Eduardo was fantastic to work with. Quick to schedule and helpful by listening to what my goals and concerns were. I had a smaller project so he was able to squeeze me in the very next day after providing an estimate. Quality work that was reasonably priced.

The work crew knew what I wanted them to do. They showed up on time and started to work, checking with me to make sure that everything was done to my satisfaction. They did a great job with cleanup. Eduardo was a pleasant person and professional with his job.

I had reached out to get a quote after our Black Walnut Tree had some large branches break off in high winds. Ed made some recommendations and talked me through what branches he would remove. His team showed up on time and did a great job! Not only do our trees look great and healthy, but his team did a great job cleaning up the yard after.

Signs a Tree on Your Columbus Property Needs to Come Down

Some warning signs are easy to spot from the yard. Look for these:

  • A lean that is new or getting worse.
  • Large dead branches, or bare limbs when other trees have leaves.
  • Cracks, fungus, or hollow spots in the trunk.
  • Roots lifting the ground or harming pipes, walkways, or foundations.
  • Branches close to the house or power lines.

It does not promise to handle permits.

Can You Remove a Tree Yourself?

Storm Damage and Emergency Tree Removal in Columbus

After a storm drops a tree, stay clear of it and of any lines. If a power line is down, call the utility company. Do not touch the tree or anything it rests on. Take photos for your own records.

Stump Grinding and Cleanup After Removal

After the tree is down, a stump remains. Stump grinding can be discussed at the estimate. The stump can stay, or it can be ground down, depending on your plans for the space. If you want a new lawn or garden bed, grinding may make sense. Hauling away the wood and debris can be agreed in advance too. Decide what you want the yard to look like, and say so at the visit.

What Should You Ask Before You Hire a Tree Removal Company?

Ask five things before you hire: what the written estimate covers, who will be on site, how the visit is confirmed, what cleanup is included, and how they handle trees near buildings or lines. Write the answers down for each company you call. For city questions, the Citizen Services page for a city named Columbus in Georgia is a different city's site, so use the Ohio city's pages for any rule that applies to your yard. Compare the answers side by side. The company that explains its plan clearly is the one that earns your call.
