“Going above and beyond.”

"I highly recommend this company for tree removal. Very professional, on time, and did amazing work. Not to mention going above and beyond. They came two days early to cut down some trees and had me review the area after they were done. They did an amazing clean up, and also came back with dirt to fill the area where stumps were."

Resources 

Tree care, whether done by you or your tree service company, isn’t a straight-forward case of following a set schedule for what to do and when to do it. Changing weather patterns, unexpected storms, the introduction of new (and destructive!) insects and diseases to the Cedar Rapids area, and a host of other factors all affect how and when proper tree care is performed. 

That’s why we provide a range of helpful tree care resources for Cedar Rapids residents, from seasonal tips to monthly blog articles, FAQs, fact sheets, and a timely email newsletter (you won’t want to miss an issue so get on the distribution list today!).

A Certified Arborist is a tree care expert with at least three years of experience who has passed a tough exam. This exam covers all aspects of tree care. Certified Arborists have the knowledge and skills to properly care for your trees. They can spot and treat tree health issues and follow the best safety practices. We're proud to have 30 ISA Certified Arborists and 1 Board Certified Master Arborist on our team.

Yes, we are fully insured in all our locations. We have worker's compensation for all employees and liability insurance specifically for tree work.

We prefer to give estimates in person. Every tree and property are different, so it's best to see the trees and the area before giving an accurate quote.

We like to meet you in person if possible. We enjoy getting to know our customers and ensuring we fully understand their needs and concerns. This also lets you ask questions and allows us to explain our suggestions. But if you can't be there, we can do a contactless visit to make it convenient for you.

Although it’s great if you can be around for a pre-job walkthrough, and to make sure you’re happy at the end of the project, you don't need to be home unless we say otherwise or if we need access to a locked area. Our crew will have all the details about the job, including pictures of the trees taken during the initial consultation. 

Yes, we work year-round. Many tree jobs are best done in winter when trees are dormant. But like any time of year, we only work when it's safe. We'll let you know right away if we need to reschedule due to weather. 

Do you offer financing? Yes, we offer financing options through GreenSky. You can find more information about this on our Financing page.
