Common questions
Straight answers, no sales pitch.
How do I know if a tree has gone past the point of trimming?
Cracked bark running down the trunk, a hollow sound when you knock on it, roots lifting out of the ground, or a lean that showed up after a storm are all signs the whole tree needs to come out, not just a branch. A pro can look at the trunk and canopy and tell you fast whether trimming still makes sense or if removal is the only safe option.
Will a crew still take down a tree that's tangled in power lines?
Yes, but it takes care and sometimes coordination with the utility company first, especially if a branch is resting on a line carrying power. This isn't a job to try yourself with a ladder and a saw. Let the crew handle the utility side of things before any cutting starts.
Does the crew take the wood and branches with them when they leave?
Most jobs include hauling off the brush and trunk pieces so you're not left staring at a pile in the yard. Some folks want to keep the wood for firewood, and that's easy to arrange ahead of time. Otherwise, plan on the yard being cleared out before the crew packs up.
Do you handle removals out on the island or over in Flour Bluff?
Yes, those calls come in regularly. Salt air and sandy soil out there change how some trees anchor themselves, so a good crew checks the lean and root base carefully before giving you a number, not just eyeballing it from the truck.
