Removing a tree is not a DIY job. It requires a tree service company with the experience, equipment, skills, and safety record to do it properly.

They took down 21 trees at my place in one day with amazing efficiency and at a great price. The whole process was straightforward. They were able to complete the job within 2 weeks from getting a quote. On the day of work, 2 crews showed up, quickly got equipment setup despite rush hour traffic on our busy street and some rain, and got down to work. They were great about respecting the property, even saving our fall mums, and cleaned up everything afterward. I will definitely call American Climbers first for future tree trimming needs and highly recommend them.

While it may seem simple, tree removal is anything but simple! It's not just a matter of "cutting down a tree" - it needs to be done safely and with precision so the tree and branches come down where they should (rather than on your house!).

Quick, Safe & Affordable

Tree removal, particularly in tight spaces or near structures (such as your home) or cutting down trees near power lines, is definitely not a DIY job. It requires specialized equipment, including safety equipment, and extensive skills and training to do it efficiently, properly, and safely.

American Climbers has state-of-the-art equipment designed specifically for tree removal, including one of the first grapple saws in the USA. Cranes, bucket trucks, and huge chippers let us handle even the largest trees with ease while keeping our crews and customers safe.

Get a Tree Removal Estimate

Call or contact us today to schedule a tree inspection. We have flexible hours so our estimator can meet you when it fits your schedule.

We'll be able to tell you if you tree can be saved instead of needing to be cut down (sometimes, all it takes is some well-placed pruning). But if it should be removed for safety or other reasons, we'll give you an estimate on the spot - in writing.

We got a good estimate 10 days ago which we accepted immediately. Bobby and crew came today. We had particularly difficult trees to remove considering the gardens and smaller trees beneath. The work was quick, efficient,and damage-free. They cleaned up better than before they came. I'd give them a sixth star if I could.

TREE Removal FAQs & Tips

In most cases, you do not need a permit to cut down a tree on your property. However, it is important that you make sure the tree actually belongs to you before you have it cut. The state’s illegal tree cutting law dictates that damaging or cutting down another person’s tree can make you liable for an amount that is three times the value of the tree!

Many things go into tree removal and there are a lot of moving parts. We need to see the tree to determine, amongst other things, the tree’s:

  • Size
  • Species
  • Health
  • Location
  • Proximity to power lines and utilities, buildings, roads, etc.
  • Surrounding landscape

Once we can see the tree for ourselves, we can determine what kind of equipment is needed, which crew can most efficiently do the job, and more.

In most cases, yes, we can remove multiple trees as part of the same job. It depends on how many trees need to be cut down, where they are on your property, the weather that day, the crew availability, and other factors. Removing several trees at once can be preferable as it takes time to set up the equipment, schedule the crews, etc.

Yes! See this article for more details on removing trees in tight spaces.

 

 

Yes! As long as the tree is on your property and you have permission to remove it, we can safely and carefully remove trees near power lines.

If an ash tree was infected by Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), the tree has become dry, brittle, and unsafe for a climber to ascend. Almost all dead ash trees in our area have succumbed to EAB, so we have a specific and detailed process to remove ash trees to ensure that everyone and everything around the tree remains safe.

A grapple saw is a state-of-the-art saw, often attached to a crane or boom arm, that allows us to remove trees even more quickly, efficiently, and safely. It is remotely controlled and cuts, grabs, and removes sections of a tree during a removal.

See the grapple saw in use here >> 

We always do our best to protect your landscape during any type of tree work. For example, we place special mats on the ground to distribute the weight of our heavy equipment.

Our estimator will discuss potential issues with you during the initial site visit so you understand what might happen.

Stump grinding is a separate service that can be added to your tree removal quote. Be sure to let our estimator know you'd like the stump ground away when they're discussing options with you.

We do not offer stump removal (which usually involves digging or pulling out the stump, including the roots).

We have a blog post that answers this exact question!

No, we often do work when people are not home. We will often mark the trees beforehand so it is clear what work should be done. You’ll come home to one fewer tree – and a clean area!

In most cases, your homeowner's insurance will cover tree removal if your tree has fallen on a covered structure on your property. Removing a tree for other reasons will generally not be covered by insurance. We recommend that you contact your insurance company directly if you have questions about coverage.

Signs that It's Time to Remove Your Tree

Dead or Dying

A dead or dying tree causes a hazardous situation as it continues to deteriorate, whether that's due to pests like gypsy moth, diseases, or just a slow decline from old age.

A Safety Hazard

Trees should be taken out if they pose a significant safety hazard to property and people, and the problem cannot be resolved through other means. This is often the case with storm damage.

Obstructing Access

Sometimes, trees grow so large (or in unexpected directions) that they block access to a road, sideway, drive, walkway, patio or deck, and pruning alone cannot clear the way

Over Crowding

Trees that are growing too close together can crowd and harm other nearby trees, while those growing near your home or other structures can damage roofs, siding, utility lines, vents, AC units, etc.

Construction

Nearby construction can severely damage or kill a tree if it's not properly protected, and sometimes a tree must be removed to make way for new landscaping, paved areas, structures, solar panels, etc.

Too Much [...]

Trees can easily become "too much" - they get too big for the space, create too much shade, drop too many leaves in your swimming pool, have too many roots, block too much of the view ...
