FAQ

  • The price for removing a tree depends on several details, including its height, where it’s located, and how difficult the job is. We provide complimentary assessments and estimates to evaluate your situation and give you a precise cost.

  • Whether you need a permit to remove a tree depends on local rules and the conditions of your property. Our team can review the situation for you and, if necessary, help you through obtaining the required permit.

  • Once the tree is taken down, we make sure your property is left clean and tidy. The wood and debris can be chipped, hauled away, or neatly stacked on-site—whichever option you prefer. During your consultation, we’ll go over the cleanup choices so everything is handled exactly the way you want.

  • Most trees benefit from pruning every 1–3 years, depending on the species, age, and growth rate. We can recommend a schedule based on your tree’s condition.

  • Trimming maintains the hedge’s shape, while reduction removes more growth to decrease height or width. We determine which method is best for your hedge’s condition.
