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.

What to Expect During Your Tree Removal

Our Proven Process for Safe, Efficient Tree Removal

1

Initial Consultation and Assessment

When you contact Belgian Tree Service, we'll first visit your property to thoroughly examine the tree and surrounding area. During this visit, we identify any potential obstacles or challenges, discuss your preferences for the removal process, and review options for wood and debris disposal. You'll receive a detailed written estimate that clearly outlines the scope of work. We'll explain any permit requirements and answer all your questions to ensure you feel confident about the process.

2

Pre-Work Planning

After you approve the estimate, we handle all the preliminary details. Our team schedules your removal at a convenient time within our regular business hours. If permits are required, we manage the application process. For trees near utilities, we coordinate with the appropriate utility companies. We're also happy to provide any documentation your HOA might require.

3

Property Protection

Your property's safety is our priority. Our crew arrives prepared with protective barriers and coverings for sensitive areas. We carefully identify and mark irrigation components and landscape lighting. Before any equipment moves onto your property, we document existing conditions and establish clear safety perimeters to protect your home and landscape.

4

Removal Day

On the scheduled day, our professional crew arrives during the agreed-upon time window. If you’re home, the crew leader reviews the removal plan with you and answers any last-minute questions. We then set up our equipment and safety zones according to industry standards. Throughout the removal process, we maintain clear communication about our progress and ensure the work site stays safe and organized.

5

Cleanup and Final Inspection

After the tree is removed, our thorough cleanup process begins. We process branches through our chipper and handle the wood according to your preferences. Our crew performs a comprehensive cleanup, including raking the area to remove small debris. Once cleanup is complete, we conduct a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets your expectations.

HOA and Historic District Requirements

If your property is governed by an HOA or located in a historic district, additional approvals may be needed. We're familiar with these requirements and can provide the documentation these organizations typically request. Let us know during your initial consultation if you need HOA approval, and we'll prepare the appropriate materials.

Stump Grinding After Tree Removal

Quick Removal of Stumps and Surface Roots

While tree removal ends at ground level, the remaining stump can create ongoing challenges for your property. Most homeowners choose to remove stumps because they:

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

At Belgian Tree Service, we use professional-grade stump grinding equipment to remove stumps efficiently. Our powerful grinders turn the stump and visible roots into wood chips, typically grinding 12-18 inches below ground level. This process eliminates the stump while minimizing disruption to your yard.

The grinding process is quick and clean, usually taking 30-60 minutes per stump depending on size. We rake the resulting wood chips level with the surrounding soil, creating a clean area ready for new grass, plants, or landscaping.
