WHY YOUR CEDAR RAPIDS NEIGHBORS LOVE US

RICHARD SMITH

Exceeded all my expectations in taking down a dying giant locust in our yard. Daniel led a crew of four armed with great machinery. The hoist to get him to the top of the tree was something out of science fiction. Nice, quick, and off to the next job.

A two-man crew removed my dead Ash tree, took care of the remaining stump, roots, and did a great job cleaning up.

Here when you need us

While our goal is to preserve trees whenever possible, there are situations where removal is the safest and most responsible option. Some signs that a tree may need to be removed include:


- Extensive storm damage

- Advanced decay or disease

- Structural instability

- Interference with power lines or structures

- Overcrowding that threatens the health of nearby trees


If you're unsure whether a tree should be cut down, our certified arborists can provide a professional assessment and recommendation. In some cases, pruning or tree health care treatments may be viable alternatives to removal.

Benefits of TREE REMOVAL SERVICES

It is important to weigh the benefits and drawbacks carefully before deciding whether or not to remove a tree. There are also some potential drawbacks to tree removal, such as the loss of shade and the potential for erosion. If our arborists determine a removal is necessary, here are some benefits for this service.

Removing dead, diseased or hazardous trees can help prevent accidents and injuries. These trees are more likely to fall or drop branches during storms or high winds, which can cause property damage or injury.

Increased safety

Improved property value

Trees can add value to a property, but they can also detract from its value if they are unhealthy or unsightly. Removing a dead or diseased tree can improve the overall appearance of a property and make it more attractive to buyers.

Image

Reduced risk of damage

Trees can damage property during storms or high winds. Removing them can help to reduce the risk of this happening. For example, if a tree falls on your house, it could cause significant damage.

Trees can block sunlight, which can make a property feel dark and gloomy. Removing them can allow more sunlight to reach the property, making it feel brighter and more inviting.

Overcrowding, branches tangled in powerlines, broken limbs, storm damage, leaning, encroaching roots - removing an unhealthy or compromised tree can often help improve the health of other nearby trees.
