**Find the job that matches the tree in your yard**
A tree job feels big the first time. It helps to know which job you actually have. Pick the one below that fits, then decide how much you can do yourself and where to stop.
Tree Removal means taking down a whole tree that is dead, leaning, too close to the house, or simply in the wrong spot. Most of this is work for a provider with ropes, saws and insurance.
Stump Grinding Services deal with what is left at ground level. After the tree is down, you can clear the path, mark any sprinkler lines, and let a provider grind the stump below the surface.
Emergency Tree Removal is for trees that split or fall after a winter rain event or a hard wind. Stay clear, photograph the damage from a safe spot, and ask a provider about storm tree clearance.
