Why Choose United Tree Care for Tree Removal?
Safety First Approach
Tree removal is one of the most dangerous services in arboriculture. United Tree Care prioritizes safety for your family, neighbors, and our crew through detailed planning and industry-standard safety protocols.
Professional Expertise
Our certified arborists and experienced removal specialists know how to evaluate each tree and plan the safest removal strategy. We evaluate tree condition, nearby structures, power lines, and environmental factors before beginning work.
Proper Equipment
United Tree Care operates advanced equipment including bucket trucks, cranes, rigging equipment, and specialized tools. The right equipment allows us to remove trees safely and efficiently, even in tight spaces or challenging situations.
Insurance and Licensing
United Tree Care maintains complete general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Our licensing and credentials protect you from liability and maintain professional standards.
Experience with Complex Removals
Whether a tree is large, dangerously close to structures, leaning precariously, or in a tight location, United Tree Care has the expertise to handle complex removal situations safely.
Stump Removal and Site Restoration
United Tree Care doesn’t just remove the tree—we also grind stumps and restore your site. Your yard is left clean and ready for new landscaping or other uses.
What United Tree Care Tree Removal Includes
United Tree Care provides full-service tree removal that addresses every aspect of the process:
Professional Tree Assessment
United Tree Care arborists evaluate your tree’s size, health, location, and structural condition. We identify hazards, assess proximity to structures and utilities, and determine the safest removal method. This assessment informs our detailed removal plan and accurate quote.
Hazard Analysis and Planning
Before any work begins, United Tree Care identifies potential hazards and develops a detailed removal strategy. We plan the sequence of cuts, determine rigging requirements, assess landing zones, and establish safety protocols to protect your property and our crew.
Safe Tree Felling
When conditions permit, United Tree Care may fell the tree in a controlled manner. We use specialized cutting techniques, assess wind and weight distribution, and control the direction of fall to minimize property impact and maintain safety.
Climbing and Section Removal
For trees near structures, power lines, or in confined spaces, United Tree Care specialists climb the tree and carefully remove it in sections. Each piece is lowered to the ground using rigging equipment to prevent damage to your home, deck, fence, or landscaping.
Crane Removal Services
United Tree Care utilizes crane services for large trees in tight locations or when climbing and lowering sections aren’t feasible. Crane removal is faster than section removal and often safer for extremely large or hazardous trees.
Large Branch and Debris Management
As the tree is removed, United Tree Care manages large branches and debris. Logs are cut and stacked for removal or firewood, smaller branches are chipped into mulch, and all debris is cleared from your property.
Stump Grinding
United Tree Care removes stumps using professional grinding equipment that reduces the stump below ground level. This leaves your yard ready for new landscaping, construction, or replanting.
Emergency Removal Services
United Tree Care provides rapid response for emergency tree removal following storms, disease outbreaks, or safety hazards. Our emergency services are available to address urgent tree threats to your home and property.
Need That Tree Gone? We’ll Handle It Safely.
When Is Tree Removal Necessary?
Dead Trees
Dead trees pose serious safety hazards. They’re more prone to branch failure, uprooting, and collapse. A completely dead tree should be removed promptly to prevent damage to structures, vehicles, or people. United Tree Care identifies dead trees and safely removes them before problems occur.
Diseased Trees
Trees suffering from serious diseases like Dutch elm disease, oak wilt, emerald ash borer infestation, or other terminal conditions often cannot recover. Removing diseased trees prevents disease spread to other trees in your landscape and eliminates ongoing decline and hazards.
Hazardous Trees
Trees with structural problems, poor branch attachment, extensive damage, or dangerous lean pose unacceptable risks. Hazardous trees can fail during storms, high winds, or heavy snow loads, causing injury or property damage. United Tree Care identifies and removes hazardous trees before they fail.
Trees Too Close to Structures
Trees growing too close to homes, garages, decks, or other structures can damage rooflines, foundations, and siding. Roots may infiltrate underground utilities. When trees cannot be trimmed to safe distances, removal is the safest option.
Interference with Utilities
Trees growing into or near power lines, telephone lines, water lines, or gas lines create hazards and may require removal. United Tree Care coordinates with utility companies when necessary and removes trees safely.
Space and Access Issues
Overcrowded landscaping, blocked sightlines on driveways or walkways, or trees interfering with new construction may require removal. United Tree Care removes trees to open space for new projects or improve safety and access.
Poor Tree Health and Vigor
Trees stressed by soil compaction, poor drainage, disease, pest damage, or environmental pollution may be so weakened that they cannot recover. Removing struggling trees makes room for healthier specimens and improves overall landscape health.
Species and Pest Problems
Some tree species become problematic in certain locations, attracting pests or creating excessive mess. Invasive species may threaten native ecosystems. Removing problematic trees helps maintain a healthy landscape.
Tree Removal Process and Safety
United Tree Care follows a detailed, safety-focused process for every tree removal:
Site Evaluation and Planning
United Tree Care assesses the tree, property, structures, utilities, and surrounding vegetation. We develop a detailed removal plan with identified hazards and safety protocols.
Equipment Positioning
Our crew positions equipment safely at appropriate distances from structures, power lines, and property boundaries. Equipment setup is carefully planned to maximize efficiency and safety.
Tree Preparation
Before cutting begins, United Tree Care may install rigging lines, set up safety equipment, and prepare landing zones. The crew establishes communication protocols and safety barriers.
Controlled Removal
United Tree Care removes the tree using the planned method—felling, climbing and sectioning, or crane removal. Each cut is made with precision and control to prevent accidents or property damage.
Immediate Cleanup
As pieces are removed, United Tree Care manages debris, cuts logs to manageable sizes, and chips branches. The site remains organized and safe throughout removal.
Stump Removal
After the trunk is removed, United Tree Care grinds the stump below ground level, removing most of the root structure and leaving a clean, level area.
Final Cleanup
All debris is removed or chipped, the site is raked and restored, and your property is returned to clean, usable condition. Optional mulch can be spread or hauled away as you prefer.
Common Tree Removal Scenarios
- Storm-Damaged Trees: Trees damaged by high winds, ice storms, or lightning often cannot recover. Broken trunks, torn branches, and exposed wood create entry points for disease and pests. United Tree Care quickly removes storm-damaged trees and provides emergency cleanup.
- Leaning or Uprooted Trees: Trees that lean dangerously or are partially uprooted are structurally compromised and may collapse. United Tree Care safely removes these unstable trees before they fail and cause injury or damage.
- Trees Infected with Invasive Pests: Emerald ash borer, Asian longhorned beetle, and other invasive pests can kill trees and spread to surrounding vegetation. United Tree Care removes infested trees to prevent pest spread and protect your landscape.
- Root Issues and Damage: Trees with aggressive root systems damaging foundations, sidewalks, driveways, or underground utilities may require removal. United Tree Care evaluates root damage and recommends removal when roots threaten structures or utilities.
- Multiple Tree Removal Projects: When you need to remove several trees—for clearing overgrown areas, property development, or disease management—United Tree Care efficiently handles large-scale removals with minimal disruption.
Tree Removal vs. Tree Trimming
Many property owners wonder whether their tree should be trimmed or removed. United Tree Care helps you make the right choice:
Tree Trimming
Removes specific branches to improve health, appearance, or safety while preserving the tree. Trimming is appropriate for generally healthy trees with manageable problems.
Tree Removal
Eliminates the entire tree when it’s dead, terminally diseased, structurally unsafe, or no longer wanted. Removal is necessary when trees cannot be salvaged through trimming or pruning.
United Tree Care arborists can evaluate your tree and recommend the best solution. In many cases, trimming preserves valuable trees and is more cost-effective than removal.
After Tree Removal: What's Next?
After Tree Removal: What's Next?
United Tree Care grinds stumps below ground level, removing most roots and leaving a clean area ready for landscaping. Stump grinding prevents regrowth and opens space for new plantings or construction.
Site Preparation
After stump removal, your site can be prepared for new landscaping, gardens, hardscaping, or other uses. United Tree Care can recommend appropriate plants to replace removed trees.
Mulching and Cleanup
Chips from removed branches can be spread as mulch to suppress weeds, retain moisture, and improve soil. United Tree Care handles mulch application as part of site restoration.
New Landscaping Opportunities
Removing problem trees opens opportunities for new landscaping designs. United Tree Care can discuss tree replacement options and landscaping improvements to enhance your property.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Tree Removal
How much does tree removal cost?
Tree removal costs vary based on tree size, location, species, access, hazards, and whether stump removal is included. United Tree Care provides free estimates after evaluating your specific situation. Pricing factors include equipment needs, climbing difficulty, debris removal, and site restoration.
How long does tree removal take?
Simple removals may take a few hours, while large or complex removals can take a full day or multiple days. United Tree Care plans work efficiently while prioritizing safety. We discuss timeline expectations during your free estimate consultation.
Do I need permits for tree removal?
Some municipalities require permits for tree removal, particularly for large trees or trees in protected status. United Tree Care can advise whether permits are needed and assist with the permit process if required.
What happens to the wood and branches?
United Tree Care offers several options: wood can be chipped into mulch for your landscape, cut for firewood, hauled away, or left for you to dispose of. We discuss your preferences and handle material removal accordingly.
Will removal hurt nearby trees?
Proper tree removal should not harm nearby trees. United Tree Care takes precautions to prevent damage during removal and avoids root damage to surrounding vegetation. We’re careful about where debris lands and how we manage the removal process.
Can you remove multiple trees?
Yes. United Tree Care handles single-tree removals and large-scale clearing projects. We can remove several trees efficiently, sometimes completing multiple removals in a day depending on tree size and complexity.
Is tree removal an emergency service?
United Tree Care provides emergency tree removal for hazardous trees, fallen trees blocking access, or trees threatening homes. We respond quickly to urgent situations to restore safety and access.
What if the tree is close to my house?
Trees near houses require careful planning and often section removal or crane removal to prevent property damage. United Tree Care has extensive experience removing trees in tight spaces without damaging homes, decks, or utilities.
Will stump removal damage my lawn?
Professional stump grinding minimizes lawn damage. United Tree Care operates equipment carefully and can restore the area after grinding. Small areas of disturbed soil are typically raked and can be reseeded or replanted.
How deep are tree roots removed?
United Tree Care grinds stumps 12-18 inches below ground level, removing most of the root system. Some deep roots remain but won’t regrow into new trees. Severe root damage to utilities is typically managed through the grinding process.
What about environmental concerns?
United Tree Care removes trees responsibly, chipping material for reuse and minimizing waste. We follow all environmental regulations and can discuss replanting options to maintain your landscape’s green space.
How long until I can use the area after removal?
After stump grinding and cleanup, your property is immediately usable for most purposes. If you’re planning replanting, we recommend waiting for soil settling. United Tree Care can discuss specific timelines based on your plans.
