Tree Removal
When should a tree be removed?
+Trees should be removed when they pose safety hazards, are diseased beyond treatment, dead, structurally compromised, interfering with power lines or structures, or causing property damage. Our arborists can assess your specific situation.
How much does tree removal cost?
+Tree removal costs vary based on factors like tree size, location, complexity, and site accessibility. Most residential tree removals range from $300 to $3,000. We provide detailed written estimates for all projects.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree?
+Permit requirements vary by city and tree size/species. Many Utah municipalities require permits for trees over certain diameters or protected species. We can help you navigate local regulations and obtain necessary permits.
Will you clean up after tree removal?
+Yes! Complete cleanup is included in our tree removal service. We remove all branches, logs, and debris, leaving your property clean and tidy. Stump grinding can be added for complete removal.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
When is the best time to trim trees?
+In Utah, the best time for most tree trimming is late fall through early spring when trees are dormant. However, dead, diseased, or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season.
How often should trees be trimmed?
+Most mature trees benefit from professional trimming every 3-5 years, while younger trees may need more frequent attention. Fruit trees often require annual pruning for optimal health and production.
What's the difference between trimming and pruning?
+Trimming typically refers to cutting back overgrown branches for appearance and safety, while pruning is more precise removal of specific branches to improve tree health, structure, and growth patterns.
Can trimming damage my tree?
+When done correctly by certified professionals, trimming improves tree health. However, improper cutting, over-trimming, or topping can severely damage or kill trees. That's why professional service is essential.
Emergency Services
Do you provide 24/7 emergency tree services?
+Yes! We offer 24/7 emergency tree services for storm damage, fallen trees blocking roads or threatening structures, and other urgent tree-related hazards throughout our service area.
What constitutes a tree emergency?
+Tree emergencies include fallen trees blocking access, trees or branches threatening structures, hanging branches after storms, trees on power lines, or any tree-related situation posing immediate safety risks.
How quickly can you respond to emergencies?
+We prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within 2-4 hours during business hours and as quickly as possible for after-hours emergencies, depending on weather conditions and safety factors.
Costs & Payment
How do you determine pricing?
+Pricing is based on tree size, species, location, complexity of removal/trimming, site accessibility, disposal requirements, and time needed. We provide transparent, detailed written estimates before any work begins.
What payment methods do you accept?
+We accept cash, checks, and major credit cards. Payment is typically due upon completion of work, though we may require deposits for larger projects.
Do you offer financing options?
+For larger projects, we may offer financing options. Contact us to discuss payment plans that work for your budget and project needs.
