Remove Dead or Hazardous Trees Safely

Sky High Tree Service provides complete tree removal for residential and commercial properties in Buxton, Maine.

When a tree on your property in Buxton is dead, severely damaged, or leaning toward your house, removal becomes necessary to protect your home and family. Trees that have lost structural integrity can fall without warning, especially during wind or ice storms common in Maine. Removal eliminates the risk and clears space for new plantings, construction, or simply a safer yard.

Sky High Tree Service handles the entire removal process, from cutting the tree down in sections to hauling away all wood and debris. The crew uses rigging techniques when the tree is near structures, and directional felling when there is open space. Every removal is planned to minimize impact to your lawn, driveway, and landscaping. The property is left clean and ready for whatever comes next, whether that is replanting, grading, or building.

If you have a tree in Buxton that needs to come down, contact Sky High Tree Service to schedule an evaluation and removal estimate.

What to Expect During a Tree Removal

The crew in Buxton begins by evaluating the tree's condition, location, and lean to determine the safest removal method. If the tree is near your home or other structures, it is taken down in sections using ropes and rigging to control each piece. If there is open space, the tree may be felled in one or two large cuts and processed on the ground.

Once the tree is down, your yard will be clear of the hazard that was threatening your property. You will no longer see dead branches overhead, and the risk of falling limbs during the next storm is gone. The crew cuts the trunk and limbs into manageable pieces, loads everything onto the truck, and removes all debris from your property.

Sky High Tree Service brings chainsaws, rigging equipment, and chippers to handle trees of all sizes. The stump is cut flush with the ground, but stump grinding is not included in standard removal and must be arranged separately. The service does not include replanting, grading, or landscape restoration, but the area is left clean and accessible once the tree is gone.

What Homeowners Ask Before Removing a Tree

Homeowners in Buxton often have questions about cost, timing, and what happens to the wood after removal. These answers cover the most common concerns before scheduling tree removal.

How do you know when a tree needs to be removed?
You should remove a tree if it is dead, leaning heavily toward a structure, has extensive decay at the base, or has lost more than half of its canopy. These conditions make the tree unsafe and unlikely to recover.
What happens to the wood after the tree is cut down?
The crew cuts the wood into sections and hauls it away from your property in Buxton. If you want to keep the wood for firewood, let the crew know before the job starts and they can leave it stacked for you.
How long does tree removal take?
Removal time depends on tree size, location, and access. A small tree in an open yard may take a few hours, while a large tree near your house can take most of a day due to rigging and controlled sectioning.
What is done with the stump after removal?
The stump is cut as close to the ground as possible during removal, but grinding it below grade requires separate equipment and is not included. Sky High Tree Service can arrange stump grinding if you need the area fully cleared.
Why does removal cost vary between trees?
Cost depends on tree height, diameter, proximity to structures, and access for equipment. Trees that require rigging or are located in tight spaces take more time and equipment, which increases the price.
