TREE REMOVALS

Evaluation & Planning

We assess the tree’s size, health, location, and structural risks. Then we create a removal plan tailored to your property.

Safety Setup

Safety is our top priority. We set up ropes, rigging, equipment, and drop zones to protect your home and crew.

Controlled Removal

Using climbing, rigging, or bucket techniques, we carefully and efficiently remove your tree section by section.

Brush & Wood Removal

We can remove all debris, leave wood on-site for firewood, chip branches, and cut logs to manageable sizes. Cleanup is always included unless you request otherwise.

Stump Options

After removal, you can choose stump grinding, complete stump removal, or leaving the stump (if preferred). We can grind the stump immediately or schedule it separately.

🪵 When Tree RemovaL Is Necessary

Removing a tree may be the only way to protect your property or enhance your landscape. You may need removal if:

  • The tree is dead, declining, or diseased

  • Large branches are dropping or showing signs of failure

  • The tree is leaning toward your home, driveway, or power lines

  • Storm damage has weakened the trunk or limbs

  • Roots are affecting foundations, septic systems, or walkways

  • The tree is too close to structures or interfering with your landscaping plans

  • The tree species naturally becomes brittle, hazardous, or invasive

If you're unsure, our arborists can evaluate the tree and give you an honest recommendation.

Our Tree Removal Capabilities

High Falls Tree Service is equipped to handle all types of removals—from small ornamental trees to massive, mature hardwoods.

Climbing & Traditional Rigging

For trees located in tight or inaccessible spaces, our trained climbers use modern rigging methods to remove branches and trunk sections piece by piece. This protects your yard, roof, and surrounding structures.

Bucket Truck Removals

When access allows, we use a bucket truck to speed up the removal process and improve safety.

Crane-Assisted Removals

For extremely hazardous or oversized trees, we partner with crane operators to remove the tree safely and efficiently. This is often the safest option for compromised trunks or storm-damaged trees.

Technical Removals

We specialize in complex removals involving:

  • Limited drop zones

  • Nearby structures

  • Fences, pools, sheds, and garages

  • Sloped terrain

  • Close property lines

  • Trees tangled in other trees

Our team stays up to date with the latest rigging techniques through continuing education with the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) and the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA).

  • Why Homeowners Choose High Falls Tree Service

    “You never know what you are going to get when you call for a contracting service. The best you can do is get recommendations. You can read the reviews on Yelp or Google. That was the case for my call for tree service. I read reviews and called a couple of companies. Some of them never returned my calls. High Falls Tree Service returned my call promptly, and the work was amazing. We had a 60-70ft pine dying in our front yard. They came out to remove it and said it would take two hours. Not only were they done in less than two hours, but they also cleaned up all the debris and chips in our driveway, my neighbors’ driveway, the street in front of the house, and even our little front porch. They were fast, efficient, and worked beautifully as a team. If you need tree guys, call for them.”

    “I could not have asked for better service for the removal of a large tree from my yard than I received from High Falls. The quote was given the same day, and service was rendered on schedule. They needed to avoid my home, patio, shed, and a hot tub, and did so with the right equipment and crew, with no damage. They had this tree down in 4 hours, and with total cleanup. Price was very reasonable, and the crew was top-notch, friendly, and courteous. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
