Tree Removal Removals with Care
Our commitment to caring includes discussing your options, practicing safety in all we do, respecting your property and leaving your yard cleaner than before we arrived.
When removal is the right choice
You can trust us to do it safely, without damage to your home or garden,
and without leaving behind a big mess.
Safety
Our first concern when it comes to removals is safety: for our climbers, for your home, your vehicles and even the plants in your garden.
Debris
A big part of a removal is dealing with the debris and firewood generated. We can truck it all away or leave the firewood neatly stacked.
Clean up
You'll find your yard as tidy as it was before we removed your tree. We pride ourselves in doing clean up that you'll rave about.
Benefits of Wildlife Trees
Did you know that trees that pose danger to property and people can be made safer without full removal?
We can prune and remove the defective parts of the tree, reducing the tree to a safe height while retaining a tall stump as wildlife habitat for insects, birds and other creatures.
Removals aren't always easy
Need advice and expert opinion? Grow Tree Care has over 65 years of collective arboriculture experience.
The decision to remove a tree, especially a beloved tree, doesn't always come easy. You might be wondering if the tree is healthy or safe. Maybe you're hoping it could be pruned or rejuvenated with plant health care treatments. Maybe a wildlife tree is the best option, or removal and replacement with a new tree.
We will take the time to understand your concerns, talk through your options and share perspective and advice gleaned from years of arboriculture experience. If the end result is that removal is the right choice for you, we can even support you with replanting.
Have a tree leaning over your house, in the back garden or over a bank?
No problem. Our specialty is tree removal using climbing and rigging systems for technical trees in tight spaces or with limited access. Our skilled climbers have years of experience bringing down trees of all sizes in awkward locations.
We also have an 83' spider lift that can fit through a standard gate so for the right job, our lift can help make the work safer for everyone.

We love trees and gardens as much as you, and recognize the love and effort that goes into cultivating a healthy garden. Our climbers and crew members will make their best efforts to work around existing plants and shrubs without damage while in your space. Falling debris is manipulated by hand and rope to ensure the smallest footprint is left behind.
It’s amazing what humans can do with a bit a rope and know how! We aim to leave your garden as tidy (or tidier) than it was before we came.
The quick answer is Yes!
The longer version: We can certainly recommend some good candidates for the space based on species' size or other factors (shade tree, privacy, fast growing, flowering, environmental tolerance, etc.) but we will leave the choosing of specific cultivars to you.
“Is it possible that we don’t own our trees?”
As property owners, we are often excited to have our own space to customize and make our own, from the details of the home to…
“Is this tree healthy?”
To answer this question, we have to ask ourselves, “what is tree health?” From an arboriculture standpoint, tree health is separate from structural integrity. Tree…
“This tree is too big”
Actually, the tree is just the size it was genetically predisposed to be. It may be that: This is why we love the opportunity…
