When to Call for Tree Removal Services
Not every tree needs to come down, but some situations make removal the safest option. You should contact a professional tree service if you notice any of the following:
- Dead or Dying Trees – Trees that no longer produce leaves or show signs of life can quickly become hazardous.
- Diseased or Declining Trees – Infected trees weaken over time and may spread disease to nearby healthy trees.
- Unwanted or Invasive Trees – Certain species can overtake your yard, block sunlight, or disrupt landscaping plans.
- Trees Causing Damage – Roots or branches interfering with foundations, driveways, roofs, or utility lines.
- Storm-Damaged Trees – Broken, split, or leaning trees after high winds or severe weather.
- Structural Defects – Trees with large cracks, hollow trunks, or unstable growth patterns that pose safety risks.
- Fallen Trees – Any tree that has come down on your home, driveway, or property and needs immediate removal.
- Disease Prevention – Removing a severely infected tree to protect surrounding healthy trees.
Our Tree Removal Process
We tailor our services to the unique needs of each client, ensuring that the work we recommend makes sense for your specific situation. While every project is different, we typically follow a standard process to ensure quality, safety, and customer satisfaction:
1. Evaluation & Estimate
We begin by meeting with you on-site to understand your concerns, inspect the trees, and identify any obstacles or site-specific challenges. This helps us provide an accurate estimate for the work. It’s also the right time to request Certificates of Insurance (COIs). Please note, all COIs must come directly from our insurance agent, this is to protect you and ensure legitimacy.
2. Scheduling
Once the estimate is approved, we schedule the work based on the complexity of the job, the crew and equipment needed, and—most importantly—what works best for your schedule. We aim to be flexible and considerate of your time and routine.
3. Execution of Work
Our trained and uniformed crew of professional arborists will arrive with all necessary, well-maintained equipment to carry out your tree care needs. We prioritize safety and professionalism from start to finish. Before work begins, we prefer to do a walkthrough with you to make sure expectations are clear. Throughout the job, we focus on safety, efficiency, and protecting your property. Once the job is done, we ensure a thorough cleanup, leaving your yard as tidy (or better) than we found it. If you’re available, our foreman or manager will walk you through the completed work.
4. Billing
After confirming you’re satisfied with the job, we’ll send your invoice via email (or mail, if preferred). It will include a secure link for online payment and instructions for other available payment methods.
Important: You should never be asked to pay for tree work before it’s completed. We believe trust is earned through quality service, not upfront fees.

Is There a Difference Between Tree Removal and Tree Cutting?
Yes, there is a difference. Tree cutting usually refers to taking down part of a tree, such as trimming large limbs, cutting back overgrowth, or felling only a portion of the tree. It is often done for maintenance, safety, or to improve sunlight and airflow.
Tree removal, on the other hand, means taking the entire tree out – from the trunk to the stump. Removal is typically needed when a tree is dead, diseased, storm-damaged, or causing structural problems on your property. In many cases, removal also includes stump grinding to eliminate tripping hazards and prevent regrowth.
If you are unsure which service your property needs, a certified arborist can evaluate the situation and recommend whether cutting, pruning, or full removal is the safest and most effective option.
