Tree Removal
We assess the situation of your trees, first make a plan to safely remove the tree without damaging your property, and use the techniques and equipment needed to bring the tree down, most often in pieces into its footprint. Cleanup and haul away come as a default for every job.

“Very fast response on a difficult large tree removal. They were great to work with.”
If it feels urgent, just call us.
If something about your tree has you worried just reach out. Trees are big, and when part or all of it falls, it falls fast and it falls big. We understand that, and we are happy to come out and assess the situation, free of charge. We've written it up a little bit about signs to look for that your tree is in trouble. If it turns out that the situation isn't so bad and it can wait, it's no problem.

No tree removal is too difficult — but not every tree needs removing.
Trees take a long time to grow, and they're a beautiful addition to our yards. If you are hoping to save your tree and you wonder if it really has to be removed, let us come look at it and try to figure out a way to save it. Storm damage, dead wood, and broken branches can look alarming from the ground, but it's amazing what a little pruning and another growth season can do for a tree. If removal is the right call, we'll say so and explain why.
“...We had to get a 50 ft oak tree removed after our lawn guy took it upon himself to cut some low-hanging branches... These guys were AMAZING with their state-of-art equipment and skill, working quickly and efficiently to take down this huge tree... this phenomenal crew not only performed the removal task with wonderful precision and teamwork but showed us respect and compassion regarding our loss... they did an excellent job cleaning up everything, leaving our property looking better than it did when they came!”
An insured crew protects you, and us too.
When a removal goes wrong, and it can go wrong, that can mean damage to your house, your car, or even your neighbor's property. Most homeowners never think to ask what a tree company actually carries - and a general liability policy alone is not enough with people climbing a fifty-foot oak over a roofline with chainsaws.
Trufast carries a $5 million liability tower, commercial auto, and workers' compensation. Certificates of insurance are provided as an attachment to every estimate that is sent out digitally to your email. These detail exactly what type and how much insurance we have in every area.
And while insurance covers when things go wrong, we put a lot of focus on making sure they don't go wrong in the first place. Our crews have weekly safety meetings to discuss safety topics and near misses, and how we can approach the next jobs better. We spend a lot on making sure that the equipment for your job is in good shape and ready to go. And that includes protecting your yard as well. On soft ground we use ground protection mats and plan where the equipment sits and how it accesses your property. We can't promise a perfectly untouched yard on every job as the work we do is very heavy work, but protecting it is something we actively plan for, not an afterthought.
$1M general liability + $4M umbrella, plus commercial auto and workers’ compensation.
Local and owner-operated, with the same standards and training behind every crew we send.
Our certified arborist is on staff and sets the technical and safety standards our crews train to.

Stump Removal
Stump removal (or grinding) takes the stump and roots down 3–6 inches below grade so the yard is level and usable again.

Regular trimming and pruning keeps a tree healthy and reduces what a storm can take off.
