Tree Elevation consists of the removal, or trimming, of the lower limbs and branching to give the tree a taller appearance. During the bidding process, we typically use the term "elevate, " followed by a height in feet to determine the elevation of the tree. If the term "foliar" is used next to "elevate, " it means that a branch starts on the trunk below the designated height, but sweeps up above that height and so it will not be removed, secondary branches hanging below the designated height will be removed.

To live up to our environmental commitment, Happy Trees Chipping Service provides free delivery of recycled Tree Service Wood Chips to Essex County residents and businesses. Tree Service Wood Chips (TSWC) are branches, logs and debris from tree trimming and removal operations processed through a towable wood/brush chipper. They contain chipped leaves, twigs and wood material. Wood chips are generally delivered in piles that contain 15-25% of foliage (leaves, flowers, etc.) material. Once wood chips are spread and exposed to sunlight and the elements, leaves and twigs tend to break down to yield a finished product that will beautify any landscape.

After a tree removal, the stump is often left in the ground. Specialized equipment must be used to "grind out" the remaining portions of the root flare and stump. Typically, we recommend grinding down the stump to about 8″ for the establishment of turf grass over the site, deeper levels of grinding can be arranged if required. Using state of the art stump grinding equipment allows us to complete the task correctly the first time. Our machines fit through standard 36 inch backyard gates, making it easy for us to reach stumps in backyards.

Tree Shaping can include tree trimming, tree pruning and tree shaping. This investment in your trees can lead to substantial returns. Well cared for trees are attractive and add considerable value to your property. Appropriate pruning techniques are essential for development of strong tree structure and desirable form. Poorly maintained trees and/or the improper pruning of them can cause long lasting damage.

There are many different reasons for tree trimming. Those include safety, aesthetics, clearance, fruit and flower production. At Happy Trees, we examine each tree individually and provide our clients with expert recommendations that will meet their tree trimming requirements. We also ensure that our solution will not impact the long term health of each tree. Branch and twig death (dead wood) can result from a variety of reasons. Those include various pests and diseases, the health decay of the tree's root system, air and soil pollution, moisture content in the soil, and wind damage can all result in the accumulation of dead wood in a tree's canopy.

Tree Thinning is important because it reduces wind resistance of the tree or of its larger branches by selectively thinning the canopy from the top down. If you have doubts about whether or not your trees should be thinned, have Happy Trees take a look. If your home or valuables are surrounded by large trees, Thinning Out may be something to consider. We offer wind sail reduction - a method of pruning in which the goal is to reduce wind resistance in a tree's canopy. The idea is that by selectively reducing the number of branches within the canopy, wind will be able to pass through the tree and will not be blown over by the strong gusts that occasionally come to the northwest.

There are many reasons, some unforeseen, that will require a tree to be removed. Weather storm damage, disease, just a dead tree, structural integrity, or property development, Happy Trees is equipped to handle the task. Tree removal can be dangerous if performed by amateurs, especially when trees are close to your home or buildings. We have skilled climbers to get the job done efficiently and safely. Through the use of roping techniques, zip lines, winching techniques, cranes, a bucket truck, or a combination of all of the above, we will remove trees deemed hazardous without damaging your surrounding valuables.
