Process
Our 4-Step Tree Removal Process
01
On-Site Assessment
A certified arborist inspects the tree for decay and defects and walks the access route with you.
02
Site Setup
Outrigger pads and ground mats protect lawns, pavers, and irrigation lines.
03
Controlled Sectioning
Each section is secured to the crane or rigging line before the cut, then lifted clear of roofs.
04
Cleanup Walkthrough
Brush is chipped, wood is hauled or stacked and the site is raked and magnet-swept for nails.

“Two other companies told us the dead pecan next to our pool enclosure couldn’t come down. Summit brought a crane, had it down by lunch, and the screen didn’t get a scratch.”

Transparent Answers & Zero Guesswork
Clear answers on permits, insurance, access, and pricing.
Are you insured if something gets damaged?
Yes. We carry $2,000,000 in general liability insurance plus workers’ compensation, and we send a certificate of insurance before work begins.
How does crane removal protect my lawn and roof?
The crane holds each section before it’s cut, then lifts it straight up and out, so nothing swings or drops onto your roof, pool, or landscaping. Ground mats spread the crane’s weight to protect turf and pavers.
How fast can you respond to an emergency?
Our line is answered 24/7, and crews typically arrive in under 90 minutes in our core service area. Major storms can lengthen that.
Do I need a permit to remove or trim a tree?
It depends on the tree’s size, species, and location. In Austin, protected and heritage trees generally need city approval before removal or major pruning. We check the rules for your property and handle the permit and HOA paperwork as part of your quote.
What happens to the wood, debris, and stump?
We provide complete white-glove site cleanup: stumps are ground 18 inches below grade, debris is mulched or hauled away, and lawns are raked and magnetically swept for nails.
How do estimates work?
You get a fixed price after an on-site visit or photo/drone review, usually within 24 hours. The price only changes if the scope changes, and we’ll talk to you first.
Have questions about a specific tree or municipal heritage ordinance? Call an arborist directly at (555) 246-7357.
