Tree Removal
Specializing in low-impact tree removals using two 60+ foot bucket trucks, climbing techniques, or crane assistance when needed. Our experienced team safely handles trees of all sizes, from large silver maples to smaller dead birches, employing innovative solutions developed over 30+ years of challenging removals while protecting surrounding property.
Tree Trimming
Offering comprehensive tree trimming services including raising, reducing, cleaning, and vista pruning. Our licensed arborists assess each tree's specific needs based on species and growth patterns, working with homeowners to achieve desired outcomes while promoting tree health, structural integrity, and aesthetic appeal through proper pruning techniques.
Stump Grinding
Providing efficient stump grinding services using specialized equipment that reduces stumps and underground roots to wood chips. We handle both post-removal stumps and existing unsightly stumps, offering options to remove debris or leave chips for property use. Our high-speed grinders quickly eliminate hazards and reclaim usable yard space.
Tree Cabling
Installing steel cabling and bracing systems to reinforce structurally weak trees. We use proven techniques to reduce strain on major limbs and crotches, preventing storm damage through strategic support systems that include metal rods and multi-point cable installations, particularly for trees with weak branching patterns.
Storm Damage

Our team removes trees from structures, vehicles, and pools using specialized equipment and techniques developed through decades of emergency response, including notable events like Hurricane Gloria and Tropical Storm Irene.
