Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions we get, to help you understand our process and why we’re the right choice for your tree care needs.How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?
You might need a tree removed if it’s dead, badly diseased, leaning dangerously, or if it’s been seriously damaged by a storm. Sometimes, roots can even start to affect your home’s foundation, or a tree might just be in the way of a new project. We always recommend getting a professional opinion. Our team can assess your tree’s health and stability, providing an honest recommendation on the best way forward.
What's the difference between trimming, pruning, and limbing?
While people often use these words interchangeably, they actually mean slightly different things. Trimming is usually about shaping a tree to look nice or keeping branches away from buildings. Pruning is a more careful process focused on the tree’s overall health and strength—like removing dead or crossing branches to help it grow better. Limbing specifically means taking off larger branches from the main trunk, often to give you more clearance underneath or to reduce the tree’s size. All these practices are crucial for a healthy, safe tree, and our team knows exactly which technique to use.
Do you just remove trees, or do you also handle stumps?
Yes, we offer stump grinding services in addition to tree removal. While we can certainly cut a tree down and leave the stump, most folks prefer to have that stump ground away. It eliminates tripping hazards, prevents new growth, and clears the space for planting new grass, landscaping, or starting a new project. It’s the cleanest way to finish the job.
How long does it typically take to remove a tree?
The time it takes depends on several factors, including the size of the tree, its location (near power lines or your house), the type of tree, and whether it’s unhealthy or damaged. A small, easy-to-reach tree might only take a couple of hours, but a big or complicated removal could easily take a full day or even longer. We always put safety and efficiency first, and we’ll give you a clear idea of the timeline when we provide your free estimate.
Are you insured?
Yes, completely. Carlson’s Tree Service is fully licensed and insured for all our tree care work. This is super important for both your protection and ours. It means you can relax knowing that you and your property are covered, even in the improbable event of an accident. We’re always happy to show you proof of insurance if you’d like.
