“They did an amazing job leaving no mess.”
We had Terry, Don, Breann, Kol come to our residence to remove a very large 100 year old Elm tree that was diseased. They did an amazing job leaving no mess. They had to remove my temporary fence for access and re-built it that same day without any issues. Very Professional, would highly recommend.

“He was friendly, courteous, and answered all my questions.”
This morning they were out front hard at work removing a large, dead tree. I spoke with a member of the crew, Cam, he was friendly, courteous, and answered all my questions. It's a rare sight nowadays to see a crew of yellow vests and everyone working.

What is Tree Removal?
No matter how hard we try to save our trees, sometimes, it has to go—whether it’s dead, overgrown, or causing problems in your yard. Maybe it’s leaning a little too close to your house, blocking sunlight, or making your lawn less healthy. Whatever the reason, removing a tree the right way keeps your property safe and looking its best.
Reasons for Removing Trees
We’re passionate about tree care. For us, tree removal is always a last resort. Here’s when our arborists will recommend it to you:
Dead or Dying Trees:
A dead or dying tree is a real danger. Weak branches can break off in storms, and an unstable trunk can topple unexpectedly on your vehicle or a passerby. If you notice cracks in the trunk, large dead branches, and no new leaf growth, your tree might not be as strong as it looks.
Near Utility & Other Structures:
Trees growing too close to power lines, buildings, or plumbing can spell disaster. Overgrown branches can knock out power, and aggressive roots can damage foundations or sewer lines. If a tree is leaning toward your house or interfering with underground systems, removal may be the best solution.
Root Damage or Weak Root Systems:
A tree is only as strong as its roots. If you’re seeing cracks in the pavement or sidewalks, exposed, damaged, or shallow roots, or a tree that wobbles too much in strong winds, the root system may be weak, making the tree more prone to falling. Some species naturally have shallow, fast-spreading roots, which can cause damage to driveways, patios, or even plumbing.
Improve Your Landscape & Open Up Your Space:
Sometimes, a tree just doesn’t fit your vision for your yard. If a tree blocks sunlight, crowds other plants, or limits space for new structures, removing it can help you create a more open, balanced, and beautiful outdoor space.
Understanding When It's Time to Remove Trees
Keeping an eye on your trees can save you from unexpected damage, costly repairs, or safety hazards. If you’re unsure whether it’s time for a tree to go, here are some clear warning signs to look for.
- Cracks in sidewalks, driveways, or foundations. This can mean roots are causing damage below the surface.
- Roots growing where they shouldn’t. If you see them near patios, walls, or plumbing, they could cause long-term structural issues.
- Branches tangled in power lines. This is a serious safety hazard that should be addressed immediately.
- Overhanging limbs near structures. If branches hang over your roof, shed, or driveway, they could break and cause damage.
- Multiple dead or broken branches – A few dead branches? Normal. A lot? A sign of a dying tree.
- Ants, termites, or other wood-boring insects – If pests are burrowing into the trunk, the inside of the tree could be rotting.
- Fungal growths on the trunk or near the roots. (Note: While not all fungi are bad, mushrooms or conks can be a sign of internal decay.)
Why Professional Tree Removal Is Always a Safer Choice
Tree removal isn’t as simple as grabbing a chainsaw and getting to work. It’s a dangerous, complex job that requires skill, experience, and the right equipment. Choosing professional tree removal services over DIY doesn’t just save you time—it protects your property and your safety.
Minimise Damage to Your Yard & Surroundings:
Removing a tree the wrong way can tear up your lawn, damage nearby plants, and even harm surrounding structures. Our professionals use specialised equipment like cranes and bucket trucks to carefully remove sections of a tree without wrecking your landscape. We set up safety zones to prevent unnecessary damage, use barriers and controlled lowering techniques to catch falling debris and ensure your yard looks clean and undisturbed when we’re done.
Trained Professionals Who Know the Best Techniques:
Beyond protecting your property, professional tree removal ensures the job is done correctly and safely. Whether it’s a routine or emergency removal, trained arborists understand the best techniques to assess the tree’s health, plan a safe removal strategy, and execute the job without unnecessary risk. Experience and training make all the difference when handling large or hazardous trees, and our team at Green Drop prioritises safety at every step of the process.
DIY Tree Removal is Risky—And Not Worth It:
Attempting DIY tree removal is not only dangerous—it can also be far more expensive in the long run. Without proper training, you could face serious injury from falling branches or mishandled equipment, unexpected property damage if the tree falls the wrong way, or even legal issues if you don’t follow local regulations. Many cities have tree removal ordinances that professionals are well-versed in, so instead of spending hours researching local bylaws, handling heavy equipment, and putting yourself at risk, leave it to the experts.
Our Tree Removal Procedure
Tree removal is a big job, but we make it safe, efficient, and hassle-free. Here’s how our certified arborists handle the process from start to finish.
Step 1: Assessment By Our Arborist
Before we begin, we evaluate the tree’s health, location, and potential risks. Our team creates a customised removal plan to ensure safety and minimise the impact on your property.
Step 2: Cutting & Removal
We start by trimming branches to control weight and direction, then cut the trunk into sections for safe removal. For larger trees, we use specialized equipment like aerial lifts and rigging to lower...
Step 3: Stump Removal & Cleanup
Once the tree is gone, we remove or grind the stump, then clear away all debris, leaving your yard neat and ready for its next chapter.
