      Removal

       

  • When needed, we perform complete removal of trees that are dangerous, dead, or in an area where they can cause damage, including trees near homes or other structures.  Trees can be taken down without damaging structures, driveways, or the landscape plants around them.  Many tree removal methods are available: cutting into small pieces, lowering with ropes or slide lining, lifting off with boom truck or crane.

 
“When Great Trees Fall" - Maya Angelou

When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.
 
When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.
When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.
