Tree removal and trimming around your home.
Dead, dangerous and unwanted trees come down in controlled pieces, set on ground mats to protect the yard. Pruning, stump grinding and arborist advice from an ISA Certified Arborist.
Help you make the right call for your trees
Every tree is different. Some only need routine care to stay healthy for decades. Others become dangerous from disease, storm damage, insects or structural decline.
Shawn Kuiper is an ISA Certified Arborist (IN-3378A). We evaluate the tree, explain the options and recommend the safest solution. Sometimes that means keeping a healthy tree. Sometimes removal is the responsible choice.
What we do around homes
- Tree removal. Dead, damaged, hazardous or unwanted trees, removed in sections and lowered away from the house.
- Crane and grapple saw work. Big trees in tight spaces are cut, held and set down piece by piece, so nothing drops on the roof, fence or lawn.
- Pruning and trimming. Dead, damaged or problem branches removed to improve health, safety, clearance and structure.
- Stump grinding. Stumps ground below ground level so you can use the space again.
- Tree health treatments. Not every struggling tree needs to come down. KVM employs a Certified Pesticide Applicator and offers treatment when it makes sense.
- Arborist consultations. Sometimes the first step is knowing what is going on with a tree.
What a residential proposal spells out
Your written proposal lists exactly what is included. In the sample residential proposal, for example, KVM takes the tree down in sections, runs the branches through the chipper and hauls the chips away, cuts the logs to firewood length and stacks them near the tree, and grinds the stump about 6 to 8 inches below ground level with the grindings raked back into the hole.
It also says what is not included, like hauling logs, backfill, topsoil or seeding, so there are no surprises. See how we quote.
