Not Sure Where to Start?

The Three Calls We Get Most

Nine out of ten jobs start as one of these three conversations.

“I think this tree is going to fall.”

Start with a hazard assessment. We look at the defect, the likelihood of failure and what is underneath it, then tell you whether it needs removing, reducing, cabling or watching.

Hazard tree removal →

“A tree just came down on my house.”

Call, do not type. Storm work involving structures, blocked access or lines jumps the schedule, and we photograph everything before cutting so your claim is documented.

Emergency & storm response →

“We used to be able to see the river.”

That is view work, and it is not topping. Windowing, skirting and crown reduction reopen a corridor without wrecking the trees or creating a hazard you pay for later.
