What is tree falling?

Tree falling is the controlled process of safely cutting and lowering a tree to the ground. Proper planning and technique are critical, especially near buildings or tight spaces.

Do you remove the wood and debris after tree removal?

Yes. Cleanup is included unless otherwise requested. We remove branches, debris, and wood, or can leave usable wood on-site if you prefer.

What is stump grinding, and do I need it?

Stump grinding removes the remaining tree stump below ground level. It improves appearance, eliminates tripping hazards, prevents regrowth, and allows for landscaping or replanting.

How deep do you grind stumps?

Stumps are typically ground several inches below the surface, allowing soil or grass to be placed over the area.

What happens to the wood chips from stump grinding or chipping?

Wood chips can be removed or left on-site for use as mulch, depending on your preference.

What is wood chipping, and when is it needed?

Wood chipping is the process of breaking down branches and brush into mulch-sized chips. It’s commonly used after tree removal, pruning, or property cleanup.

What is tree liming?

Tree liming is a soil treatment that reduces excessive soil acidity and improves nutrient availability. Healthier soil leads to stronger roots and healthier trees.

What are the benefits of tree liming?

Tree liming helps improve nutrient absorption, supports root development, reduces stress on trees, and promotes long-term tree health—especially in acidic soils common in the Pacific Northwest.

Is tree liming the same as tree limbing?

No. Tree liming is a soil treatment. Tree limbing refers to cutting or removing branches. The two services are very different.

Signs may include poor growth, yellowing leaves, or soil tests showing high acidity. We can help determine if liming is beneficial for your trees.
