Overgrown junipers swallowing the front steps. A hedge that has not been in scale with the house since the nineties. A volunteer tree three feet from the foundation. These get removed, the roots come out, and the space becomes usable again.

Small Tree & Bush Removal questions, answered
How large a tree will you remove?
ALT Landscaping handles small trees and large shrubs that can be taken down safely from the ground. Anything large-diameter, leaning, dead at height, or near a structure or power line should go to a certified arborist with climbing and crane equipment, and we will tell you so rather than take the risk.
Do you remove the stump?
For shrubs and small trees, yes, the root ball is dug out as part of the job so the spot can be replanted immediately. Large stumps that need mechanical grinding are quoted separately or referred out.
What happens to the debris?
It leaves with us. Removal quotes include hauling and disposal unless you ask to keep wood for firewood, in which case we will stack it where you want it.
