer is no — a hard prune or a cabling job will buy the tree another decade. Sometimes the answer is "yesterday." Knowing the difference is what 25 years of climbing trees gets you.

If you're looking at any of the signs below, call us for a free estimate. We'll tell you straight — remove, save, or wait. No upsell.

Urgent

New lean

A trunk that wasn't leaning last year. If it tilted recently, it may be ready to fall.

Urgent

Heaving roots

Soil mounding around the base. The root plate is letting go — failure can come fast.

Urgent

Vertical cracks

Splits running down the trunk. A failure plane forming under load — don't wait for a storm.

Urgent

Storm damage

Broken limbs, hangers, or structural failure after high winds, ice, or lightning.

Watch closely

Base decay

Fungus, cavities, or rotted bark at the trunk's base — often the tip of internal rot.

Watch closely

Crown deadwood

Dead branches in the upper canopy that drop unpredictably under wind load.

Watch closely

EAB damage

D-shaped holes and a dying canopy on ash trees. Whole stand often goes together.

Plan ahead

Site clearance

New build, addition, or driveway expansion that needs trees gone first.

The Removal Sequence

Four steps. Same on every removal.

A 30-foot ornamental in a tight side yard and a 90-foot oak over your roof take different gear, but they run the same playbook.

Size Up

Hector or his foreman walks the site, identifies the tree, the drop zone, the hazards within reach, and where the bucket truck or crane needs to set up. Insurance markers go on anything we'll work around.

Brief

The crew gets the cut order, the rigging plan, the escape route, and the radio assignments. No one swings a chainsaw until everyone knows the plan.

Execute

Sectional cuts when we're tight to structures. Whole-fell when we have the room. Crane-assisted when the lay is wrong. Speed comes from preparation, not shortcuts.

Leave It Better

Chip the brush. Haul the rounds. Rake the lawn. Sweep the driveway. We don't pack up until the property looks like we were never there — except the tree's gone.

What We Run

Pro equipment for jobs that demand it.

Removals get dangerous fast when crews are under-equipped. We run a full pro fleet so we can bring the right tool to the right tree — no compromises, no improvising mid-job.

  • Pro-class 12-inch wood chipper — eats green hardwood and clears properties fast, no debris piles left behind
  • Class 6/7 chip trucks — branded, full dump-bed capacity, every load hauled the same day
  • Bucket truck — aerial boom for canopy work where climbing isn't the right call
  • Compact track loader — log handling, cleanup, turf-friendly residential access
  • Climbing & rigging kit — pro saws, certified harnesses, Trees & Co. branded rigging plates, inspected pre-job
  • Crane access — for 80-foot oaks over rooflines, pools, or power lines when the lay's wrong

What It Costs

Free estimate. Honest pricing. No surprise fees.

Tree removal pricing depends on three things: size, location, and complexity. A 40-foot ash in an open back yard costs a fraction of a 90-foot oak over a swimming pool. We'll come out, look at the tree, and give you a written estimate the same week — usually within 24 hours.

What you won't see from us: low-ball quotes that climb during the job, vague "starting at" prices, or surprise fees for cleanup or hauling. The quote you sign is the price you pay.

Most jobs scoped same-week. Storm and emergency work runs first-in, first-out, regardless of who called.
