Tree Removal and Planting

• Tree Removal
  Tree removal can be a sour term for arborists. Unfortunately, there are occasions when a tree needs to be removed, such as the tree has become a hazard, the tree has died, the tree is in the way of construction, or just doesn't fit the landscape any longer.  As responsible tree care professionals, we have the experience and equipment to get the job done safely and efficiently.
• Stump Grinding and Removal
  After a tree is removed there is a stump.  We can grind out the stump to the point that a new tree can be planted in the same location.  There are several options for the clean-up: grindings can be left on site, raked up and left in a neat pile, or removed to leave the area level.  Even options for backfilling with topsoil and grass seed.
• Storm Damage Cleanup
• Tree Planting
  At Friendly Tree Service we also plant trees and shrubs.  We do enjoy planting trees for the future, we call it job security.  In many urban areas that have street trees, the municipality will often require the property owner to replace the street tree that was removed.  We can assist with this process, from tree selection to planting, and care to help it develop into a mature tree for many years of enjoyment.

• Tree Cabling and Bracing
  Trees can grow with natural flaws such as included bark. Included bark weakens the branch unions.
• Arborist Services
  Pruning is both an art and science, there is much more than just taking a saw to a tree branch.  Trees and shrubs require many different types of pruning.  This is dependent on the species, size, and age of the tree or shrub; as well as the goals for the property and client.   With this information, our arborists will find the balance between the plant and client needs.
