Tree Removal Service

Trees are removed for many reasons. Unfortunately, too many trees are removed because homeowners or maintenance professionals are unaware of alternatives. There is one reason to remove a tree that can't be ignored and that is for safety reasons.



A tree that has become hazardous to the health of people living around it must be removed. Sometimes trees are removed to allow other trees to grow better. Most times, there is an alternative to removing a tree to gain the results desired by the owner of the property.

Tree Stump Grinding


Stump grinding is usually done after the tree in question is taken down and removed, depending on the homeowner's preference. If the tree was taken down in a wooded area or in the middle of the front lawn, it might be left or ground below the surface.



Pricing in done by the distance across the widest part. Loam and grass seed could then be applied. The grinding itself is fairly quick, dependent upon the size or caliber of the stump. The waste is then removed or left on site for the homeowner. The depth is usually 6 to 10 inches below grade. Stump grinding can be done any time of the year, depending on the ground conditions and collateral damage that could possibly occur.

Tree Cabling

Since tree removal should be considered a last resort, often times trees can be preserved with the installation of cables. Cables are installed in trees whose structural integrity is compromised by the presence of two or more main stems that are attached to each other by a "V-shaped" versus a "U-shaped" crotch.


The cable is attached to the two or more main stems to reduce the possibility of the tree splitting apart. Cables are virtually invisible and increase the safety and health of the tree. Ask us to survey your tree to recommend whether cabling is the best course of action.
