"They waited for the proper time of year for the oak tree, and did an excellent job trimming that oak tree when the tree was in pretty rough condition. They also did an excellent job on a locust tree that was in a difficult position next to a shed and the neighbor's house and over a chain link fence. Both area's were cleaned up very well after the job was complete. The price was also very competitive. "

We do everything from site clearing , driveways, grading , demolition and much more. We service a 100 mile radius and are open to working within the entire state. If you need us call today.

"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected. "

"Morning of 8/28 @ 8am I was told by Eric I was on that Day's schedule for service to be completed. Crew shows up at 4:30pm and cuts down tree leaving all the debris laying in the middle of the yard, And just leave the job unfinished. I reached out to Eric again with my concerns and asked when everything would get cleaned up, including stump removal. He assured me after a slight mechanical issue with one of the trucks, that his crew would be back later that night to remove the stump and clean up all the debris. Finally a guy shows up a couple hours later and removes the stump, this time leaving another HUGE mess of wood chips all over my yard, and all the tree debris just continued to lay in the middle of my yard untouched. And, once again, the guy just leaves with ZERO communication! I expressed my frustration to Eric, who continued to just makeup excuses. I told him I was dissatisfied with the quality of service and I'd be talking with the owner Jake. Eric became rude and unfriendly to work with. I spoke with Jake and explained the days events and my frustration with the quality of his crew. He too was rude and not willing to take responsibility for the poor quality. Worst at communication l. Will never use again or recommend"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

The safest way to cut down a tree is to make sure you’re completely prepared and have done all the necessary safety checks, including double-checking your equipment is in good working order, you have plenty of clearance to fell the tree, you’re wearing all the safety gear, and you have a partner to help you (who should also be wearing safety gear). 

There are four common ways to prune a tree correctly: crown thinning, crown reduction, crown raising, and crown cleaning. The method you choose depends on the purpose of pruning. However, making the correct cuts is a vital part of the process, regardless of your method. Pruning incorrectly can damage or even kill the tree. So, you may want to hire a professional tree-trimming company to tackle the task. 

Transporting a fully-grown tree requires heavy equipment, typically specialized for the task. A tree spade is a truck-mounted tool that removes the tree from the ground in one location, transports it, and places it in a new hole in a new location. A combination of mechanized shovels and lifts is necessary to move very large trees, and the exact tools often depend on location and the surrounding area.

It’s not always easy to tell when a tree is dying, although signs like dropping branches and brittle bark can sometimes offer clues. It can also be difficult to know whether a tree is dead or dormant, especially if it’s a deciduous tree. You’ll want to wait until a growth season to get a good idea of a tree’s health. When in doubt, contact an arborist for a consultation.

Grinding down a tree helps reduce the risk of foundation damage and pests and even helps your home’s curb appeal. Stumps can also be a safety hazard. If grass grows above the stump and someone else mows your yard, they may be in for a rude awakening when they accidentally hit it.
