Pruning and trimming

Good pruning makes a tree safer and healthier without making it look butchered. We cut at the right spots and never top a tree.

  • Dead and broken wood removed
  • Crown thinning for light and wind
  • Weight taken off long limbs
  • Clearance over roofs and drives
  • Raising low limbs over lawns and walks
  • Young tree shaping

Good to know: Most trees do best with a light prune every few years rather than a heavy cut once in a while.

Tree removal

When a tree is dead, failing or simply in the wrong place, we take it down in sections and lower each piece on ropes. No guesswork, and nothing dropped where it shouldn’t be.

  • Sectional removal in tight spaces
  • Rigging over roofs, fences and gardens
  • Dead and hazard trees
  • Wood left in rounds or hauled
  • Brush chipped on site
  • Stump grinding on request

Good to know: Some neighborhoods ask for a permit before a large tree comes down. We’ll check for you.

Storm and emergency work

After a storm, the order matters: people safe, power lines handled by the utility, then the tree. We answer storm calls first and work through them in order of danger.

  • Trees on roofs, cars and fences
  • Hanging and broken limbs
  • Uprooted and split trees
  • Blocked drives cleared
  • Photos for your insurer
  • Follow-up cleanup visit

Good to know: If a tree is touching a wire, call the power company before anyone else, including us.

Storm help, step by step

Stump grinding

A stump left behind gets in the way of mowing and can sprout again. We grind it below the surface and rake the grindings back or haul them off.

  • Grinding below grade
  • Surface roots chased out
  • Compact grinder for gates and side yards
  • Grindings raked or hauled
  • Topsoil and seed on request
  • Utility lines marked first

Good to know: We always have underground lines marked before we grind. It takes a couple of days and it is worth it.

Tree health checks

Worried about a crack, a lean or a tree that looks thin this year? We take a careful look and tell you what we see, what we’d do and what can wait.

  • A walk around every tree you ask about
  • Crown, trunk and root zone checked
  • Signs of decay and disease
  • Clear notes on what to do and when
  • Photos marked up for you
  • No pressure to book work

Good to know: Sometimes the honest answer is that a tree is fine. We’re happy to say so.

Cabling and bracing

A tree with a weak fork or a heavy limb can often be kept with flexible cables and braces installed high in the crown. It doesn’t make a tree unbreakable, but it lowers the risk.

  • Flexible cable systems
  • Rods for split unions
  • Light pruning to reduce weight
  • Installed by climbers, not lifts
  • Rechecked on your schedule
  • Honest advice on when it won’t help

Good to know: Cables need a look every few years. We’ll remind you when it’s time.
