A Proper Tree Removal
Tree removal is the complete, safe extraction of a tree from your property. It’s a service designed for trees that have become hazardous, diseased, unstable, or no longer fit the layout of your yard. Removing a tree involves cutting the tree in controlled sections, managing debris, and ensuring your home, fencing, and surrounding landscape stay protected throughout the process.
Trees often need to be removed when they’re leaning, have decaying trunks, show signs of root damage, or pose a threat after storms. In some cases, removal is also needed to clear space for new construction, fencing, or yard redesign.
Tree removal requires trained professionals, proper equipment, and a solid understanding of how trees react during cutting. At Spartans Landcare, we’re committed to performing safe, efficient removals that protect your home and restore your yard’s safety and appearance.
What Does Tree Removal Include?
Every successful removal starts with careful planning. Here’s how our team handles each project:
1. On-Site Assessment and Consultation
We begin with an in-person evaluation. This includes checking the tree’s condition, location, leaning angle, root stability, and proximity to structures. We also talk through your concerns, property needs, and long-term plans for the area.
2. Safety Planning and Preparation
Before any cutting begins, we prepare the site by securing the area, reviewing obstacle locations, and planning the safest removal method. This ensures your property stays protected and the job is completed without unnecessary risks.
3. Controlled Tree Cutting
Our trained crew removes the tree in sections, using ropes and harnesses for full control. Whether the tree is near your home, fence line, or power lines, we use precise techniques to prevent damage and safely lower each branch and trunk piece.
4. Cleanup and Debris Removal
Once the tree is fully removed, we gather all branches, logs, and debris. You’re left with a clean, open space ready for new landscaping or further work.
5. Stump Grinding (Optional)
If you want the remaining stump removed, our Stump Grinding service completely grinds it below ground level. This prevents regrowth, removes tripping hazards, and prepares the area for new sod or landscaping.
The Advantages of Professional Tree Removal
Tree removal offers important benefits that improve both safety and the appearance of your property.
Protects Your Home
Removing unstable or leaning trees prevents property damage during storms or high winds.
Eliminates Safety Hazards
Dead branches and weakened trunks can fall without warning. Tree removal removes this risk for good.
Improves Yard Appearance
Taking out old, dying, or overcrowded trees opens up your yard and makes room for healthier growth.
Supports Future Landscaping
Tree removal allows you to redesign your outdoor space with new plant beds, patios, fencing, or Sod Installation.
Prevents Root Damage
Problematic roots can damage driveways, foundations, and walkways. Removing the tree stops this from getting worse.
Signs You Might Need Tree Removal
Major Leaning or Tilting
A tree that suddenly starts leaning or tilting is often showing signs of root weakness or soil instability. This can happen after storms or heavy rainfall. When a lean gets worse over time, it’s important to have it inspected before it becomes a real danger.
Large Dead Branches
Dead branches at the top of a tree can fall without warning, especially during windy days. They’re one of the earliest signs a tree is struggling internally. Removing the tree may be the safest option if the problem keeps getting worse.
Cracked or Hollow Trunk
Visible cracks, hollow spots, or missing bark often mean the tree has internal decay. Even if the outside looks fine, the structure may be failing from the inside out. A weakened trunk makes the entire tree unsafe.
Roots Lifting From the Ground
When roots start rising out of the soil, it usually means the tree is losing its anchor. This is especially common after storms or in saturated soil. Trees with loose or exposed roots can fall over suddenly.
Storm Damage
High winds, lightning, and heavy rain can leave trees unstable or heavily damaged. Even if the tree stays standing, the structure might be compromised. It’s always best to have storm-damaged trees inspected right away.
Mold, Fungus, or Rot
Fungus growing on the trunk or base of the tree is often a sign of internal rot. Once decay spreads, the tree becomes fragile and unsafe. Catching these issues early can prevent a dangerous collapse.
Tree Crowding or Overgrowth
When too many trees are competing for the same space, some grow weak or unstable over time. Removing one tree can help the others grow stronger and healthier. It also improves sunlight access and reduces maintenance.
Risk of Injury
Property Damage
Limited Equipment
Ladder Hazards
Complex Root Systems

Why DIY Tree Removal Isn’t Safe
Tree removal might look simple, but it’s one of the most dangerous home projects you can attempt. Here’s why trusting professionals is always the smart choice:
What Is the Cheapest Time of Year for Tree Removal?
The most affordable time for tree removal is typically during the winter months, when demand slows down and trees enter their dormant season. With less active growth and fewer leaves, removals are often quicker and easier for crews to handle. Many homeowners also schedule removals in late fall or early winter to avoid spring and summer price increases.
Even though winter is usually the cheapest time, every property is different, and tree conditions can change fast. If your tree is damaged, leaning, or unsafe, waiting could make the problem worse.
