When is tree removal necessary?
Tree removal is necessary when a tree is dead, diseased, structurally unsound, interfering with structures or power lines, or poses a safety hazard to your property. Our team can assess your trees and recommend the best course of action.
How long does tree removal take?
The duration of tree removal depends on the size, location, and complexity of the job. Most standard tree removals can be completed within a day, while larger or high-risk removals may require additional time.
How often should trees be trimmed?
Most trees benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years, though this varies by species, age, and location. Regular trimming promotes healthy growth, removes dead or dangerous branches, and maintains the tree's aesthetic appeal.
What's the difference between tree trimming and pruning?
Tree trimming typically refers to cutting back overgrown branches for aesthetic purposes and to maintain shape, while pruning focuses on the tree's health by removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches. Both services are essential for proper tree maintenance.
Can you trim trees near power lines?
Yes, we specialize in high-risk tree trimming, including work near power lines. Our experienced team follows strict safety protocols and coordinates with utility companies when necessary to ensure safe and compliant service.
What does land clearing include?
Our land and lot clearing services include removing trees, brush, stumps, and vegetation to prepare your property for construction, landscaping, or other projects. We handle both residential and commercial land clearing with efficient equipment and experienced techniques.
Do I need permits for land clearing?
Permit requirements vary by location and project scope. We can help you understand local regulations and, in many cases, assist with the permitting process to ensure your land clearing project complies with all applicable laws.
