Specialized Solutions for Every Tree Removal Challenge

Every tree removal project presents unique challenges. That's why we offer specialized removal services to handle any situation safely and efficiently. Our comprehensive tree removal services include:

Standard Tree Removal

For trees in open areas with good access, our skilled climbers perform precise sectional dismantling, carefully removing the tree piece by piece. This controlled removal method is ideal for:

  • Healthy trees that need to be removed for construction or landscape changes

  • Trees up to 50 feet tall without major structural issues

  • Trees with adequate space for controlled dropping of sections

  • Locations where heavy equipment access isn't needed or possible

  • Trees away from structures and utilities

Our expert climbers use advanced rigging techniques and specialized equipment to systematically dismantle trees. Starting at the top, they remove outer branches first, cut larger branches into manageable sections, lower heavy pieces using ropes and rigging, remove the main trunk in sections, and cut the stump as close to ground level as possible.

Crane-Assisted Tree Removal

When trees are too large, damaged, or in locations where conventional removal methods aren't safe or practical, our crane-assisted removal service provides the perfect solution. This specialized technique allows us to safely remove trees that would be extremely difficult or impossible to take down using standard climbing methods, such as:

  • Large trees over structures

  • Storm-damaged or unstable trees

  • Trees in confined spaces

  • Dead or dying trees that are unsafe to climb

  • Locations where dropping sections isn't possible

  • Trees requiring removal in sensitive landscapes

Our experienced crane operators and ISA Certified Arborist work together to carefully plan each lift, ensuring your property is protected while the tree is safely removed section by section. The crane's ability to lift large portions of the tree and move them to a safe processing area means less impact on your landscape and faster completion times.

Robotic Tree Removal

With robotic tree removal, we can remove trees without having a climber in the tree at all. Our team uses a remote control to direct our crane to cut pieces of the tree and then safely lower them to the ground. Not only does this keep our team safe, but it also decreases the risk of any damage to your property. Some of the trees we may use robotic tree removal for include:

  • Dangerous or unstable trees

  • Dead trees

  • Trees in areas that aren’t easy to access

  • Trees near buildings

One of the biggest advantages of robotic tree removal is the speed at which we can complete the job. Once we set the system up, the machine makes short work of the tree and the cleanup. Best of all for you, the speed allows us to provide you with cheaper rates and better estimates.

Stump Grinding After Tree Removal

Quick Removal of Stumps and Surface Roots

Tree removal stops at ground level, but stumps can cause future issues. Most homeowners remove them to keep their property safe, clean, and usable.

Create tripping hazards

Attract insects that could damage other trees and structures

Produce unsightly sprouts that keep trying to regrow

Take up valuable yard space

Interfere with mowing and landscape maintenance

Create obstacles for future construction or hardscaping

Impact property value and curb appeal

Our Stump Grinding Process

We use professional stump grinders to remove stumps 12–18 inches below ground, turning them into mulch. The process is quick, clean, and leaves your yard ready for new grass or landscaping.

  • Thorough & Professional

    "I hired Belgian Tree Service to remove three large trees on my property (which required the use of a crane due to their size).

Patrick and his team were thorough, professional, and completed the job in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend Belgian Tree Service to anyone looking to have any type tree work done."
