01How a removal works

The crew assesses lean, decay and targets, then climbs or uses an aerial lift to take the tree down in sections, lowering heavy pieces with ropes. Open spaces may allow felling in one piece. Our reviewer's photos show a lift setting up and a backyard before and after a removal.

02What is included

Ask whether the quote covers hauling wood and brush, leaving firewood, and grinding the stump. See stump grinding and debris haul-off.
