Removal Process
How We Safely Dismantle Trees
We don't just fell trees blindly. We use controlled rigging techniques to safely lower heavy limbs to the ground without damaging your lawn or house.
02Step
Climbing & Rigging
For tight spaces, our climbers ascend the tree, using ropes and pulleys to cut and lower branches gently to the ground.
03Step
Felling & Bucking
Once the canopy is removed, we fell the main trunk in sections, cutting the heavy wood into manageable pieces.
04Step
Chipping & Complete Cleanup
We run all branches through a commercial chipper, haul away the heavy logs, and rake the yard clean of debris.
Tree Care Decisions
Trimming vs. Full Removal
We always prefer to save a tree if possible. We help you determine if a tree is a liability or just needs a good haircut.
Signs of a Dying Tree
Look for extensive missing bark, deep cracks in the trunk, mushroom growth at the base, or a canopy that is mostly dead branches.
Canopy Thinning
Removing interior crossing branches allows wind to blow *through* the tree rather than pushing against it like a sail, preventing it from uprooting in a storm.
Roof Clearance
Branches should be kept at least 6 to 8 feet away from your roof to prevent shingle damage, mold growth, and easy access for squirrels/raccoons.
The Emerald Ash Borer
This invasive beetle has killed thousands of Ash trees in WNY. If you have a dead Ash tree, it becomes incredibly brittle and must be removed immediately.
Don't Forget the Stump
Cutting down the tree is only half the battle. Leftover stumps are ugly tripping hazards that attract termites.
- We use powerful stump grinders to pulverize the stump 6-8 inches below ground.
- We grind the exposed surface roots that ruin lawnmower blades.
- We can remove the woodchips and backfill the hole with fresh topsoil and grass seed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tree Removal FAQs
Are you fully insured for tree work?
Yes. Tree removal is high-risk. We carry comprehensive liability and worker's compensation insurance specifically coded for tree work to fully protect your property.
Can you remove a tree that is right next to my house?
Yes. We specialize in tight-quarters removals. We use advanced roping and rigging techniques to safely lower branches piece by piece so nothing crashes onto your roof.
Do I have to keep the wood?
No. Our standard pricing includes hauling away all brush, branches, and heavy logs. If you prefer to keep the wood for firewood, we can cut it into 16-inch rounds and leave it for you at a discounted rate.
Can you top my tree to make it shorter?
We strongly advise against 'topping' trees. It permanently ruins the tree's structure, causes rapid decay, and promotes weak, dangerous sucker growth. We utilize proper crown reduction techniques instead.
