How Do Tree Removal Companies Protect Your Property?
Ensuring the protection of your property during tree removal is our top priority. Our process begins with a thorough assessment of the tree and its surroundings to identify potential hazards and establish a clear plan of action.
A critical step in this plan is preparing the fall zone, which involves determining the safest direction for the tree to fall and clearing that area of any obstacles, such as:
- Vehicles
- Outdoor furniture
- Moveable structures
- Toys
- Lawncare equipment
- ...and more
To further protect your property, we use protective barriers and ground coverings to shield landscaping features and delicate surfaces from damage caused by falling branches or equipment. Our team also takes measures to minimize soil compaction around the tree's base by using lightweight machinery and laying down mats or plywood to distribute weight evenly. This helps preserve the health of the soil and surrounding vegetation.
By carefully sectioning the tree and lowering large branches with ropes and pulleys, we reduce the risk of uncontrolled falls and property damage. These meticulous steps, combined with our professional expertise, ensure your property remains safe throughout the tree removal process.
How Long Does Emergency Tree Removal Take?
For smaller trees or those that are easily accessible, the removal process might be completed within a few hours. However, larger trees or those situated near structures, power lines, or other hazards may require more time due to the need for careful planning, additional safety precautions, and potentially more complex equipment.
Big Dave's Tree Service's Tree Removal Services: Our Approach
Our tree removal services are characterized by a safety-focused approach. We prioritize the well-being of our team, your property, and the surrounding environment, ensuring each removal project is executed with precision and care. We begin by conducting a thorough assessment of the tree and its surroundings to identify potential hazards, determine the best course of action, and develop a customized removal plan.
When you work with us, we undertake the following steps:
- Limbing: We remove limbs and branches from the tree, starting from the bottom and working upwards, to reduce weight and minimize potential hazards.
- Felling: We fell the tree in sections, carefully directing its fall away from structures and other obstacles to ensure a controlled descent.
- Trunk removal: We cut the tree trunk into manageable sections for removal from the site.
Emergency Tree Felling
When homeowners and businesses need the quickest and safest emergency tree felling, they turn to us-and it's not just because we're renowned arborists. When you're facing a situation with a hazardous tree, many things could go wrong and cause liability, damage, injury, and harm.
We're here to ensure high-risk trees are taken care of swiftly, safely, and responsibly. You can relax knowing trained professionals are here with the equipment and solutions you need to solve problems without incurring any damage.
Why settle for subpar service and a long wait time when you can get in touch with our licensed professionals and get an immediate response? All you have to do is give us a call and let us know the details of your situation. Then, we'll give you an estimate and send our crew over to remove your tree immediately.
What Is Tree Limbing?
Tree limbing, also known as pruning, involves the removal of branches or limbs from a tree to reduce the risk of property damage or personal injury. In emergency situations, tree limbs may need to be removed if they pose an immediate danger, such as hanging over a structure or road after a storm.
Proper limbing techniques ensure that the tree’s stability is maintained while addressing potential hazards, especially in urgent scenarios. Our arborists use highly effective and secure methods to safely remove dangerous limbs while preserving the tree’s health when possible.
Advanced Tree Felling Techniques
Advanced tree felling involves the strategic cutting and removal of trees, particularly in hazardous or confined spaces. During emergency tree removal, we use techniques such as directional felling, where the tree is cut to fall in a controlled direction, minimizing risk to surrounding structures and people.
In some instances, conditions make it too dangerous to fall a tree in one piece. Therefore, sectional dismantling (cutting the tree down into smaller parts) is the next best option.
These advanced methods ensure that even the most complex tree removals are handled safely and efficiently, with minimal impact on your property.
What Should You Do If a Tree Falls on Power Lines?
If a tree falls on power lines, immediately call emergency services or your local utility company. Inform them of the situation and provide details about the location of the fallen tree and any potential hazards it poses. Emergency services and utility companies have trained professionals who are equipped to handle situations involving downed power lines safely and efficiently.
They'll dispatch a team to assess the situation, secure the area, and restore power as quickly as possible. It's crucial to refrain from attempting to address the issue yourself and to keep a safe distance from the fallen tree and any nearby power lines until help arrives.

First, we’ll thoroughly assess the tree, considering its size, condition, surrounding structures and foliage, and potential hazards.

Before we begin the removal, we’ll establish a clear work zone to facilitate the safety of our crew, your people, pets, and your property.

How Long Does It Take to Remove a Tree?
One of the most common questions we get asked is how long it takes to remove a tree. The answer varies based on a few factors.
For a standard tree removal of moderate to large size and accessibility, it typically takes anywhere from a few hours to a full day. However, larger trees located in challenging locations might require several days for safe and thorough extraction. Moreover, factors such as the tree’s height, width, health, proximity to structures or power lines, and the equipment needed can influence the timeline.
If you’re curious about timing, rest assured our experienced team thoroughly assesses each situation, providing an estimated timeframe that ensures efficiency and safety throughout the removal process.
Why Hiring Tree Removal Specialists Is Key to Your Safety

Certified Tree Professionals Give Insight Into Detecting a Diseased Tree
Identifying signs of tree disease is critical for appropriate intervention.
Based on our knowledge of tree biology and experience with failing trees, we’ve put together a list of some indicators to help you determine if you have a diseased tree:
- Leaf discoloration: Look for leaves that are yellowing, browning, or showing abnormal discoloration patterns, which may indicate nutrient deficiencies or fungal infections.
- Leaf abnormalities: Check for deformed, curled, or misshapen leaves. They can be signs of insect infestation or viral diseases.
- Leaf drop: Premature leaf drop, especially outside the normal seasonal patterns, can be a symptom of various tree diseases.
- Dead branches: Dead or decaying branches within the tree canopy could signify fungal infections or other diseases.
- Bark abnormalities: Inspect the tree's bark for peeling, cracking, or areas with unusual growths, like cankers or lesions, which can indicate disease or insect damage.
- Fungal growth: Look for mushrooms or fungal brackets on the trunk or near the tree’s base. These may indicate internal decay or root rot.
- Abnormal growth patterns: Examine the tree for stunted or excessive growth, including excessive sprouting or the development of galls or witches' brooms, which can be disease symptoms.
- Infestation signs: Keep an eye out for pests, like borers, beetles, or caterpillars. They can contribute to tree decline and disease development.

When Removing a Tree Makes Sense
Removing a tree may be necessary for several reasons, including:
- The tree is dead, diseased, or dying: A dead or diseased tree can pose a significant risk to people and property. Dead branches or limbs can fall off and cause damage to property or people, and the tree can fall unexpectedly.
- The tree is causing damage to property: Trees with invasive roots or branches can cause damage to structures or underground pipes. In such cases, removing the tree before it causes further damage is often best.
- The tree is blocking the view or sunlight: If the tree is obstructing the view from a property or blocking sunlight, removing it may be necessary.
- The tree is in the way of construction or development: When building a new structure or developing a property, the tree may need to be removed to make room for the construction.
- The tree is a safety hazard: If the tree is leaning dangerously, has a weak root system, or is located too close to power lines or other infrastructure, it may be a safety hazard that needs to be removed.
In general, removing a tree makes sense when it poses a significant risk to people and property or is necessary for development or construction.

Our Tree Cutting and Removal Process
With safety as our top priority, we follow a detailed process to ensure that our tree-cutting and removal services provide the safety and efficiency you deserve.
Here's how we can help:
- Inspection and assessment: Our arborists will conduct a thorough inspection and assessment of the tree and the surrounding area. We will look for signs of damage or disease, evaluate the tree's lean, and determine the best approach to removal.
- Safety preparation: Before we begin the removal process, we will take all necessary safety precautions. This includes ensuring the area is clear of people and objects, setting up safety equipment, and evaluating the surrounding terrain.
- Tree felling: Depending on the size and location of the tree, we will either climb the tree and cut it down in sections or use specialized equipment to safely fell the tree. Our arborists will work in teams to carefully cut and remove the tree in sections, using ropes and pulleys to control the direction of the fall.
- Limbing and bucking: Once the tree is felled, our team will remove the branches and limbs using specialized equipment. The trunk of the tree will be cut into manageable sections, known as bucking, which can be easily transported from the site.
- Site cleanup: Our team will conduct a thorough site cleanup once the tree is removed. This includes removing all debris and branches, grinding the stump if necessary, and raking the area to ensure it's clean and safe.
Throughout the process, our arborists will use the latest safety equipment and techniques to minimize risks to people, property, and the surrounding environment. If you have a dangerous tree on your property, contact us today for a consultation and quote.
Specialized Tree Cutting
Mature and towering trees add a certain appeal to your property, but in the blink of an eye, storm damage, disease, and other issues can turn an old friend into a dangerous foe.
In some cases, specialized tree cutting may be necessary in cases where the tree is:
- Overshadowing assets like your home, business, garage, driveway, or a neighboring property
- Growing near other trees that you'd like to preserve
- Threatening to intermingle with power lines and other wiring systems
- Growing in a cultivated or well-landscaped area where felling the tree could cause damage to the landscape
Our rope and pulley system is a technique that solves problems with trees in tight or complex locations. It involves using ropes and pulleys to control the direction of the tree's fall and to prevent damage to surrounding structures and vegetation.
We use the rope and pulley system in situations where the tree is located near buildings, power lines, or other structures that need to be protected. We also use it when the tree is too large or too dangerous to fall using traditional techniques, such as the straight cut and pull method.
To use the rope and pulley system, our arborist will first climb the tree and attach a series of ropes to the tree's upper branches. These ropes are then threaded through pulleys and connected to an anchor point, such as another tree or a truck. By carefully controlling the tension on the ropes, we can direct the tree's fall in a precise direction, away from any structures or obstacles.
Please be aware that our rope and pulley system is a highly specialized technique that requires extensive training and experience to use safely and effectively. It should only be used by licensed and certified arborists with the necessary equipment and expertise to ensure a safe and successful felling.
Tree Cutting Near Power Lines
Cutting trees near power lines requires caution, specialized equipment, and certified professionals to avoid electrical hazards. In emergency situations where trees or limbs are threatening or have fallen onto power lines, quick and safe action is critical to prevent further damage and restore safety.
Here at Big Dave's Tree Service, our team is trained in this specialized tree-cutting service. We follow stringent safety protocols to ensure that power lines are not damaged during the removal process and that risks to both people and property are minimized. Once the removal is complete, we’ll load and discard the tree appropriately so you can move forward with filling the hole.
Tree Removal Equipment for Dangerous Situations
Emergency tree removal in dangerous situations, such as when a tree has fallen onto a building or is leaning precariously, requires specialized equipment to safely manage the job.
To ensure the job gets done safely, we equip our team with the following:
- Chainsaws: Professional-grade chainsaws for cutting and sectioning trees
- Winches: Used for controlled pulling and lowering of trees or tree sections in dangerous or confined areas
- Trucks: For transporting large tree sections and debris off-site
- Protective gear: Helmets, harnesses, gloves, and chainsaw chaps to ensure worker safety during removal operations
- Pole Saws: For cutting high branches from the ground, reducing the need for climbing
Our team also has equipment to take care of the cleanup process. We use wood chippers for efficient processing and disposal of branches and smaller debris on-site. We also use stump grinders to remove stumps after the tree has been cut down, preventing trip hazards and restoring the landscape
No matter the situation, we’re ready to handle it with our industry knowledge, expertise, and advanced tree removal equipment. If you’re facing a dangerous emergency, we’re the team you can trust. Contact us today, and we’ll quickly dispatch our skilled arborists to provide prompt and reliable service.
