Complete Tree Services Shirley

Everything Your Trees Need

Our tree services cover everything from emergency removal to regular maintenance. We handle tree trimming to keep branches away from your house and power lines. We remove dead, diseased, or dangerous trees before they become problems.

Stump grinding eliminates those ugly stumps that collect water and attract pests. Our arborists can assess tree health and recommend treatments that might save a tree instead of removing it.

During storm season, we provide emergency response when trees come down. We know that tree emergencies don’t wait for business hours, especially when a tree is blocking your driveway or threatening your home.

How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?

Look for obvious signs like dead branches, cracks in the trunk, or the tree leaning significantly. Trees with root damage from construction or those that have lost more than half their canopy usually need removal. However, some problems aren’t visible to untrained eyes. Disease, internal decay, and structural weaknesses require professional assessment. Our arborists can evaluate your trees and give you honest recommendations about which ones pose real risks versus which ones can be saved with proper care.

What happens if a tree falls during a storm?

If a tree falls on your property, safety comes first. Stay away from downed power lines and don’t attempt to move large branches yourself. Call us for emergency tree removal – we respond quickly during storms and can safely remove trees from roofs, driveways, and other critical areas. Document the damage with photos for insurance purposes. Most homeowner’s insurance covers tree removal when the tree damages structures, but coverage varies. We can work with your insurance company and provide the documentation they need.

How much does tree removal cost in Shirley?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area costs much less than a large oak tree hanging over your house. We provide free estimates that break down all costs upfront – no surprises or hidden fees. Emergency removal during storms may cost more due to the urgent nature and safety risks involved. The investment is usually worth it when you consider the potential damage a dangerous tree could cause to your property.

Do you clean up all the debris after tree removal?

Yes, complete cleanup is included in our tree removal service. We cut up all branches and trunk sections, remove debris from your property, and rake up smaller pieces. Stump grinding is available as an additional service if you want the stump completely gone. We understand that you hired us to solve a problem, not create a bigger mess in your yard. Our job isn’t finished until your property is clean and you’re satisfied with the results.

Can you save a tree that looks like it's dying?

Sometimes, yes. Trees can recover from disease, pest damage, or stress if caught early enough. Our arborists can identify what’s causing the problem and recommend treatments like pruning, fertilization, or disease management. However, some trees are beyond saving, especially those with significant structural damage or advanced decay. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether treatment is worth the investment or if removal is the safer, more cost-effective option for your situation.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Absolutely. We carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage, which protects you from any accidents or damage during tree work. Our team includes licensed arborists with the training and certifications required for safe, professional tree care. Tree work is inherently dangerous, and proper insurance isn’t optional – it’s essential. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any job, and we recommend never hiring any tree service that can’t do the same.
