🌳 Tree Removal

Are you tired of being terrorized by trees? Let us protect you from this dangerous menace to society.

For far too long have we been terrorized by the giant green plague that is spreading across the globe, swallowing everything in its path from small children to the endangered silverback gorilla. I am speaking of course about TREES. This leafy menace has been known to encroach upon homes, utility lines, driveways and children’s play areas, thus causing tripping hazards and a variety of other evils.

Knowing that we humans rely on the Sun’s glorious rays for nourishment and survival, this prickly menace oftentimes conspires to block out the sun, creating too much shade and inhibiting our lawns from growing. Indeed, trees are clearly the epitome of evil.

Here are four things that my boss says I have to tell you about our tree removal service:

🌴 Standard tree removal depends on a multitude of circumstances. The municipality you live in will determine the lawful documentation and permits required for tree removal. Most often this involves an Arborist Report and a ‘Permit to Injure.’ If the tree is an imminent hazard to safety and wellbeing, then the process becomes expedited.
👷‍♂️ Typically, our crews will consist of a ground-person and climber. Together, they develop a strategy of attack to safely and quickly remove the tree. We take into consideration a variety of obstacles. We plan to work around power lines, decks, roofs and any obstacle of value. Often removal will involve extensive rigging. With ropes and pulleys, the climber and ground-person work together to safely eliminate the tree.
🔥 Explain to our Arborist what you’d like done with the tree after removal. Reduced rates will be offered to customers who choose to keep the wood, as we pass our absence of dumping fees back to the customer. Our arborist will give a free no obligation estimation upon examining the situation on site.
🌱 For every tree that we cut, Man with an Axe Inc. will plant FIVE new trees somewhere around the world where it’s needed most. Ask your Tree Representative for the available options that week.

✂️ Tree Pruning

Getting your trees pruned is essential for maintaining tree health, and preventing them from enslaving the human race.

If you are one of the unfortunate ones who has been deceived by our tree overlords into believing that you need each other to co-exist, then you will want to make sure you are getting your trees trimmed on a regular basis to maintain their health.

If your ultimate goal is an unhealthy tree, you may be concerned to learn that regular tree pruning may result in your tree being too healthy, too strong, and too structurally sound. I am told that I need not worry, for our typical customer’s goal is to make their tree the healthiest and most beautiful version of itself possible. If you are one of those people, here’s what you need to know about tree pruning and trimming:

🎄 You are permitted to trim up to 25% of a tree before its health begins to be impacted. Overcrowding of dead and living limbs in the canopy can inhibit a tree’s growth. Selectivity is the key to pruning. Trimming an area clogged with twigs will allow for the tree to emphasize growth on the remaining branches. The result is fewer but stronger branches, an overall improvement to structural integrity, and a reduction in foliage.
💀 Disease and dead limbs in a canopy are a hazardous risk to property and safety. Some diseases can only be eliminated by stopping the spread of infection. This would require immediate tree surgery. The tree will slowly die as it’s structural integrity worsens. Eventually, this tree will become a removal.
😵 Dead branches can easily be dealt with through climbing or pole-saw work. A weak attachment to the body of the tree, combined with their overall dead weight dragging the limb down, could cause it to snap unexpectedly. Worse, this could cause an overall structural failure and cause the rest of the tree to snap or be damaged beyond healing. Trimming is recommended to ensure safety.
🌳 Prices are dependent on the complexity of the pruning process. Often, pruning can take longer and involve more planning than a standard removal. Our helpful arborist will arrive on site for a free quote. Make sure to inform our team of any additional information in regards to property and how you would prefer the service carried out.

🌱 Tree Planting

Our certified arborists will work with you to plant trees that thrive in the landscape, factoring in climate, soil conditions and short and long-term property goals. Knowing where and how to plant a tree can make all the difference.

💣 Stump Grinding and Removal

Whether you have just removed a tree or are simply fed up with an unsightly stump, we have the equipment to get the job done. Our stump removal service neatly grinds the stump to ground level or below, allowing you to once again grow sod or plants.

🐛 Tree and Deep Root Fertilization

Our deep root fertilization process injects a high quality, custom blended, nutrient solution directly into the root zone of the tree. Because these materials are injected under intense pressure, the soil is aerated with much-needed oxygen for the entire root system.

📈 Arborist Reports

Our certified arborist will outline the location, condition and areas of concern for any tree. They will determine whether the tree damage is biotic (insects, fungi, etc) or abiotic (construction activities, lightning, etc) and then provide solutions such as fertilization, pest control, or pruning and removal.
