Our Tree Removal Process
At Mathews Tree Service, we make tree removal safe, efficient, and hassle-free. No matter the size or location of your tree, we have the expertise and equipment to handle the job professionally.
1️⃣ Assessment & Planning
We start by evaluating your tree’s condition, size, location, and surrounding property. This tree risk assessment allows us to determine the safest and most efficient removal method, whether it requires climbing, using a bucket truck,
or even a crane truck for large or hard-to-reach trees.
2️⃣ Professional Tree Removal
Our team uses industry-standard techniques and specialized equipment to remove trees safely:
Tree Climbing:
For precise removal in tight spaces or near structures.
Bucket Truck Removal:
Provides reach and stability for mid-size trees or tricky locations.
Crane Truck Removal:
Ideal for very large trees or trees in areas where traditional removal isn’t safe.
No matter the method, we carefully control the fall of each branch and trunk to protect your property and landscaping.
3️⃣ Property Cleanup
Once the tree is safely removed, we offer several options to fit your needs:
- Log Retention: Keep the logs for personal use, firewood, or landscaping.
- Full Debris Hauling: We can haul away all branches, logs, and debris, leaving your property spotless.
- Wood Chipping Services: Our powerful chipper allows us to recycle branches into usable wood chips — we can leave them for you to use as mulch or haul them away.
