Tree Removal: Why it’s important

Trees add beauty and value to our properties, but sometimes they need to be removed. At Idaho Falls Tree Service, we understand that tree removal can be a tough decision, but it’s often necessary for safety and landscape management. Whether you’re dealing with a diseased tree or one that’s grown too close to your home, we’re here to help.

Understanding Tree Removal

What is Tree Removal?

Tree removal involves cutting down a tree and removing it from your property. It might sound straightforward, but it requires careful planning and professional execution to ensure safety and efficiency. Removing a tree isn’t just about chopping it down—it’s about doing it in a way that protects your property and the surrounding environment.

Reasons for Tree Removal

Why would you need to remove a tree? There are several reasons. Perhaps the tree is dead or dying, posing a risk to your home. Maybe it’s growing too close to power lines, or it’s causing damage to your foundation with its roots. Sometimes, trees need to be removed to make way for new construction or landscaping projects.

The Removal Process

Initial Assessment

When we first visit your property, we conduct a thorough assessment. We look at the tree’s health, its location, and any potential hazards. This helps us determine the best approach for removal and ensures we’re prepared for any challenges.

Removal Techniques

Depending on the tree’s size and location, we might use different techniques. Smaller trees can be removed in one piece, while larger trees are often taken down in sections to avoid damage to your property. We use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the job is done safely and efficiently.

Cleanup and Disposal

Once the tree is down, we don’t just leave you with a mess. We take care of the cleanup, removing all debris and, if you choose, grinding the stump to leave your yard looking neat and tidy.

What are the Costs?

Factors Influencing Cost

The cost of tree removal can vary widely. Factors that affect the price include the size of the tree, its location, and the complexity of the job. Trees that are close to buildings or power lines, for example, require more careful removal and therefore cost more.

Average Cost in Idaho Falls

In Idaho Falls, you can expect to pay between $200 and $1,500 for tree removal. Smaller trees on open ground are on the lower end of the scale, while larger trees in tricky locations will cost more. We offer free estimates to give you a clear idea of what the job will cost before we start.

DIY vs. Professional Removal

Why Not DIY?

You might be tempted to remove a tree yourself to save money, but it’s not a good idea. Tree removal is dangerous and requires specialized equipment and expertise. A misstep could damage your property or result in serious injury. Trusting professionals ensures the job is done safely and correctly.

Benefits of Hiring Professionals
