The Benefits of Tree Removal
Tree removal is key to maintaining safe and healthy outdoor spaces. It prevents hazards, boosts aesthetics, and supports local ecosystems. From safeguarding against hazards to improving views and promoting biodiversity, its impact extends far beyond mere landscaping.
Hazard Mitigation
Dead, diseased, or structurally compromised trees pose significant safety hazards. Removing such trees helps prevent accidents, property damage, and personal injury caused by falling branches or entire trees.
Property Protection
Trees located too close to buildings, power lines, or other structures can pose risks of damage during storms or high winds. Removing these trees reduces the likelihood of property damage and costly repairs.
Landscaping Renovation
Removing unwanted or overgrown trees can enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your landscape. It creates space for new plantings, outdoor living areas, or other landscaping features, allowing you to design your outdoor space according to your preferences.
Disease and Pest Control
Infected trees can spread diseases to nearby trees or attract pests, jeopardizing the health of your entire landscape. Removing diseased or pest-infested trees helps prevent the spread of pathogens and protects the overall health of your trees and plants.
Construction and Development
Trees may need to be removed to make way for new construction projects, roadways, or infrastructure developments. Professional tree removal ensures that trees are safely and efficiently cleared to accommodate these projects while minimizing environmental impact.
Utility Line Clearance
Trees growing too close to power lines can pose a risk of electrical hazards, such as power outages or fires. Removing these trees ensures safe clearance around utility lines, enhancing the reliability and safety of the electrical grid.
Improved Sunlight and Air Circulation
Overgrown trees can block sunlight and airflow, inhibiting the growth of other plants and promoting mold or mildew growth. Removing obstructive trees allows sunlight to reach plants below and improves air circulation, promoting overall plant health.
Preventing Foundation Damage
Tree roots extend significantly beneath the ground’s surface, possibly causing damage to your home or building’s foundations, driveways, sidewalks, underground pipes, and more. Removing trees with invasive root systems helps prevent costly structural damage and maintains the integrity of your property's infrastructure.
Mitigating Fire Risks
Dead or dry trees can become fuel for wildfires, especially during hot and dry seasons. Removing these trees reduces the risk of fire spreading to nearby structures or forests, enhancing overall fire safety in the area.
Environmental Restoration
Invasive or non-native tree species can outcompete native vegetation and disrupt local ecosystems. Removing invasive trees helps restore biodiversity and promotes the health of native plant and animal species in natural habitats.
Enhancing Views
Tree removal can improve scenic views from your property, whether it's of natural landscapes, city skylines, or waterfronts. Opening up sightlines enhances property value and allows you to enjoy more expansive views from your home or outdoor living areas.
Cost of Tree Removal Services in Columbus Ohio
Every tree in your yard is different and we have to take into account all of the details to properly price our services. Our tree service professionals will come out to your home and inspect the property for a variety of factors to put together your estimate:
Type of tree and size
The larger the tree, the more time it's going to take to cut it down and may require different equipment. Additionally, some trees like Oaks are stronger when healthy and tougher to cut down compared to a dead pine tree that's easier.
Location of the tree and vehicle access
If your home has a fenced in yard, we may not be able to park our truck where needed or we may have to use alternate machinery that's smaller to fit through your fencing.
Safety concerns
If your tree is near powerlines, a pool, or other structures, we may have to stage our tree cutting to avoid damaging any of your property or utilities.
Your desired requests
Some customers ask to retain the wood or woodchips. Depending on the situation, we can accommodate or haul a certain percentage away.
Project timing and scheduling
Every tree removal project is different based on number of factors. Our team will give you an estimate of the project completion upon inspection of the site. For emergency tree removal services, our team will address the situation immediately to eliminate further risks.

Tree Removal FAQs
Will my homeowners insurance cover preventative tree removal?
Homeowners insurance typically does not cover preventative tree removal.
In addition, if you do not remove dead, rotting, leaning, or dangerous trees and said tree then falls on your home/property, that could be considered negligence. You will want to contact your insurance company for more specific details.
Who is responsible for a fallen tree removal?
Generally speaking, you are responsible for everything on your property.
In the case of a fallen tree, as long as the tree was in good health and was not diseased or rotting, the property where the tree landed, that homeowner is typically responsible.
If the tree was rotting, diseased, or dangerous, it could be considered negligence and the property where the tree came from (location of the stump), that owner could be liable.
If the fallen tree does not hit your home, insurance typically will not pay anything for removing the tree.
If the tree damages your home, your homeowners insurance will typically cover the cost of repairing any damages, in addition to paying for removal of the tree. How much they'll pay is dependent on your insurance.
If you have trees near your property line, we highly recommend consulting with your insurance company to be prepared for or avoid any future complications.
Who is liable for tree root damage?
Similar to the questions above, you are still responsible for the tree roots on your property, even if the tree trunk is on your neighbor's property. In a situation like this, we would recommend having a conversation with your neighbor, proving the damage, and collaborating to decide whether or not to remove the tree or not. Again, review your insurance documents thoroughly as well.
How to level the ground or repair your lawn after tree removal?
After a tree is removed and the stump is ground up, we will shovel and rake the area flat, making it fairly level. In some situations, we will replace the area with wood chips or the area can be filled in with dirt. We do not plant grass or fertilize damaged areas if that is desired.
