We have just had two maples removed by General Tree and they did a fantastic job. Both trees were diseased and rotting and they felled them safely and quickly. Excellent cleanup and communications.

Have used them before and will use them again.

Who to Call for Tree Removal
There are a lot of imposters out there that advertise tree removal services. What sets General Tree Service apart is that we are trained and certified for the safe removal of a tree in any circumstances. Tree removal is a job that routinely puts workers' and customers’ property in danger. When uncertified companies are used, there is nothing to protect the customer in the event of a worker being injured or property damage.
Whether a large tree needs to be removed from near a home with established landscaping or a new lot needs to be cleared for construction, General Tree Service has the tools and skills to safely accomplish the job. We always work hard to prevent property damage and preserve the surrounding landscape to minimize our impacts. Our customers can expect our teams to safely and completely handle every job from start to finish.
Tree Pruning Keeps Trees Healthy
One of the misconceptions about trees is that they can commonly grow in ways that are detrimental to their own health. When trees are allowed to overgrow, sunlight can’t penetrate the canopy and air can’t circulate near the trunk of the tree. Both of these problems contribute to fungal growth and insect infestations that can lead to the death of the tree.
Tree pruning is a service that is aimed at keeping the tree healthy by reducing unhealthy growth. During pruning, unnecessary growth and dead branches are trimmed out from the tree. When trees are correctly pruned over the course of several years, the results are stark. The tree will grow much more vigorously and display fewer problems like weak foliation and unstable growth.
The teams at General Tree Service are ready to help your trees reach their full potential with seasonal tree trimming and pruning. Whether you have a few trees that need attention or a full orchard, our crews can tackle any sized job.
Why is Stump Removal Beneficial?
Stumps are the only thing that is left over after a tree removal. Stumps are unsightly and when left to nature, they can take years to fully disappear. Consequently, all of the natural forces that contribute to the stump rotting, like fungus and termites, can also move into the wood that supports your home or business. Doesn't it make sense to keep these things as far away as possible?
Stump grinding is a service we offer that takes just a few minutes. When stump grinding is done:
- Homeowners don’t have to stare at ugly stumps
- The area can be restored into the landscape quickly
- Habitat is denied from wood-eating insects and rotting fungus
- Regrowth from the stump isn’t a problem
Let us finish the job that others leave behind. General Tree Service has the equipment to deal with your stumps immediately.
Arborists are Experts in Tree Health
Some people think it’s backwards that an industry known for cutting down trees is also the most qualified for keeping trees healthy. The reason arborists are known for tree removals is simply that they are trained to perform them safely. In reality, a certified arborist is trained and skilled at keeping trees healthy in every stage of their life.
Every arborist has a proven track record of formal education and on-the-job experience. Some of the strategies they use to maximize the health of trees are:
- Species selection based on different factors at the planting site
- Fertilization recommendations
- Disease identification including Anthracnose and Leaf Spot on Willows and Ash Trees
- Pest identification like Lac Bugs and Bronze Birch Borers
- Soil management and mulching
At General Tree Service we are owned and operated by certified arborists with more on staff. Every job is managed to the highest levels of excellence so that your trees can thrive for generations.
How to React When Emergency Tree Services are Needed
Tree emergencies can happen at unexpected times, usually during a weather-related event. When bad weather is coupled with a large limb that has fallen on a home or a tree that has taken out power lines, the situation is stressful and the stress can make people forget how to react. Here are the steps to take in a tree emergency:
- Document the time and take pictures for insurance purposes
- Stay far away from downed power lines and call the utility company
- Find a safe place away from downed limbs or trees
- Never try to remove limbs yourself– downed trees can be unpredictable
- Call General Tree Service
At General Tree Service, our teams are on call to help you in times of stress. We have experience dealing with utility companies and insurance companies to help you get back to normal faster.
