Professional and safe tree removal

Tree removal is not a service we like to emphasize, but it is a very necessary part of arboriculture and one that Bartlett executes professionally and safely. Our goal is, and has always been, to provide services that keep trees healthy, but there are instances when removal is the best alternative for the landscape and homeowner.

Tree removals are performed to eliminate dead and dying trees as well as those that have become hazardous. Removals can also be useful in eliminating competition for light and space so that the remaining plants are better able to grow and thrive. In some cases, trees may also be removed to allow for new construction, home additions, and to provide clearances with those structures.

Tree removal is the most hazardous aspect of arboriculture. Often, tree workers must remove trees growing in confined spaces near houses, utility lines and other sensitive areas. Tree removal requires considerable expertise to successfully perform this task.

At Bartlett Tree Experts, our arborists are highly trained to work safely and efficiently in all tree removals. We provide thorough cleanup of debris and strive to minimize the impact to surrounding vegetation.

As part of the tree removal process, the stump will typically be left as close to the ground as possible. If needed, removal of the stump can be provided. Stump removal can be challenging and often special machinery is required, but it may be necessary if the stump is a hazard in the landscape or simply an eyesore. Stump grinding by a professional is the easiest and safest way to handle this work.

Commitment to safety

Commitment to safety

We employ regional Safety and Training Coordinators who evaluate and train arborists on the latest tools and techniques for performing tree work. In recent years, there have been considerable advances in the technology and equipment for safely and efficiently removing large trees.

Normally 4-6" unless otherwise agreed upon at the point of sale. You should also discuss any surface roots or other obstructions you'd like attended to. Also discuss debris removal with your Arborist/Representative. A large stump will produce a small truckload of chips.
The short answer is yes. Either scenario will likely damage the tree. The long answer is, it depends on the number of roots, the size of the roots, and how far away from the trunk are you cutting the roots. We assist construction companies with work within the root zone of trees by excavating the roots that are impacted to assess these factors.
Climbing spikes are used for removals as needed but not for pruning.
