Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Estimates are free and typically need to be done in person.
What is stump grinding and how does it work?
Stump grinding is done once a tree has been removed. A motorized machine with a toothed wheel shaves the remaining stump 4 to 6 inches below the surface, leaving mulch that is put back into the hole, with the rest cleaned up and hauled away unless you want to keep it. If the yard has a gate, the machine needs at least 36 inches of clearance to pass through.
How often should my trees be pruned?
Most deciduous trees, meaning trees that shed their leaves annually, have growth patterns that call for pruning every 2 to 3 years. The best way to know is to have an arborist do a tree health evaluation.
What does the tree removal process look like?
Each tree is unique, so the removal differs slightly each time. If the tree is accessible by bucket truck the crew uses the lift to work around the tree and remove it piece by piece, rigging out and lowering sections carefully in more precarious situations. Each piece is fed through the chipper and hauled away. The same approach applies when a tree has to be climbed.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Western Cut Tree Care serves commercial properties with tree removal, pruning, stump grinding and storm cleanup, and works efficiently to minimize disruption to the business.
Do you give away mulch or wood chips?
