Earthworks saved our orchard! We had two consultations with Earthworks regrading our fruit trees. As novices, we'd made several missteps that were affecting the health of our trees. Christopher was very knowledgable and helpful

FAQ

We offer a comprehensive range of tree services, including tree removal, trimming, pruning, stump grinding, tree health assessments, emergency tree services, and land clearing. Whether you need routine maintenance or have an urgent tree-related issue, we've got you covered.

A tree may need to be removed if it is diseased or dying, damaging property, posing a safety hazard due to structural issues, or obstructing essential sunlight or views. Our ISA Certified Arborists can assess the tree's condition and recommend the appropriate action.

Tree pruning is essential for maintaining the health, shape, and safety of your trees. Most trees benefit from pruning every 3-5 years, but fast-growing species may require more frequent attention based on specific landscape goals.

In a tree emergency, contact Earthworks Tree Service for our 24/7 Emergency Tree Removal service, which includes rapid response, safe removal of hazardous trees, risk assessment, post-removal cleanup, and coordination with local authorities if necessary.

Yes, we offer a satisfaction guarantee on most of our services and provide warranties on specific services like tree removal and stump grinding; details are discussed during the consultation to ensure you’re fully informed.
