Tree Removal

At Yellow Tree, we understand that some trees are beyond recovery, making removal necessary. We safely remove trees using state-of-the-art equipment and industry best practices. We are a locally owned and operated tree service company with the backing of a nationally recommended company, which allows our team to provide comprehensive services at a price that’s cost-effective for you.

Our Local Tree-Removal Services

Tree-removal services encompass different tree and stump removal methods, including crane-assisted tree removal and stump grinding.

Standard Tree Removal

We remove smaller trees with a standard team of arborists working quickly and safely. Whether it’s removing a dead tree, taking down a damaged or diseased tree, or hauling away a fallen trunk or branches, we’ll get the job done. Our teams of certified arborists have undergone rigorous training and have at least three years of experience each before applying for certification. We put that knowledge and expertise to work for you.

Crane-Assisted Tree Removal

Using a crane is a safe and effective way to remove large or unwieldy trees. Not only does it reduce the time spent removing the tree, it also leaves minimal impact on the surroundings. With the crane, we won’t need to fell the tree before cutting sections away. Instead, our team performs a controlled cut, removing sections with care and hauling them away.

How to Tell If Your Tree Needs to Be Removed

We consider many factors to determine if your tree is a fall risk. We take note of the whole tree, the ground, the trunk, and the crown. This way, we can decide if your tree is potentially dangerous and a risk to you or your neighbor’s home.

Call for an evaluation if you notice any of these signs:

• Sudden or heavy leaning. Sudden leaning indicates a potential breakage of the root system, which likely means the tree is a danger. In other situations, we can diagnose why your tree has started leaning and make care recommendations.
• Visibly damaged or decaying roots. Trees can survive damage to their roots to an extent. However, in some cases, the damage may have gone too far. Our arborists will discuss everything with you, and we’ll help you make the most informed decisions for your tree’s health.
• Extensive cracks, cavities, and crevices in the trunk. Trees can incur damage from insects and diseases, windstorms, lightning strikes, fire, or the accumulation of ice or heavy snow on the branches. When cracks or cavities penetrate the bark, they damage a crucial layer of the tree. This layer allows for water and nutrients to disperse. If more than 25% of the bark is damaged, it will likely need professional removal.
• Dead or hanging branches in the upper crown. While this could be a situation requiring careful trimming measures, it may also indicate that the tree is unhealthy. Our arborists will inspect the tree to determine if there are crown-density reductions that will keep the tree healthy and avoid the need for removal.

Cosmetic Tree Removal

You may also decide to remove a tree because it’s growing into or near power lines, growing within falling distance of your home, or obstructing the view of traffic. We also remove trees that are interfering with the growth or health of trees nearby. From thinning overcrowded trees to making room for a new expansion to your home, sometimes, a tree needs to be cut down to make way for something else.
