5 FAQ About Tree Removal

What Causes Trees to Weaken and Die?

Trees can become infected by parasites, insects, or mold, and can be damaged by woodpeckers, wind, and ice. The weaker the wood becomes, the more likely they are to fall down or drop branches onto people and property.

Do I Need A Permit?

The short answer is, probably. The majority of jobs require permits, but a good tree removal company will know all the local processes and rules to get your permits quickly.

Do I Need to Prepare My Yard?

You may need to move your car and any outdoor furniture or toys to make room for heavy equipment, but the tree removal company will take care of the rest! A&M Crane and Rigging’s professionals work hard to keep your property and possessions safe while your tree is being removed.

What Equipment Will Be Used?

This depends on the size of the tree. Equipment ranging from cranes and trucks to chainsaws and stump grinders are likely to be required for any given project.

How Long Does it Take?

Time requirements vary by project, but the best tree removal companies will include a projected timeline for completion as part of their cost estimate. If you talk to a potential service provider and they can’t provide this information, steer clear.
