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.

Our experience with Arbor Masters was great, start to finish. From the estimate, to the scheduling, to the tree removal, to the clean up, we couldn't be happier with the service. Would recommend without reservation.
Our skilled crew can safely remove trees of any size or species.
For trees that pose a risk to people or structures, we have the expertise to remove them.
In the event of storm damage or unexpected tree failure, our team is ready to respond.
For large trees or those in difficult-to-access locations, we ensure safe removal.
Our arborists handle the hassle and mess so you don’t have to look at a dead stump after the tree is gone.
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.
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.
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.
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.
