TREE TAKE DOWN
& REMOVAL

Whether it’s dead, diseased, leaning, or just too close to your home, we remove trees safely and efficiently using proper rigging and professional equipment. We’re experienced with complex removals and hard-to-reach trees—including those near structures or power lines.

Pruning & Crown Thinning

Regular pruning keeps your trees healthy, strong, and attractive. We remove dead or overgrown limbs, open up crowded canopies, and reduce risk during storms. Our crown thinning techniques improve airflow and light penetration without over-pruning.

Storm Damage
Cleanup

When trees fall or break during storms, quick action matters. We provide fast, professional cleanup—removing hazardous limbs, clearing blocked access, and preventing further damage.

Stump Grinding
& Removal

Tree gone but the stump remains? We’ll grind it down below the surface so you can reclaim your yard. No more eyesores, tripping hazards, or insect nests. We handle single or multiple stumps, even in tight spaces.

Specialized Climbing Services

We go where machines can’t. Using rope and rigging techniques, we remove or trim trees in sensitive areas—gardens, shorelines, or properties where heavy equipment would cause damage. Less disruption, more precision.

Shoreland Zone Planning & Execution

Tree work near lakes, rivers, or wetlands comes with strict rules. We know how to work within Shoreland Zone regulations while still getting the job done. With years of experience and strong relationships with local regulators, we help homeowners stay compliant and get results.

What they are saying about us

10 out of 10. Will continue to use them for all our tree management needs. Highly recommend."

"If you want to hire a professional for any kind of tree service, including removal, please read on... I hired Joel Philbrook and Precision Tree to remove trees leaning over my building at a 45-degree angle. He expertly used ropes and pulleys to fell them opposite their natural lean—it was awesome to watch. As a Registered Professional Forester, I recognize true skill, and Joel is a professional in every sense. Whether using a bucket truck, climbing, or manual felling, he gets the job done safely and responsibly. If you want a clean, professional job, he’s the man to hire."
