Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! We provide free, no-obligation estimates for all tree services. Simply contact us by phone, email, or through our website form, and we'll schedule a convenient time to visit your property, assess the work needed, and provide a detailed written quote. There's no pressure or commitment required.

Tree removal costs vary depending on several factors including tree size, location, accessibility, condition, and complexity of the job. Small trees may cost a few hundred dollars, while large or difficult trees can cost more. We provide transparent pricing with detailed estimates so you know exactly what to expect before we begin work.

For your convenience, we accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover). Payment is typically due upon completion of the work. For larger projects, we can discuss payment arrangements during the estimate process.

No! We believe in transparent pricing with no surprises. Our detailed estimate includes all costs: labor, equipment, debris removal, and cleanup. The price we quote is the price you pay, unless you request additional services beyond the original scope of work.

Signs that a tree may need removal include: dead or dying branches, significant lean, large cracks in the trunk, root damage, disease or pest infestation, proximity to structures or power lines creating hazards, or storm damage. If you're unsure, we offer free assessments and will provide honest recommendations about whether removal is necessary.

Tree trimming typically focuses on maintaining appearance and removing overgrown branches for aesthetics and safety. Pruning is more focused on the tree's health, removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches to promote healthy growth and proper structure. Both services are important for tree maintenance, and we can recommend which is best for your trees.

Yes! We specialize in difficult removals near structures, power lines, and tight spaces. We use specialized equipment and techniques like rigging and crane services when necessary to safely remove trees without damaging your property. For trees near power lines, we coordinate with utility companies when required.

We haul away and properly dispose of all tree debris as part of our service. If you'd like to keep some or all of the wood for firewood, just let us know and we'll cut it to your preferred length and stack it for you. We recycle wood whenever possible to minimize environmental impact.

Stump grinding/removal is typically a separate service from tree removal. We can cut the tree flush with the ground as part of removal, but grinding the stump below ground level requires specialized equipment and is priced separately. We're happy to provide a quote for both services together or separately.

While trees can be trimmed year-round, late fall through early spring (when trees are dormant) is often ideal for most species. However, the best timing depends on the tree type and your specific goals. Dead or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. We can advise on optimal timing for your specific trees during the estimate.

We take great care to minimize impact on your lawn and landscaping. We use protective measures like plywood mats to distribute equipment weight, careful planning to avoid flower beds and other landscaping features, and thorough cleanup. While some minor impact is sometimes unavoidable with large equipment, we always work to preserve your property.

Safety is our top priority. Our crew members are fully trained and certified, we use proper safety equipment (harnesses, helmets, protective gear), follow OSHA standards, establish work zones to keep people at safe distances, and conduct thorough site assessments before beginning work. We also carry comprehensive insurance for added protection.

We take every precaution to prevent damage, but in the rare event that something is damaged, we're fully insured and will make it right. Our comprehensive liability insurance covers property damage, and we'll work directly with you to resolve any issues quickly and professionally.

We'll discuss this during your estimate. Typically, we ask that you move vehicles from the immediate work area and driveway for safety and access. For outdoor furniture, we'll let you know if anything needs to be moved based on the work zone. We can also help move items if needed.
