Tree Removal Process Northwest Harbor

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we come out and assess your situation. We’ll look at what needs to be done, identify any safety concerns, and give you a clear estimate with no surprises. If it’s an emergency, we move fast.

During the work, we section trees safely to avoid damage to your property, structures, or landscaping. Everything gets chipped on-site or hauled away completely. If you want the wood for firewood, we can work with that too.

After removal, we handle stump grinding down to well below ground level so you can plant, landscape, or just have a clean yard again. We clean up completely – you shouldn’t find branches in your bushes three weeks later.

How much does tree removal cost in Northwest Harbor?

Tree removal costs depend on the tree’s size, location, and complexity of the job. A small tree in an open area might cost a few hundred dollars, while a large tree near structures or power lines can cost several thousand. We provide detailed estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for – removal, stump grinding, cleanup, and disposal. The price includes our insurance and proper equipment, which protects you from the much higher costs that come with property damage or injuries from inexperienced crews.

Do you handle emergency tree removal after storms?

Yes, we respond to emergency tree situations throughout Northwest Harbor and surrounding areas. If a tree has fallen on your house, is blocking your driveway, or is hanging dangerously after storm damage, we prioritize these calls. We understand that coastal storms can create urgent situations that can’t wait for regular business hours. Our emergency service focuses on making your property safe first, then completing the full cleanup once the immediate danger is addressed.

Will you damage my landscaping during tree removal?

We take extensive precautions to protect your existing landscaping, lawn, and hardscaping. This includes using plywood to protect delicate areas, carefully planning our approach to minimize equipment impact, and sectioning trees in a way that avoids crushing shrubs or flower beds. When we do need to drive equipment across your lawn, we wait for appropriate ground conditions when possible and repair any unavoidable damage. Part of our job is leaving your property in better condition than we found it, minus the tree problem you called us to solve.

How deep do you grind stumps?

We grind stumps to at least 6-8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough for you to plant grass, flowers, or even a new tree in the same spot. If you’re planning to build or install hardscaping in that area, we can grind deeper upon request. The grinding process turns the stump into mulch chips that we can either remove completely or leave for you to use elsewhere in your landscaping. We also remove the major surface roots that could interfere with mowing or planting.

Are you licensed and insured for tree work?

Yes, Competition Tree, Inc. is fully licensed and carries comprehensive liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. This protects you from financial responsibility if someone gets injured on your property or if accidental damage occurs during the work. We can provide proof of insurance before starting any job. This insurance coverage is one of the key differences between professional tree services and cheaper, uninsured operators who can leave you liable for accidents or property damage.

What's the best time of year for tree trimming?

For most trees in the Northwest Harbor area, late winter or early spring is ideal for major pruning work, before new growth starts but after the worst winter weather has passed. However, dead, damaged, or hazardous branches should be removed immediately regardless of season. Some trees have specific timing requirements – for example, oak trees are best pruned in winter to avoid attracting beetles that spread oak wilt disease. We can advise you on the optimal timing for your specific trees and situation during our assessment.
