Tree Removal

Our certified arborists safely remove hazardous or unwanted trees using industry-standard equipment and spikeless climbing techniques. We handle complete tree dismantling for storm-damaged, diseased, or structurally compromised trees while protecting surrounding property. Services include trunk sectioning, limb removal, and debris cleanup with disposal options for firewood, building materials, or compost.

Emergency Storm Cleanup

Available 24/7 for urgent tree-related emergencies, our team rapidly removes fallen trees and stabilizes damaged canopies. We prioritize safety during high-wind and heavy rain events, providing immediate hazard mitigation for residential and commercial properties. Emergency services include debris removal, structural risk assessment, and temporary bracing for compromised trees.

View Trimming

We enhance scenic views while maintaining tree health through strategic pruning that complies with ISA standards. Our arborists selectively remove branches to improve sightlines without compromising structural integrity. This service balances aesthetic enhancement with long-term tree vitality through proper pruning techniques that prevent overgrowth.

Windsail Reduction

This specialized pruning technique reduces wind resistance in evergreen trees by thinning branch density while maintaining natural shape. Our certified arborists create structural stability to prevent storm damage through strategic limb removal that preserves tree health. The service extends tree lifespan while minimizing risk to surrounding property.

Cabling & Bracing

We install structural support systems for trees with split trunks or weak branch unions using industry-approved hardware. This preventive maintenance extends the life of compromised trees while reducing limb failure risks. Our arborists assess mechanical stress points to determine optimal cable placement and tensioning for long-term stability.

Had Steve do an estimate fall of 2020. Was very well versed in the trees and how best to take care of them. Immediately felt confident they would do a good job. The crew was friendly and polite. They were flexible in taking on a couple of small additional tasks not on contract. Yes...they were a bit more expensive, but well worth the quality and thorough work.

Absolutely fabulous. Highly recommend! I lost many trees and bushes with the snowstorm (think all but one tree left standing). I contacted Steve expecting it to take a while for him to get back to me - immediate response! And he came out the next day to review the work and give me an estimate - amazing! He might be higher priced than others, but he brings a lot of knowledge to the situation. to my shock, he was able to save some really important privacy trees for me in my backyard - didn't expect that! His crew came out within days - professional, asked questions, made sure I got exactly what I

Update: Arbor magic did amazing work on my trees last spring. I was so impressed this winter not a single branch fell during or after the big snow we had this year!!! Thank you!
Arbor Magic is a great company to work with. I highly recommend them. We had a dead tree growing out of a live Maple in our backyard. Steve has a great relationship with the city and was able to take care of this quickly and professionally while, still beating out two other companies on price. His guys did great work and I couldnt be happier with the end result. I was also impressed with Steves follow-up. Arbor magic
