When it’s time to let go….
While we always do our best to save a tree, it may be that the tree needs to be removed. If you took a look at your trees over the Labor Day holiday weekend and noticed some things may not look as they should, it’s likely the tree may be damaged or dying. Once this diagnosis is made there are a few important factors to keep in mind.
One of the very first things that we check before we even start a removal job is to check if a removal permit is required for the removal. If we are removing a large tree, the chances of the tree requiring a permit is quite high. And the great news is that we do all of our own permit processing in house for you! Most permits require an arborist letter, some need sketches and some may need pictures. As part of our full tree service mantra, we are available to take care of these things for you. We know that dealing with all that paperwork can be quite a headache, that is why we will take care of it for you. If you aren’t sure if your city or county requires a permit for your tree, give our knowledgeable and friendly office a call and we will be more than happy to answer any question you might have.
Safe removal is key. We have several methods for removing trees. If the tree is easily accessible, a crane removal may be necessary. Thankfully, we here at Econo Tree Service have just the right equipment for the job. A few years ago, we purchased a heavy duty 
crane because we had been getting requests for large tree removals. We have used our crane on several removals over the past few years and find it to be the most efficient and safest way to remove large trees.
If crane removal is not possible, we may also use a bucket truck to reach the highest parts of trees to cut and lower chunks of wood safely down to the grade. We also have certified tree climbers who are skilled in safely cutting and lowering wood to the ground as we remove your tree
We know that for some of you, your trees are a very important and well loved part of your home. I spoke to a recent client who had originally planted her trees when she moved in several years ago and was now faced with having to have it removed. It can be sometimes be quite heartbreaking to see a beloved part of your home being removed. But, it is always possible we may be able to save the wood for you. We have had clients re use the wood from trees that we have taken down for home projects, like benches and tables. We have also cut up chunks of the tree trunks for stepping stones on a path. There are many creative ways to recycle the wood from the removal of a tree.
We also cut and sell firewood on site at our yard We have a log splitter that cuts the wood into fireplace size pieces that can be used in your fireplace during the cold winter months. We only sell well aged firewood from Oak trees that we have removed. This ensures that you are receiving the highest quality firewood.
From removing trees to providing highest quality firewood, trees are our specialty. Give our office a call today to find out how we can get to work for you!
