Hazardous Tree Identification & Safe Removal
Not every dangerous tree looks dangerous. A tree that appears healthy from the ground can be hollow, decayed, or structurally unsound on the inside. Our Connecticut Licensed Arborists are trained to spot issues before they turn into emergencies.
We carefully assess trees for:
Cracks in the trunk or major limbs
Leaning, shifting soil, or root instability
Signs of rot, disease, or insect damage
Dead, broken, or hanging branches (“widowmakers”)
Previous storm damage or lightning strikes
If we determine a tree is a risk to your home, vehicles, power lines, or walkways, we’ll explain your options, walk you through the removal plan, and answer your questions. Our crews use proper rigging techniques, modern equipment, and strict safety protocols to bring trees down in a controlled, damage-free way.
Selective Tree Removal & Woodland Improvement
Tree removal isn’t always about danger—sometimes it’s about balance. Too much shade can leave lawns thin, gardens struggling, and your home darker than it needs to be. Selective removal targets specific trees or limbs to improve light, airflow, and overall property health.
Thoughtful selective removal can help:
Bring more sunlight to lawns, gardens, and vegetable beds
Improve airflow and reduce mold or mildew issues
Open up views of the river, woods, or yard
Make space for patios, additions, solar panels, or play areas
Give remaining trees more room and resources to thrive
Before we cut anything, we walk your property with you, listen to your goals, and design a plan that keeps what you love while improving safety, light, and aesthetics. Often, a few well-chosen removals can completely transform how your yard looks and feels—without clear-cutting.
Stump Grinding & Site Cleanup
Once a tree is removed, we can grind the stump below grade so you’re not left with a tripping hazard or an eyesore. Stump grinding allows you to:
Replant grass or garden beds
Prepare for hardscaping or new plantings
Keep your yard looking neat and finished
Our crew also cleans up wood, brush, and debris, leaving your property tidy and ready to use.
