frequently asked questions
Can you remove a large oak/pine/cottonwood that’s close to my house, fence, or power lines?
Yes. We use proper rigging, bucket/crane work when needed, and utility-safe practices to lower limbs in controlled pieces. We protect roofs, fences, driveways, and landscaping and coordinate utility locates when appropriate.
Do you handle permits, HOA rules, and proof of insurance?
Absolutely. We provide COI upon request, meet HOA requirements, and advise when permits or city notifications are required for removals.
How much does tree removal cost and can I get a firm estimate?
Price depends on tree size/species, condition (dead/hazard), access, proximity to structures/lines, and haul-off needs. We provide free written estimates with line items (e.g., remove one tree; optional stump grinding; debris haul-off).
Can I keep the wood/logs or have them hauled away?
Your choice. We can buck wood to fireplace length, leave logs in a designated area, chip and remove all debris, or arrange special handling (e.g., save camphor or oak logs for turning).
Do you offer emergency removals or multi-property/group pricing?
Yes. Storm and hazard calls are prioritized. If neighbors coordinate work the same day, we can often reduce equipment mobilization costs.
