At Trumpp Tree Service, we know not all trees can be saved, as much as we wish they could. That’s why we offer professional residential tree removal when trimming just won’t cut it. 

Whether you’re dealing with a dangerous tree after a storm or one that’s simply in the wrong place, we’re here to make the process simple, safe, and stress-free. We show up fast, walk you through your options, and handle the job the right way without cutting corners.

When safety’s on the line, you want a team that knows exactly what they’re doing. That’s where we come in.

Residential Tree Removal Services


Not every tree removal is the same. Some are straightforward; others require careful planning, specialized equipment, and experience with high-risk situations.

We handle it all.


Standard Tree Removal

For smaller, more accessible trees, we can use efficient, controlled removal methods to safely take your tree down. We’re quick with the clean up as well, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.


Large Tree Removal

Large trees require precision. We take our time removing them in sections, using advanced rigging techniques to protect your home, your yard, and everything around it. You won’t have to worry about heavy equipment damaging your landscaping or grass, either. We leave your property spotless and without that large tree looming over your property anymore.


Emergency Tree Removal

When a tree falls, becomes unstable, or is causing an imminent threat, you don’t have time to wait.

Give us a call if your tree is leaning on your house or garage, resting on a vehicle, or blocking your driveway. We can often be there in just a few hours to take care of your emergency.


Dangerous Tree Removal

Some trees are accidents waiting to happen. When you have a dangerous tree removal, we know what to do so it’s handled the right way, the first time.

We’re skilled at removing trees that are hanging over your home, near active power lines, or are structurally unstable.


Cosmetic Tree Removal

A tree doesn’t have to be dying for you to want to remove it. If you’re tired of that tree being in your yard, we’ll come remove it, no problem. If a tree is blocking sunlight, crowding your space, or you no longer want it, we’ll remove it cleanly and without hassle.

Fast. Reliable. Professional.

It’s not always obvious when a tree becomes a problem. But there are a few warning signs you should never ignore.

Here’s what to look out for.

Sudden Lean or Shifting Base

If a tree suddenly starts leaning or the ground around it is shifting, that’s a major red flag. This often means the root system is compromised, and the tree could fall without warning.

Large Cracks or Hollow Areas in the Trunk

Deep cracks or hollow sections in the trunk weaken the tree's structure. Even if it looks stable from the outside, it may not be able to support its own weight for much longer and it’s better to remove it.

Dead or Falling Branches

If you’re noticing large dead limbs or branches falling on their own, the tree is already showing signs that it’s dying. This is especially dangerous near homes, driveways, or walkways.

Roots Lifting From the Ground

When roots start to lift or become exposed, the tree is losing its stability. This often happens after storms or heavy winds and can lead to sudden collapse.

Signs of Disease or Decay

Discoloration, fungus growth, or areas of rot are all signs that the tree is declining. Once decay sets in, the tree becomes unpredictable and unsafe.

Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Tree Removal

  • In many cases, we can provide same-day quotes and complete removal within 1–3 days. Emergency situations are often handled within hours.

  • Tree removal costs depend on size, location, and risk level. We offer free estimates, so give us a call, and we’ll come out to tell you how much it costs to remove your unwanted tree.

  • In most cases, no. Insurance typically only covers removal after damage from a covered event.

  • It can, in some cases, especially if the roots were supporting nearby soil. But leaving a problematic tree in place is often a bigger risk. We evaluate this before removal and guide you through the best approach.

  • We do not recommend DIYing a tree removal, especially when it’s in a dangerous spot, like hanging over a power line or your home.
