Tree Removal

When a tree on your property becomes hazardous, diseased, or simply outgrows its surroundings, prompt and professional removal can protect your landscape’s health and maintain the safety of your home or business. Our expert team provides efficient, reliable tree removal services tailored to meet your specific needs.

Why Tree Removal is Important

Trees may need to be removed for a variety of reasons. One key concern is safety, as weak or damaged trees can endanger people, property, and vehicles if branches or entire trunks fall unexpectedly and at J.M. Tree Service we have multiple I.S.A. Certified Arborists on staff who can assess the health and stability of your trees, identifying risks before they become emergencies.

Additionally, diseased or dying trees can quickly spread pests and infections to otherwise healthy plants, putting your entire landscape at risk. We can provide professional recommendations for compromised trees, and the safest approach tailored to your removal.

Overgrown and poorly located trees may also diminish your property’s curb appeal by blocking views or creating cluttered, crowded spaces. Another important consideration is the potential for root damage; extensive root systems can compromise foundations, driveways, and underground utilities, often leading to costly repairs. By opting to remove trees in these situations, you protect your property’s safety, health, and overall appearance.

Frequently asked questions

Removing a tree is a major decision that can raise questions about safety, regulations, costs, and more. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common inquiries to help you feel confident and informed as you navigate the tree removal process.

A tree may need to be removed if it’s showing signs of disease, decay, or structural weakness, such as large cracks or dead branches. Leaning significantly to one side or exhibiting heavy pest infestation are also indicators that removal might be necessary. An inspection by a professional arborist is the best way to determine whether removal is the right choice.

The duration depends on factors such as the size and location of the tree, the complexity of the job, and accessibility. A small tree can sometimes be removed in under an hour, and even the largest trees or those near structures are usually completed the same day we start. Stump grinding time varies as well, but most stumps can be handled in less than an hour or two.

Stump removal is a separate service but is often recommended. Leaving a stump behind can become a tripping hazard, attract pests, and potentially lead to new growth around it. We offer stump grinding or removal to ensure your property is entirely clear.

We include cleanup and disposal in our estimate. This means we'll haul away branches, logs, and any other debris, leaving your property tidy and free of clutter.
