Tree Trimming & Tree Removal

Aerial Basket Tree Trimming & Removal for Government Services

Our Certified Arborists utilize aerial basket equipment to safely and efficiently trim or remove trees, even in the most challenging locations.

Safe & Efficient Access – Aerial baskets allow our team to reach even the tallest trees in public spaces, ensuring minimal disruption to the area while prioritizing safety.
Advanced Equipment – With bucket trucks and specialized lifts, we can access trees in parks, along streets, or in other hard-to-reach public spaces, regardless of size or location.
Property Protection – Our aerial removals reduce the risk of damage to surrounding structures, paths, and landscaping, keeping public areas intact and safe for residents and visitors.

Let us help you maintain your public trees with professional care that keeps your spaces safe and compliant.

Crane-Assisted Tree Removal for Government Services

In managing public spaces and infrastructure, sometimes tree removals require specialized equipment. Our Certified Arborists use cranes to safely and efficiently remove trees in areas where access is difficult or when the tree is too unstable for traditional removal methods.

Minimizing Impact – Crane-assisted removals are perfect for sensitive areas, such as parks, streets, or near public structures, where heavy machinery could cause damage to landscaping or infrastructure.
Safe & Efficient – Trees are carefully dismantled and lowered piece by piece to a designated area, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding environment.
Precision Equipment – We select the appropriate crane based on the tree size and location, from 38-ton cranes for smaller jobs to 175-ton cranes for large-scale removals, ensuring a safe and controlled process.

Trust our team to handle your public tree removals with care, minimizing impact on the environment and maintaining the safety of public spaces.

Tree Climbing Specialists for Government Services

When aerial baskets or cranes can’t reach, our Certified Arborists are equipped to access trees in any location, ensuring safe and efficient service for government properties like parks, streets, and public spaces.

Expert Access – Our skilled climbers use advanced rope techniques to safely reach any height, making it easier to handle trees in areas where heavy machinery can’t access.
Tree Health First – To protect public trees, climbing spikes are only used for removals. This avoids causing wounds that could lead to disease and decay.
Safe & Efficient – We follow industry best practices, ensuring that tree care is done with precision while safeguarding both the tree’s health and the surrounding public space.

Our climbing specialists ensure that tree care is done with minimal disruption, so your community’s trees stay healthy and safe.

Tree Cabling & Support Systems for Government Properties

Public trees in parks, streets, and habitats are especially vulnerable to environmental stressors, including high winds, heavy snow, and dense foliage. Our Certified Arborists offer tree cabling services to reinforce these trees and reduce the risk of failure, ensuring safety for residents and visitors.

Types of Tree Cabling Systems:

Static (Steel) Cabling – Provides maximum support for trees that are highly at risk of failure, such as those with weak branch unions, existing splits, or decay. This option is ideal for trees in high-traffic public spaces that require extra reinforcement.
Dynamic (Polyester Rope) Cabling – A more flexible, non-invasive system that allows natural movement while still offering support. This solution reduces the likelihood of branch failure while preserving the tree's health and aesthetics.

Not sure which cabling system is right for your tree? Our experts will evaluate your tree's structure and recommend the best solution to maintain the safety and longevity of your public green spaces.

Recommend tailored treatment options, such as Emerald Ash Borer treatment, to protect public trees and ensure community safety.
