Our tree pruning follows industry standards to enhance tree health and structure. We selectively remove branches to improve light penetration, reduce storm damage risk, and maintain aesthetic balance. Clearance pruning ensures safe distances from buildings and power lines while preserving tree vitality.

Stump grinding services reduce stumps to woodchips up to 22 inches below grade. We recommend removal during full leaf season to minimize suckering, ensuring clean property transitions for new landscaping projects.

Report
Their service is not what is posted on their website. They do not offer insect control. The tree trimming they did for us was not satisfactory and very expensive.
