"The people at Kanesville Valley were amazingly responsive, courteous and professional. The crew that came to remove a massive fallen tree from my property were amazingly skilled at their trade and maintained a safe environment. My back yard is awkward to even maneuver private vehicles into and these guys were able to skillfully bring their giant crane truck in and maneuver around making quick work of what would have been a week long undertaking without the use of their specialized equipment. They handled the debris removal expertly, being cautious to prevent any further damage, carefully lifting tree parts off of a shed, yard equipment and even a vehicle, leaving them unscathed. Their skill and expertise, coupled with their specialized equipment that makes the job faster and safer would have been well worth it at twice the price! They will be the first company I call and the first company I recommend for any type of tree work needed."

"The job done was very professional. The amount of trimming 20 plus feet in the air was done to perfection. We had two huge maple trees trimmed, the lower tree had a 10" branch remove that was located over the frozen canal plus allot of other branches and limbs removed.. The front yard tree was trimmed and thinned out where we wanted it to be. All the limbs and debris were removed to make it as if nothing was cut and all logs and tree branches cut up for firewood were stacked where we wanted them. I would highly recommend this company for any tree cutting services. We were very pleased with the service and will definitely hire them again in the future if needed. We will recommend them to anyone who asks where we got out tree trimmed from."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, healthy and well-placed large trees can boost property value by an average of 3% to 15%. They improve curb appeal, offer energy savings through shade and wind protection, and are often considered by appraisers during home valuation. On the flip side, removing dead or hazardous trees can also increase value by eliminating safety risks. For the biggest return, choose low-maintenance, native species that thrive in your climate.

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). 

Any tree that needs to be pruned should be pruned to remove dead branches at least once a year. You may need to prune far more often if you’re trying to maintain a certain shape or to save a tree that suddenly becomes infected.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
