Professional Tree Removal Services in Omaha, NE
Removing trees is sometimes necessary to maintain property safety and aesthetics. Tree removal is often needed in residential areas due to various factors including fallen trees caused by storms or decay. Most trees have a lifespan and with age can start to decline. Although no two trees are alike, a tree’s lifespan can be affected by how the tree was planted, where it is planted, storms, pests, and disease. A skilled tree removal specialist in Omaha can assess the condition of trees and recommend the best course of action, whether it requires complete tree removal or hazardous tree limb removal to maintain safety.
Large, dead trees can become unstable over time, leading to dangerous situations that demand immediate attention. Delaying the removal may lead to higher costs, especially for large tree removal projects that may require specialized equipment. Regular tree maintenance, including trimming, can help extend tree life and minimize removal costs. Emergency tree removal services are available for storm-damaged, fallen, or dangerously leaning trees that require immediate attention.
Our Omaha Tree Removal Services – What to Expect
Removing trees in most urban and suburban environments presents challenges due to nearby buildings, power lines or plant life. Large tree cutting requires careful piecing out and lowering done by licensed/insured tree service professionals. Tree Service of Omaha operates state-of-the-art machinery to guarantee safety and precision during every tree removal project.
Our tree cutting services follow a structured approach:
- Safe and precise cutting to minimize property impact
- Branch and tree limb removal and chipping for easy disposal
- Large tree removal with controlled lowering to prevent damage
- Cutting large wood sections into manageable 20” logs
- Tree disposal services, including haul-away or optional firewood stacking
The equipment used for tree trimming and removal is determined by the conditions on your landscape, branch arrangement, and the hardiness of your tree. Typical tree removal includes cutting down a tree, chipping all of the limbs, cutting all big wood into 20″ logs, and cutting the stumps as close as possible to the ground. Stumps are cut as close to the ground as possible. We handle complete tree debris removal, including hauling brush, wood chips, and logs unless otherwise stated. If you desire logs for firewood or wood chips from your tree removal, we can leave them for you free of charge (stacked logs and chips in a neat pile).
Budget-friendly options are available, including our Drop No Haul tree removal service. This cost-effective solution is to get the tree safely to the ground. This particular service does not include any hauling, cutting up, moving, or clean up (unless otherwise stated on the quote). This is a great option for customers who want to save some extra money or use the debris for other purposes. We may not be able to offer this option on all removals due to tight spaces and other circumstances. Availability depends on space constraints and project conditions. A professional tree hazard assessment can determine the best removal method for your property.
When Should You Remove a Tree?
Tree removal isn’t always an easy decision, but there are clear situations where it’s the safest and most responsible option. Trees that are structurally compromised, diseased beyond recovery, or posing a risk to property often require prompt attention.
Some signs it’s time to consider tree removal include:
Severe Leaning or Cracks:
Trees that lean heavily or have large vertical cracks in the trunk can be at risk of falling, especially after heavy winds or storms.
Root Damage:
Uplifted soil around the base or visible root decay may indicate that the tree’s foundation is no longer secure.
Large Dead Branches
Extensive deadwood or thinning at the crown can suggest a tree is in decline and may not recover.
Pest Infestations:
Trees infested by aggressive pests like the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) can deteriorate quickly. If you suspect an ash tree on your property is infested, removal may be necessary if treatment is no longer effective.
Storm Damage or Fallen Trees:
Trees that have been struck by lightning, hit by high winds, or have already fallen pose immediate hazards and should be assessed by a professional.
Early evaluation by a certified arborist can help you understand whether removal is needed or if the tree can still be saved. Addressing tree hazards early can prevent costly damage and ensure the safety of your home and surroundings.
Lawn Impact
Tree Services of Omaha prepares work zones, such as laying plywood, to minimize the impact onto lawns from equipment and manpower. However, some minor indents and patches may occur and cannot be prevented. The machinery that we have is heavy and both warm weather and rain contribute to the post-tree work impact. Winter tree removal can help lessen impact since frozen ground provides a firmer work surface. In most cases, these lawn impressions are barely noticeable. However, there are cases where the damage needs time to return to its original state. Most lawns recover naturally over time, but noticeable effects may occur in some cases. Unless clear negligence is present, minor impressions are not considered the responsibility of the tree removal company.
