A tree has fallen in your yard, or it has died. Perhaps it's getting too big, or it's just not in a good place. Should you remove it yourself? We suggest you reach out to us, as our professionals are trained to handle tree removal safely. There are many factors to consider! 

When Should You Remove a Tree?

A tree may need removal if it:

• Has fallen
• Is dead or diseased
• Has grown too large
• It is located too close to a structure

Attempting to remove a tree yourself can be dangerous. Our trained professionals handle tree removal safely and efficiently.

Employing tools like:

Why Removing a Fallen Tree Is More Affordable

Removing a fallen tree is usually faster, safer, and less expensive than removing a standing tree. Here's a breakdown of the key reasons:

1. No Climbing or Rigging Required
   Standing trees often require professional climbers, safety harnesses, ropes, and cranes to take them down safely. A fallen tree is already on the ground, eliminating the need for complex rigging or aerial equipment.
2. Lower Risk to Workers and Property
   Tree removal at height involves significant safety risks. These risks increase insurance costs and require more specialized labor. Fallen trees present fewer hazards, reducing liability and overall cost.
3. Less Time and Equipment Needed
   Removing a fallen tree typically takes less time and fewer resources. There’s no need for bucket trucks, cranes, or extended crew hours — unless the tree is tangled in structures or utility lines.
4. Easier Cleanup Process
   Once a tree has fallen, cleanup is straightforward. Crews simply cut the tree into sections and haul it away. In contrast, standing trees require careful planning and staged removal of branches and trunk sections.
5. Fewer Permits and Regulatory Delays
   Many cities require permits or inspections to remove live or healthy trees. These regulations can delay the process and increase costs. Fallen trees, especially those damaged by storms or decay, usually don’t require special approval.
