ISA Certified Arborist
Certified knowledge supporting safer decisions, responsible recommendations, and long-term tree care across every service we provide.
Hazard & Storm Response
When a tree is already a danger — leaning, split, down, or threatening a structure — these are the calls that can't wait.

Dangerous Removals
Precarious, high-risk removals near homes, power lines, and property lines require judgment as much as equipment. Our climbers use a gaffless rope-climbing technique that protects the tree's cambium layer while working, and for larger or higher-risk jobs we bring in cranes and aerial lifts to keep potential damage to an absolute minimum. Every removal is backed by more than $2 million in liability insurance.
- Gaffless rope-climbing
- Crane & aerial-lift capable
- $2M+ liability insured

Storm Damage Cleanup
Wind, ice, and lightning bring down hundreds of thousands of trees across the country every year. When a storm has uprooted a tree or left branches threatening your home or business, we respond fast — clearing debris, removing hazards, and making the property safe again.
- Fast response
- Full debris cleanup
- Hazard removal

Deadwood Removal
Dead wood doesn't bend in the wind the way living wood does — it's dry, brittle, and unpredictable, and it can break or fall with no warning. The longer a dead tree or dead limb stands, the higher the risk to your property and the people under it. We remove deadwood before it becomes a liability, not after.
- Dead & dying limb removal
- Full dead-tree removal
Tree Health & Prevention
The best time to deal with a hazardous tree is before it's hazardous. These services catch problems early and keep healthy trees healthy.

Storm Prevention
Predicting storm damage starts with knowing the condition of the trees on your property. Our arborists check for cracks, decay, and weak limbs, and correct minor damage before it becomes major. Done properly, corrective pruning lets wounds close over naturally instead of inviting the decay that improper pruning can cause.
- Pre-storm assessment
- Corrective pruning

Microinjection
The Tree Tech® microinjection system delivers fungicides, insecticides, bactericides, and nutrients directly into the tree, minimizing loss to the surrounding environment while maximizing effectiveness — a more precise, more environmentally sensitive alternative to broad chemical spraying, especially in urban settings.
- Tree Tech® system
- Fungicides & nutrients
- Low environmental impact

Fine Pruning
Crown cleaning, weight reduction, vista pruning, and building clearance — done to the American National Standard for tree pruning (ANSI A300) by certified arborists and technicians who know the difference between pruning that helps a tree and pruning that hurts it.
- ANSI A300 standard
- Certified arborists
Property & Land
Services built around protecting structures, reclaiming yard space, and handling bigger site and land projects.

Crown Raise & Roof Clearance
Removing the lowest branches, side branches, or parts of branches raises a tree's crown — letting in more light and wind underneath, and giving you room to walk beneath it. Where trees are coming into contact with a roof, we prune for roof clearance of roughly 7-8 feet up and 3-4 feet out, preventing the expensive damage that contact can cause.
- 7-8 ft roof clearance
- More light & airflow

Stump Grinding
Once a tree is cut, its roots stop growing within weeks and soon die off — stump grinding is the cleanest way to finish the job. Our articulating grinder gets into tight spots other equipment can't, like close to house foundations, and grinds the stump and root system away completely: no hole to fill, no roots to haul off, and the leftover grindings become nutrient-rich mulch.
- No hole left behind
- Reaches near foundations
- Grindings become mulch

Skid-Steer Loader Services
