Tree Removal with Safety and Precision

Tight backyards, shared fences, and trees near roofs are common in Layton. We begin with a risk assessment, checking for decay, canopy imbalance, root plate movement, and overhead utilities, then choose the safest removal method, from sectional dismantling to crane-assisted removals when access is limited. Brush is chipped on-site, logs can be cut to requested lengths, and we offer same‑day stump grinding for a clean finish.

Tree Trimming That Strengthens Trees

Quality trimming reduces storm damage and supports long-term health:

• Crown cleaning: Remove dead, diseased, and rubbing branches to improve structure.

• Crown thinning: Increase airflow and light, reducing wind sail during lake-effect gusts.

• Clearance pruning: Lift branches off roofs, sidewalks, driveways, and service drops for safety and compliance.

• Seasonal timing: Layton’s maples, fruit trees, and conifers benefit from species-aware schedules to minimize stress and pest pressure. Clients often notice fewer winter breaks and better spring growth after professional tree trimming.

Stump Grinding and Complete Stump Removal

Old stumps attract pests and complicate mowing and replanting. Our stump grinding goes below grade so you can re‑sod, install garden beds, or add hardscape. We locate utilities beforehand, can chase lateral roots as requested, and backfill with mulch or topsoil. If you want the entire root mass gone, we also perform full stump removal with excavation and haul‑off.

Accurate Tree Diagnosis by a Certified Arborist

If a tree shows yellowing leaves, dieback, or bark issues, our certified arborist provides precise tree diagnosis. In Layton, we frequently see iron chlorosis in maples, aphid and scale pressure on ornamentals, and root stress tied to compacted soils or irrigation patterns. Recommendations may include corrective pruning, soil amendments, watering adjustments, mulching, cabling/bracing, or removal only when it’s the safest choice.

Storm Prep and Emergency Response

Davis County winds can expose weak unions and overextended limbs. We offer pre‑storm risk assessments, weight‑reduction pruning, and rapid post‑storm cleanup. Call us if you notice heaving soil at the base, cracked branch unions, fresh splits, or a sudden lean.
