Rick's can routinely inspect your trees for common hazards that may have a direct impact on your safety:

-  Proximity to utility lines and other structures

-  Broken or partially detached limbs

-  Decay or rot

-  Potential damage to root structure due to    construction or other grading.

We specialize in the removal of the large & hazardous trees. Our teams of skilled climbers have many years of experience in dealing with all types of difficult situations such as limited access areas, near by utility lines, and trees with extreme decay.

There are often situations when removal of a tree becomes necessary:

   -  Dead, dying, diseased, or hazardous trees

   -  Obstruction or crowding

   -  To allow for construction

   -  replacement by a more suitable specimen

We are well qualified in crane removals and because of our known experience in this area are often hired by other tree services to help them in their endeavors

Grinding of stumps helps to facilitate replanting or aesthetics and prevents tripping hazards.

We offer 2 types of portable machines, one in which can fit through a 36” opening without the need to be towed by a truck thus limiting the potential for unnecessary lawn damage

Often, trees, brush and shrubs that are not correctly maintained can overtake the edges of your property, leaving you with less of your yard every year.
