City Tree Service can help identify ways to maintain the health of living trees and provide a safe and practical process for removal when a tree has become a danger to its surrounding environment. Tree Removal There are times a tree that is near or encroaching a building or power lines etc., cannot be fallen and must be climbed and carefully removed. City Tree Service is equipped with an experienced crew of climbers and grounds men. Equipped with bucket trucks, grinders, and chippers, we handle any job whether small or large. In addition, we are pre-approved by most insurance companies. Tree removals are performed to eliminate dead and dying trees as well as those that have become hazardous. Removals can also be useful in eliminating competition for light and space so that the remaining plants are better able to grow and thrive. In some cases, trees may also be removed to allow for new construction, home additions and to provide clearances with those structures. We provide thorough cleanup of debris and strive to minimize the impact to surrounding vegetation. Tree removal is the most hazardous aspect of arboriculture. Often, tree workers must remove trees growing in confined spaces near houses, utility lines and other sensitive areas. Tree removal requires considerable expertise to successfully perform this task. Stump Grinding and Removal As part of the tree removal process, the stump will typically be left as close to the ground as possible. If needed, removal of the stump can be provided. Stump removal can be challenging, and often special machinery is required, but it may be necessary if the stump is a hazard in the landscape or simply an eyesore. Stump grinding by a professional is the easiest and safest way to handle this work. We utilize our training and special rigging gear to climb carefully and section down these individual trees. Every Tree is a different approach, and we take care to ensure the safety of surrounding trees and objects where necessary. Tree Trimming There are many reasons to provide trimming to a living tree. Removing dead limbs will help maintain the general health, reduce stress to the trunk and prevents them from coming down unexpectedly. We also offer wind-sail reduction techniques to prepare for heavy windstorms. Often it can be aesthetically pleasing to remove the first few limbs on a tree. This creates a cleaner look and provides more vertical space so that surrounding life forms can be appreciated. Storm Clean Up When disaster strikes, we have the manpower to strike back. We get you up and running again and restore your property to its original state. We can handle fallen trees of all sizes, downed limbs, and the removal of widow makers. With a high standard of quality, we provide an extensive clean up that will have your yard looking at its very best.
