Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my tree needs to be removed?
A professional tree cutting service will be able to assess your tree and identify whether removal is necessary. Warning signs of a dead or decaying tree include leaning, cracks in the trunk and chipped or peeling bark.
Are there any alternatives to removing the tree?
If you want to remove the tree to improve the appearance of your yard or because it’s blocking sunlight to other plants, you might want to hire a tree trimming service instead. They will be able to prune the tree, thinning out branches to let the light through. 
When is the best time of year to remove a tree?
Trees that have been hit during a storm or that are decaying should be removed as soon as you spot the damage. Otherwise, you might risk branches falling onto people, pets, or property. If the problem is less urgent, consider removing your tree during the winter or very early spring, as they can be easier to remove when branches are bare. 
How much does it cost to remove a very large tree?
Removing trees that are more than 80 feet tall is a very complex process, and more costly than removing smaller varieties. The cost can rise to $1,800*, particularly if there are complications such as nearby power lines or pipes.
