Tree removal

When a tree has to come down.

Big oaks over older houses, tall pines on lot lines, trees on sloped yards. A tree usually needs to come down for one of these reasons:

  • Dead or dying trees
  • Trees leaning toward the house
  • Trees over the house or garage
  • Storm-damaged or split trees
  • Trees in the way of building or landscaping
  • Roots and limbs causing property problems

Stumps

Get your yard back from old stumps.

Ground below the grass line, or dug out root ball and all. They solve different problems, and we'll tell you which one fits the spot.

Stump grinding

A cutter wheel chews the stump into chips below the surface. The roots stay in the ground and break down.

Best when

  • You want the lawn back with the least disturbance
  • The stump is near the house, walks, or beds
  • Access is tight, like a backyard gate
  • You just want the visible stump gone below grade

Trade-offs

  • Roots stay in the ground
  • A pile of grindings to rake in, spread, or haul
  • A few species can sprout from old roots

Excavator stump removal

An excavator digs out the stump, the root ball, and the major roots attached to it.

Best when

  • You're building, pouring, or putting in hardscape there
  • The ground is being dug or regraded anyway
  • You want the stump physically out of the ground
  • Land clearing with several stumps to take out

Trade-offs

  • A bigger hole and more soil disturbed
  • Tracks and torn turf around the dig
  • Backfill and grading afterward
  • Needs room for the machine, and isn't for spots right against foundations or buried lines

Land & property work

Overgrown ground, back in use.

The same crew and equipment that take trees and stumps out can clear the brush around them, grade the ground, and haul the debris away, so one job doesn't turn into three contractors.

Land & lot clearing
Trees, brush, and stumps cleared for a build, a pasture, or a fence line, keeping the trees worth keeping.
Driveway edges
Brush and saplings that have crept over the shoulders cut back and the edge made mowable again.
Grading
Cleared or disturbed ground smoothed and graded so it drains and can be used.
Brush clearing & haul-off
Brush piles, storm debris, and overgrown fence rows cleared and hauled away.

Questions

Common questions

Don't see yours? Each service page and the homeowner guides go deeper. Or just ask us.

How much does tree removal cost?

It depends on the tree and what's around it: size, condition, lean, how close it is to the house, how equipment gets to it, and how much cleanup you want. Send photos or have us take a look, and you'll get a clear price before any work starts.

Can you quote from photos?

Often, yes. Photos of the whole tree, the base of the trunk, what's nearby, and the way in are usually enough for a straightforward job. Bigger or trickier jobs may need a quick visit.

What about the stump?

Your call. It can be ground down below the surface, dug out with the root ball using an excavator, or left alone, which is common out in the woods. Tell us what the spot is for next and we'll recommend one. It can be part of the removal or done later.

What happens to the wood and debris?

Cleanup and debris haul-off can be included in the estimate. If you'd prefer usable wood left on site, let us know before the job and we'll account for that in the scope.
