Tree Service in Providence, RI

Tree removal and trimming for the trees on Providence-area lots that have grown into the house, the wires or the neighbor's yard.

Based in Providence, RI●★★★★★ 5.0 Rated in Providence

A tree service in Providence works in tight quarters. Many city lots are narrow, houses sit close together, and mature trees grow right over roofs, driveways and utility lines. A tree that would simply be felled on an open property has to be taken down in pieces, lowered under control and kept clear of everything underneath it.

Rhode Island weather adds to the work. Nor'easters, summer thunderstorms and the occasional hurricane remnant load branches with wind and water, and trees that were weakened by rot, a split trunk or a crowded root zone are the ones that come down. The calls we get are usually about a tree that has finally shown it is a problem: a dead top, a lean, or limbs over the house.

We handle two jobs: taking trees down when they need to go, and trimming them back when they can stay. Which one you need is often the first question to settle, and we will give you an honest view of it.

What to Look For in Tree Work

Think about what is under the tree before you think about the tree. A removal over a roof, a fence or a wire is a different job from one in an open yard, and the plan for how pieces will be lowered and where they will land should be explained to you before the first cut.

A tree that is dead, split, leaning more than it used to, or dropping large limbs in calm weather is a hazard worth dealing with before the next storm, not after it.

We work out of Providence and know how tight many of the lots in the city and the neighboring towns are. We take care of cleanup as part of the job, so you are not left with a yard full of brush.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if a tree should come down or can be trimmed?

A tree with a dead top, a cracked or hollow trunk, or a clear lean toward the house is usually a removal. A healthy tree with limbs over the roof or driveway can often just be trimmed back. We will look at it and tell you which.

Is fall or winter a good time for tree work?

Yes. Once the leaves are down it is easier to see the structure of the tree, and most trimming is best done while the tree is dormant. Removals can be done any time of year.

Will you take the wood and brush away?

Ask when you call so the quote spells out exactly what is included, from hauling the brush to what happens to the larger logs.

Can you work on a tree close to the house or power lines?

Trees near structures and wires are the hardest jobs, and some need more than a standard crew. Call us and we will look at it before anyone commits to a plan.

Do you give free quotes for tree work?

Yes. Send the details and a few photos, or call, and we will arrange a look at the tree.
