Our Tree Removal Process
How We Safely Remove Trees
Every tree removal follows a systematic approach designed to maximize safety and minimize property impact. Our process has been refined through thousands of successful projects.
Step 1: Initial Assessment Our certified arborist visits your property to evaluate the tree, surrounding structures, overhead utilities, and access routes. We identify potential challenges and discuss your concerns and goals.
Step 2: Detailed Removal Plan Based on our assessment, we develop a comprehensive removal strategy. For complex situations, this may include crane assistance, rigging plans, and specialized techniques to protect your property.
Step 3: Permit Assistance If your municipality requires tree removal permits, we help navigate the application process and ensure all necessary documentation is completed correctly.
Step 4: Site Preparation Before work begins, we establish clear safety zones, protect landscaping with ground protection mats when needed, and position equipment for optimal efficiency and minimal lawn impact.
Step 5: Systematic Dismantling For trees near structures or in confined spaces, we carefully dismantle the tree from top to bottom. Each section is rigged and lowered under control, preventing damage to your property.

Tree Removal Methods
Specialized Techniques for Every Situation
Different trees and locations require different removal approaches. We employ the method best suited to your specific circumstances.
Sectional Dismantling The most common method for residential tree removal, sectional dismantling involves climbing the tree and removing it piece by piece from top to bottom. Using ropes, rigging, and precision cutting, we lower each section safely to the ground. This method works well in tight spaces and near structures.
Crane-Assisted Removal For large trees in challenging locations or when efficiency is paramount, crane-assisted removal provides the safest, quickest solution. The crane lifts entire sections over structures, eliminating the need for rigging and dramatically reducing time and property impact.
Straight Felling When adequate space allows, we may fell smaller trees in one piece using directional cutting techniques. This efficient method is typically used for trees in open areas away from structures and obstacles.
Emergency Removal Storm-damaged or fallen trees require immediate attention. Our emergency crews assess the situation, stabilize hazards, and remove dangerous trees quickly to restore safety and access to your property.
What Happens to Removed Trees
Responsible Wood Recycling and Disposal
We believe in environmental responsibility and maximizing the value of removed trees whenever possible.
Wood Recycling Options
Firewood Hardwood trees can be cut into firewood lengths for your use or donated to community members who heat with wood. We can stack it neatly on your property or haul it away.
Lumber and Milling High-quality trees suitable for lumber may have value to local sawmills. We can recommend mobile sawmill services if you’re interested in keeping specialty wood for projects.
Mulch Production Branches and smaller wood are chipped into mulch, which can be left for your landscaping use or removed. Our chips are chemical-free and excellent for garden beds and pathways.
Commercial Recycling Wood unsuitable for other uses goes to commercial recycling facilities where it’s processed into industrial mulch, compost, or biomass fuel.
Responsible Disposal In cases where wood cannot be recycled—such as diseased trees that could spread pathogens—we ensure proper disposal according to environmental regulations.
