Our Services

Safe Harbor Tree Service delivers professional, reliable, and safety-first tree care you can trust. We take pride in every job we complete and are committed to protecting your property, enhancing your landscape, and preserving tree health.

Our Services — Delivered with Expertise and Care

  • Safe Harbor Tree Service specializes in safely removing large, hazardous trees that threaten homes, vehicles, and property. Our certified crew uses industry-leading equipment and proven techniques for controlled tree dismantling, aerial rigging, and emergency removals. We assess each job for risk, secure work zones, and follow strict safety protocols to protect people and property. When a tree poses an immediate danger or requires careful, expert handling, trust our team to remove it efficiently and responsibly.

  • Tree pruning and trimming keep your trees healthy, safe, and attractive. Our certified arborists evaluate each tree’s species, structure, and health to determine targeted cuts that remove dead or diseased branches, reduce wind resistance, and improve light and air circulation. Proper pruning promotes vigorous growth, prevents structural failure, and minimizes the risk of property damage. We use industry-standard techniques and equipment to perform crown thinning, crown reduction, deadwooding, and clearance pruning with minimal impact to your landscape. Whether routine maintenance or corrective work after storm damage, our team provides efficient, safe service and a clean job site. Regular pruning extends the life of your trees and enhances curb appeal—invest in professional care to protect your property and preserve tree value.

  • Removing tree stumps restores the look, safety, and usability of your property. Our professional stump grinding service grinds stumps below ground level, turning them into fine mulch that can be reused in planting beds or removed for disposal. Benefits include eliminating tripping hazards, preventing pest infestations and new sucker growth, and making lawn care and landscaping easier. We use industry‑grade grinders to handle any size stump with minimal disturbance to surrounding turf and hardscape. After grinding, we backfill the hole and can haul away the grindings or leave them for your reuse. Prompt scheduling, trained operators, and cleanup included — reliable stump grinding to prepare your yard for its next project.

  • Safe Harbor Tree Service offers safe, efficient land clearing using experienced crews, specialized equipment, and careful planning. We clear trees, brush, stumps, and debris while protecting soil, nearby vegetation, and property. Our process: site assessment, permit coordination when needed, selective removal to preserve desirable trees, erosion control, and thorough cleanup so sites are ready for construction, landscaping, or recreation. We prioritize safety, environmental responsibility, clear communication, and on‑budget, on‑time results.

  • Performing a professional tree healthcare assessment identifies the current health, structural stability, and long-term needs of your trees. Our certified arborists inspect root condition, trunk integrity, branch structure, pest and disease presence, soil quality, and site stresses (compaction, drainage, grading, and utility conflicts). We document findings, assign a condition rating, and provide a prioritized action plan that may include pruning, fertilization, soil amendment, pest or disease treatment, cabling/bracing, mulch and irrigation recommendations, or removal when necessary. The assessment helps protect property, extend tree life, reduce risk, and inform budgeted care—delivering clear, actionable guidance tailored to each tree and landscape.
