Tree Trimming
Our certified arborists perform precision trimming to improve tree health and aesthetics. We remove low branches to raise canopies, thin crowns for better grass growth, and reduce wind load for safety. Proper trimming techniques help maintain structural integrity while enhancing property value and preventing potential hazards.
Tree Removal
We safely remove trees of all sizes with complete debris cleanup. Our team climbs and disassembles trees piece by piece, removing all materials including stumps. Options include leaving stumps for decorative purposes, grinding below ground level, or full restoration with grass seeding.
Lot Clearing
We clear land for residential and commercial development while preserving high-value trees. Services include complete vegetation removal for new construction, driveway/fence line clearing, and selective clearing to maintain property value. Our equipment handles projects from single-home lots to multi-acre developments.
Firewood Supply
Premium seasoned hardwood mix includes oak, hickory, and maple for clean, hot burns. We offer measured face cords (8'x4'x16") and full cords (8'x4'x4'). Delivery available for bulk orders, with special pricing for multiple cords and pickup options for smaller quantities.
Storm Damage Cleanup
Our team assesses storm-damaged trees to determine restoration or removal needs. We safely remove hanging branches, damaged portions, or completely compromised trees. Emergency services include site stabilization and debris removal to restore property safety after severe weather events.

Mark and his crew did a great job trimming and cleaning up a couple trees in my yard. They made it to trim the trees before the date expected, they were fast, did what was asked and cleaned up when done. Very good job, will call again when the trees need another trimming. Thank you Mark & crew!

Mark was referred to me by a very satisfied customer. Mark offered a free estimate, and some excellent advice that we took. Work was done quickly with professional workers that left the property in perfect shape for future plantings. Highest recommendation.

Mark's trimmed two large oak trees in our front yard. We called several companies to quote the same work and Mark's was the cheapest. Mark personally came out to talk to us before the job was completed to provide the quote and ask how we wanted the trees trimmed. His team completed the job while we were at work and it was done perfectly. The team cleaned up all debris and left no damage to the surrounding yard. We would highly recommend Mark's Tree Care.
