Tree removal and trimming

Dead, leaning, too big for the spot, or lifting the driveway — some trees need to come out. We have the trucks for tall and awkward removals, and we take them down in a controlled way around your house, fence and lawn.

We also prune trees and shrubs, and when a tree comes out we can plant the right replacement for the space.

Is this right for you?

A good fit if…

  • A tree is dead, dying or dropping large limbs.
  • A tree leans toward the house, a fence or power lines.
  • Roots are lifting concrete or the tree is too close to the house.
  • You want an overgrown tree or hedge cut back instead of removed.

How we do it

Step by step.

  1. 1

    Look at the tree with you

    Size, lean, condition, what's underneath it, and how equipment can reach it.

  2. 2

    Plan how it comes down

    Open space allows a tree to come down in one piece; tight spaces mean taking it down in sections so nothing below gets hit.

  3. 3

    Take it down and clean up

    The tree comes down, and the yard is cleaned up afterward.

  4. 4

    Replant if you want

    A replacement tree sized and chosen for the spot, so you don't end up removing it again in twenty years.

Utah weather & soil

Trees that cause trouble in the Salt Lake Valley

Some of the most common trees in older Salt Lake Valley neighborhoods are also the most trouble: Siberian elms with weak, brittle wood that seed into every bed, and big cottonwoods and willows that drop limbs in wind and chase water lines with their roots.

Heavy wet spring snow and canyon wind events are when weak limbs fail. If a tree is already cracked or leaning, it's worth dealing with before winter rather than after a storm.

What it costs

What moves the price.

We don’t give prices over the phone, because a number for a yard we haven’t seen is a guess. Jason walks it with you and you get a written estimate — free, with no obligation.

  • Tree height and trunk size
  • How close it is to the house, fence or lines
  • Access for trucks
  • Whether it can come down whole or in sections
  • Clean-up and haul-off

Questions

What people ask us.

Can you remove a tree right next to the house?

Usually — tight removals are taken down in sections so nothing below gets damaged. We'll look at it with you first.

Do you trim trees too, or only remove them?

Both. We prune trees and shrubs as well as removing them.

We work across Riverton, Herriman, South Jordan, Draper, Bluffdale, West Jordan and the rest of the Salt Lake Valley. Something else on your mind? Call 801-608-7207.
