Safety & Value
Why Tree Services Matter
Trees are a long-term investment in your property’s safety, curb appeal, and environmental value. Left unmanaged, trees can present hazards such as falling limbs, roots that damage foundations or sidewalks, and disease that spreads to neighboring plantings.
Conversely, properly maintained trees increase property value, improve energy efficiency by shading buildings, and support local ecosystems. Professional tree services ensure that work is done safely, preserves tree health when possible, and protects your property and loved ones.

What to Expect
How Chips Tree and Landscape Can Help
Our goal is to make tree care predictable, safe, and affordable for homeowners and business owners. Here’s how we approach each job:
assessment
We begin with a thorough on-site evaluation to identify hazards, disease, structural issues, and options for preservation or removal. This includes canopy checks, root assessments, and evaluating conflicts with utilities or structures.
written proposal
You receive a clear written estimate outlining scope, timeline, equipment, crew size, and disposal plan. We explain safety measures and the reasons for recommended actions.
Professional execution
Our crews use hydraulically powered equipment, bucket trucks, cranes when necessary, and rope-and-pulley rigging for controlled removals in tight or sensitive areas. We minimize disruption to lawns and property.
Clean-up and restoration
We remove debris, grind stumps if requested, and leave your property ready for replanting or landscape improvements. Wood that is usable is offered back as firewood or chipped for mulch at your request.
qa & handover
After major work, we provide advice on aftercare, such as pruning schedules, fertilization, or pest control recommendations to protect your investment.

Yes. We offer free on-site estimates for most projects. For complex jobs such as crane-assisted removals, we may schedule a detailed assessment.
Are you insured and licensed?
Yes. Chips Tree and Landscape carries full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. We comply with local licensing requirements.
How do you determine whether a tree can be saved?
We evaluate the tree’s structural stability, disease presence, root health, and growth patterns. If the issues are addressable with pruning or treatment, we’ll recommend those options. If the tree poses immediate risk or is beyond recovery, we’ll recommend removal.
What happens to the wood and debris?
We chip branches and can haul away debris or leave wood as cut firewood on request. We prioritize recycling and reuse when possible.
How much does tree removal cost?
Costs vary widely depending on tree size, location, complexity, and whether stump grinding is included. After an on-site evaluation, we provide a written estimate.
Do you handle permits?
If municipal permits are required for street trees, protected species, or significant removals, we can advise on the process and help secure what’s necessary or coordinate with property owners.
