  1. 01The look

    Call or text, ideally with a photo. Carlos comes to the property, reads the tree and gives you a free estimate before any work is agreed.

  2. 02The cut

    The crew arrives with climbing gear, rigging, the bucket truck and a ground crew to load the dump trailer. Trees are worked from the top down, in order.

  3. 03The clean-up

    Limbs, brush and wood are loaded and hauled and the ground is raked. A customer described it as cleaned up down to the last twig.

First the tree, then the cut

Tree removal

Carlos looks at what the tree leans toward, what sits under it and where a climber can tie in. Then the tree comes down in sections, lowered on rigging from the climber's line or lifted out from the bucket truck, never just dropped.

One Google reviewer had a pine over 100 feet taken all the way to the ground. Wood and brush are hauled off, and a stump can be ground out in the same visit.

Cuts for this season and the next

Tree trimming & pruning

Pruning here means thinning, raising and balancing a crown so it still looks like itself. Each cut goes where the tree can close over it, with the growth of the next few years in mind.

A customer with old trees wrote that they came out looking completely natural, not hacked up or lopsided. That is the standard the crew works to on every tree.

Stump grinding

A track grinder takes the stump down below the surface, so the lawn mower and the next planting have clear ground. Quote it with the removal or on its own.

The chips are raked back into the hole and the yard is left ready to seed or plant.
