A: This is a common question asked.  Unfortunately, it is impossible to answer without first seeing the tree in person and its location. Every tree, its location, and obstacles are different, therefore the cost can vary significantly.  The cost to remove or prune a tree is based on many factors.  Some of these factors are as follows: size of the tree, the removal method required (i.e. bucket lift, climbing, amount of rigging needed), the location and ability to access the tree, along with safety concerns including electrical lines and structures, tree condition and the complexity of the work needed. Our Quote takes the above described factors into consideration.

A:  Yes, we work through the winter!  This is a great time for tree removals as the ground is frozen.  Keep in mind you may find branches that appear after all the snow as melted that were unable to be seen during clean up due to snow coverage.  In winter, we can run into delays due to snow and temperatures.  If we cannot get access during the winter months, we will complete the work when accessible.

A: Three main reasons for pruning trees include safety, tree health, and aesthetics. Proper tree pruning increases flower & fruit production, encourages growth, as well as enhancing the visual beauty of your property.

Safety: Removing broken or dead branches eliminates hazards that could cause injury or property damage.

Tree Health: Removing diseased or dead wood, thinning the crown to help proper airflow are all ways to care for trees and protect your investment.  Proper pruning helps develop strong tree structure and reduce the likelihood of damage from severe weather. 

Aesthetics:  Increases the “curb appeal” of your property!  With properly managed trees they will provide years (often decades!) of beauty.

A: Conifers can be pruned any time of the year, winter pruning can help reduce sap flow from the cut. Most trees are best pruned in the dormant season, this maximizes wound closure.  Most trees that flower should be pruned in early spring, however there are some that should be pruned during their dormant season. Dead branches should be removed any time of year.

A: Most stumps are an eye sore.  They can be used for decorative purposes; however, this can attract unwanted bugs and pests.  Removing the tripping hazard creates a safer area.  Makes mowing a lot easier with less to trim around. 

A: Stump grinding costs depend on many factors.  We use different equipment to remove stumps based on size, location, species, condition of stump and access.  Stumps and trunk/root flare are ground below grade to about an 8″ depth.  Typically, we offer this service to customer’s that are having us remove their tree as a full service and do not offer it as a stand-alone service.  If you have several stumps or a very large stump, please check with us to see if we can assist you.
