Services We Provide

High-Risk Tree Removal

Tree removal is a dangerous job. If the tree is located near a power line, an inexperienced person attempting to remove it might cause power outages to their entire neighborhood or even electrocute themselves. It’s even more dangerous if you don’t have the tools and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Tree decay is another concern. Rotting wood will make the tree unstable and it could fall in unexpected ways, possibly harming you or landing on your house.

What’s the safest way to remove a tree from your property? Call Mike Forrest Tree Service! If a tree is close to a power line, leaning on your roof, or has lost some of its structural integrity, our technicians can help.

Storm Damage Restoration

When your home or property has been ravaged by a bad storm, the results can be overwhelming. High winds, flash flooding, heavy rain, and lightning strikes can all cause a lot of damage. Trees could fall on your house damaging the gutters, siding, windows, and roof. A mature tree could even collapse a portion of your house.

Your vehicle might be trapped if fallen trees block driveways and roadways. The team at Mike Forrest Tree Removal Service can get those trees cleared away fast so that you can get back to normal in no time. Do you need storm damage restoration services? Give us a call.

Trimming and Pruning

Why should your trees need regular trimming? Tree trimming can save time, money, and, more importantly, lives. It’ll help keep large branches from falling off during a storm and landing on you or your house. Cutting branches away from your home can also prevent critters from nesting in your roof or insects from invading your home.

A licensed arborist also knows how to trim a tree and direct growth so that branches move away from structures and dangerous power lines.

Tree pruning is all about curb appeal. And who better than a certified arborist to know best how to shape that beautiful maple or oak?

Regular tree trimming prevents dangerous tree-related accidents. And consistent tree pruning makes your property look great!

Stump Grinding

No tree removal is complete without stump grinding. After removing the bulk of the tree, we begin to grind. Once we’ve ground the stump to the level of the yard’s surface, the roots will die, and the tree won’t regrow.

Why Do We Trim Branches Before We Fell A Tree

Trimming branches before felling a tree is one of our safe work practices. We know how to cut branches to avoid getting hit by the tree or the branches when the tree falls. After we get the tree down, we chop it up into manageable pieces.

DIY or Professional Tree Trimming – Which is Better?

Tree trimming is hazardous work. So consider the following questions before deciding to trim or fell a tree on your own:

These questions will help you determine when it’s time to pick up the phone and call the pros.

If the tree is taller than 20 feet, a lot of work and expertise will be needed to remove it. The tree needs to be de-branched, topped, secured with a safety line, and pulled in the direction you want the tree to fall. A vee cut will encourage the tree to drop in the direction you’re aiming for, but that’s not a guarantee. A professional will know how to do the job safely.

That’s where we come in. Our licensed arborists and technicians are ready to help. Give us a call to take care of your Crofton property today!
