Safe Tree Removal Starts With a Plan
Removing a tree isn’t about cutting wood. It’s about protecting everything around it.
Every property is different. Trees may be growing over homes, garages, driveways, pools, fences, gardens, power lines, or neighboring properties. Some trees can be climbed and rigged. Others require bucket trucks, specialized equipment, or crane-assisted removal.
Before work begins, Arborex evaluates:
Tree size, species, and condition
Lean, decay, and structural stability
Nearby homes, roofs, fences, and landscaping
Ground conditions
The safest removal method
Utility lines and surrounding trees
Access for equipment
The result is a well-planned project completed safely, efficiently, and with respect for your property.
Why Homeowners Remove Trees
Not every tree needs to be removed, but there are times when removal is the safest and smartest solution. Common reasons include:
Dead or dying trees
Trees damaged by storms or lightning
Large limbs over roofs or driveways
Trees leaning toward structures
Root damage from construction
Diseased or declining trees
Trees growing too close to homes or foundations
Trees interfering with additions, pools, or landscaping projects
Property clearing before construction
HOA or insurance requirements
If a tree can be safely preserved through pruning or maintenance, we’ll tell you. Our goal is to solve the problem—not sell unnecessary work.

Difficult Tree Removal Is Our Specialty
Many companies can remove a tree standing in an open yard. The real test comes when the tree is:
- 100 feet tall
- Leaning over your home
- Wedged between neighboring properties
- Growing over a pool
- Surrounded by mature landscaping
- Blocking access
- Damaged after a storm
These are the projects Arborex handles every week. Our company-owned cranes, bucket trucks, loaders, chippers, stump grinders, specialized rigging equipment, and ground protection mats allow us to remove complex trees with remarkable precision while minimizing impact to your property.
Complete Cleanup Is Part of Every Job
One of the most common compliments we receive isn’t about removing the tree. It’s about what the property looks like afterward.
Our crews don’t simply cut down a tree and leave. We remove debris, rake work areas, blow off driveways and patios, protect surrounding landscaping whenever possible, and perform a final walkthrough before leaving. Many customers tell us you would never know a tree company had been there—except the tree is gone.

What Our Customers Say
“Both of our trees were in very hard-to-get-to places, including a pine close to 100 feet tall. The crew was extremely professional and knowledgeable, and when they finished they cleaned everything up as if it were their own yard.”
“The cleanup was next level. The area they worked in was actually in better shape than when they arrived.”
“They removed twelve dangerous trees before an ice storm, cleaned everything up, and you couldn’t even tell they had been there.”

FAQ
How much does tree removal cost?
Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, condition, location, access, nearby structures, required equipment, cleanup, and whether stump grinding is included. Every property is different, so we provide a free on-site evaluation and written quote.
Do all large trees require a crane?
No. Many large trees can be safely removed using climbing techniques, rigging systems, or bucket trucks. When lifting sections by crane is the safest and most efficient method, Arborex already owns the equipment needed.
Will you remove all the debris?
Can you remove trees close to my house?
Should I remove my tree or just prune it?
