"From the prompt call back, the initial meet which was right on schedule, the clear communication and expertise shared, to the quick turn around and getting the job done right, my wife and I couldn't be more pleased with the service provided by Dustin and his amazing crew. Friendly, fair and professional. Our new home has a much more beautiful yard now!They cut 2 dead trees, pulled several bushes and prettied up the rest! I'll be calling back when the trees bloom so we can make sure we got rid of all the dead stuff! Thanks again Dustin!"

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

You can remove a small tree from your yard if there’s space for the tree to fall, you have the right tools and safety equipment, and you follow a clear plan of action. You’ll just want to follow the steps above carefully, and ideally, you will have experience doing similar tasks. If you have any doubts that you can do this project safely, though, you should hire a pro.

While the fastest way to kill a tree is to simply cut it down, there are several other methods to choose from. You should hire a professional tree removal service to cut down a tree to ensure your personal and property safety. Some slower but effective options include treating or grinding the tree stump or using a basal bark treatment. 

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.

In some states and municipalities, you will need a permit to remove a tree on your property. In many cases where permits are required, a tree must reach a maximum height before a permit is required to remove it. You can either ask your local building department or a tree removal professional if you’ll need a permit. If you do, you can expect to pay between $50 and $150 for the permit alone. Your tree removal company should pull the permit for you and include the permit fee in your total.

Professionals ensure safety, prevent property damage, and handle debris efficiently.
