Tree Cutting Service Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, we come out and assess what you’re dealing with. Our arborist looks at the tree’s health, the surrounding area, and any potential hazards. You get a clear explanation of what needs to happen and why.

Next, we schedule the work at a time that works for you. We arrive with the right equipment and safety gear. Our crew sets up protection for your property – tarps for landscaping, plywood for driveways, whatever’s needed to keep your space intact.

The actual tree work happens efficiently and safely. We make precise cuts, control the fall direction, and remove everything in manageable sections. Every piece gets cleaned up and hauled away. When we’re done, your property is clean and the problem is solved.

Tree removal costs depend on the size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost a few hundred dollars, while a large tree near your house or power lines can cost several thousand. We provide free estimates that break down exactly what’s included – the removal, stump grinding, and complete cleanup. The price we quote is the price you pay, with no surprises or hidden fees. Most homeowners find our pricing fair and competitive compared to other licensed tree companies in the St. James area.
Yes, we respond to storm damage emergencies throughout St. James and the surrounding areas. When trees fall across driveways, damage roofs, or create safety hazards, we prioritize those calls. We have the equipment to safely remove fallen trees and clear debris quickly. Our emergency response includes working with your insurance company if the damage is covered. We document everything properly and provide the paperwork you need for claims. During major storms, we work extended hours to help as many property owners as possible get back to normal.
Absolutely. We carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. Our license is current and we can provide proof of both insurance and licensing before starting any work. This protects you from liability if someone gets hurt on your property, and it protects your property from damage during the work. Unfortunately, not all tree companies operating in St. James are properly licensed and insured. Always ask to see current certificates before hiring any contractor. We’re happy to provide this documentation upfront because we know how important it is for your peace of mind.
Complete cleanup is included in every job we do. We don’t just cut down the tree and leave you with a mess. All branches, logs, and debris get loaded and hauled away. We rake up the smaller pieces and leave your property cleaner than we found it. This includes the wood chips from stump grinding – we remove those too unless you specifically want to keep them for landscaping. Many homeowners are surprised by how much debris a single tree creates. Our trucks and equipment are sized to handle complete removal so you don’t have to worry about disposal.
We handle both tree removal and stump grinding as part of our complete service. The stump grinder reduces the entire stump and major roots to wood chips several inches below ground level. This lets you plant grass, flowers, or even a new tree in the same spot. Some companies only cut trees and leave stumps, which creates an ongoing problem for property owners. We include stump removal in our estimates so you get a complete solution. The only time we don’t grind stumps is when customers specifically ask us not to, which is rare.
Several signs indicate a tree should come down: dead or dying branches throughout the canopy, fungus growing on the trunk, significant lean toward structures, or root damage from construction. Storm-damaged trees with split trunks or major broken branches often need removal for safety. Our certified arborist can assess your trees and explain what we’re seeing. Sometimes a tree that looks problematic just needs proper pruning, while other trees that look healthy might have structural issues that make them dangerous. We’ll give you an honest assessment and explain your options, including alternatives to removal when they make sense.
