At a glance

What's included in Tree Removal

Not every tree can simply be felled. In tight backyards around Belleville, Swansea and O'Fallon, trees often stand within a few feet of houses, fences, garages and power lines. For those jobs we use specialized aerial work and rigging techniques, lowering limbs and trunk sections on ropes instead of letting them fall. That keeps heavy wood off your roof, your lawn and your neighbor's property. Dead trees get extra caution because the wood can be brittle and unpredictable, so we assess decay before anyone climbs. Storm-damaged trees carry stored tension in split trunks and hung-up limbs, and we release that tension in a planned order. Once the tree is down, we cut the wood, haul the brush, rake the area and leave the site tidy. Full cleanup is included on every removal, and stump grinding can be added to the same visit so the area is ready for new grass, a garden or a new tree. Residential and commercial properties are both welcome, and estimates can often be arranged on-site even when you cannot be home.

I learned a lot about the trees. I was very glad to hear my big tree just needed some cables and treatment and was healthier than i thought. OT wants to save the trees and nit just cut down and remove them. Pleasant Clean up was good. Had some complications but will be seeing them in spring for tree treatments and some other work . Thanks. I feel the prices were reasonable and they weren't trying to gouge me!!!! Had 6 trimmed and one cut down.

Very fairly priced for tree work from what I’ve seen. They can safely handle hazardous work. Give them call if you have any questions. They also do a lot with tree disease health management.
