Poole's Tree Experts | Tree Removal in Gray Court, SC

A tree over a house comes down the way it grew, only backwards. Crown first, then the trunk in pieces, then the stump. This page runs in the same order.

Pruning before the limb decides

A dead limb over a roof is easier to take off on a calm day than after a storm drops it.

Pruning also lifts low branches off the house, the driveway and the power drop to the house.

Removal, one piece at a time

Most trees near a house can't be dropped whole. They come down in sections, top first, each piece cut to land where there is room for it.

Leaning toward the house, split at the trunk, or already down after a storm? Say so when you call. It changes the plan.

What happens on the ground

Once the wood is down it gets bucked into rounds and the brush is cut to size.

Clearing and grading a lot

Bought land to build on, or a fence line that has gone back to woods? Lot clearing takes out the trees and brush.

Grading then shapes the dirt so the ground sheds water where it should.
