When to Remove a Tree
As a locally trusted team of tree care experts, we always aim to save trees when possible. However, removal is sometimes the best option for the health and safety of your landscape. Here are some key signs that a tree might need to be removed:
Severe storm damage that has compromised the tree's structure
Advanced decay or disease that has weakened the tree beyond recovery
Sudden leaning or structural instability that poses a risk of falling
Interference with buildings, walkways, or driveways
Root disturbance to hardscapes or underground utilities
Overcrowding that harms the health and growth of nearby trees
Preparation for new construction or landscaping projects
If you're unsure whether a tree needs to be removed, our arborists can provide expert advice during an on-site inspection. In some cases, pruning, structural support, or other tree preservation techniques might be a good alternative to removal.

Our Tree Removal Process
What to Expect When You Hire Us
Initial Assessment
We start with a thorough evaluation of the tree and surrounding area to develop a safe removal plan. Our arborists consider factors like the tree's size, health, location, and access to determine the best approach.
Safety Preparation
Our team sets up protective measures to safeguard your property during the removal process, while also setting up a staging area to handle debris. This includes placing protective mats on lawns to protect it from heavy equipment.
Precise Cutting
Using advanced techniques and equipment, we carefully dismantle the tree section by section. For larger trees, we may use rope systems or cranes to safely lower branches and trunk sections.
Efficient Hauling
We remove all large debris from your property, leaving it clean and tidy. Our team uses chippers to process smaller branches on-site, while larger sections are hauled away for proper recycling and disposal.
Optional Stump Grinding
If desired, we can grind the remaining stump below ground level. This process eliminates the stump and roots, allowing you to reclaim the space for new plantings or landscaping. Stump grinding often happens a few days or weeks after removal.
Using the Most Advanced Equipment for Safe Tree Removals
At Advantage Tree Services we use the latest technology and equipment to ensure every tree removal is done safely and efficiently:
Specialized cranes for large or hard-to-reach trees
Compact lifts to elevate our team when climbing is unsafe
Powerful chippers to process debris on-site
High-quality climbing and rigging gear
Forestry trucks with buckets for elevated work
Our investment in top-notch equipment allows us to handle any tree removal job in Davenport, no matter how big or complex.
