What happens if a tree falls and damages my property during service?

This is exactly why we maintain comprehensive general liability insurance on every job.

In the extremely unlikely event that damage occurs, our insurance covers it completely, so you’re never liable for unexpected costs. Your property safety is our top priority on every removal.

How long does a typical tree removal or pruning take?

Most standard tree removals take one to three days depending on tree size, proximity to structures, and site access. Pruning and trimming jobs are typically completed in a single day. For White Lake properties with multiple trees or complex storm damage removal, we’ll provide a realistic timeline during your estimate so you know exactly how long to expect crews on your property. We respect your time and schedule and will keep disruption to your home and landscaping minimal.

Do I need to be home while your team is working on my trees?
