For folks in Lead, tree removal usually takes us anywhere from two to eight hours for a single, average-sized tree. How long exactly? Well, that depends on a few things: the tree's size, where it's sitting — like if it's close to your house or power lines — and just how tricky the removal will be. Bigger trees, or ones stuck in hard-to-reach spots, might even need a whole day, sometimes more. We always check out each job thoroughly beforehand, giving you a clear timeline so you know exactly what's coming.
If you're in Lead and notice a tree with lots of dead branches—we're talking more than half its canopy—or deep cracks running through the trunk, it's probably time for it to go. Significant leaning is another big red flag. Also, keep an eye out for fungal growth near the base or big holes in the trunk; those are clear signs of decay. Trees that have been battered by a bad storm, or ones swarming with pests like pine beetles, often become a real hazard. We can certainly come out, take a look, and tell you exactly what's going on with your tree's health and how stable it is.
