Kent Tree & Stump Removal Services

Is a tree casting an unwelcome shadow—or worse, becoming a hazard in your yard? Don’t wait for that unfortunate accident to happen! At Neat & Tidy, we specialize in safe and efficient tree removal, even in the trickiest spots around Kent. Once we’ve taken care of that tree, we’ll grind the stump, letting you reclaim your outdoor oasis!

What’s the Problem?

Here’s a quick checklist to see if you need our expert help:

• Dead or Dying Trees: Is there a tree leaning precariously or cracking from storm damage?
• Root Issues: Are roots lifting your sidewalks, driveways, or threatening nearby sewer lines?
• Overgrown Trees: Are conifers blocking sunlight or scraping against your roof and gutters?
• Invasive Species: Are pesky plants like holly, willow, or thicket plum trying to take over your garden?

Let’s be honest: if it poses a real danger, pruning won’t cut it. Removal and smart replanting are the way to go!

What We Remove & How We Do It

Here’s how we make tree removal smooth and easy:

• Sectional Dismantle: Using precision rope rigging for controlled lowers, we ensure that your roofs, fences, and gardens remain safe and sound.
• Crane Picks (when needed): For those large limbs stuck in tight spots, we’ll bring in a crane to get the job done efficiently.
• Chipping & Haul-off: We’ll chip the brush and cut logs to manageable lengths. Want us to leave the mulch? Just let us know!
• Stump Grinding: We grind stumps typically 6–12” below grade (deeper if you ask) and chase any main surface roots to prevent future issues.
• Backfill & Restore: After grinding, we replace the grindings with fresh topsoil or mulch and rake the area clean—perfect for sod, flower beds, or gravel.
• Utility Locate: Safety first! We always call 811 before we grind to avoid any surprises with underground lines.

Permits, Power Lines & Reality Checks

• Permits: Some trees, especially those on the street or in planting strips, may need permits. Don’t worry; we’ll flag any issues and help you with the paperwork.
• Power Lines: We respect the safety zone surrounding primary power lines. If your tree is too close, we’ll work with the utility company to ensure everything’s handled safely.
• Steep Slopes/Critical Areas: Extra care is essential in these locations. We’ll keep you informed about potential permits and timelines.

Our Annual Maintenance Plan (Your Yard’s Routine)

Once that troublesome tree is gone, let’s keep your remaining trees healthy and thriving:

• Hazard Scans before storm season to spot deadwood or clearance issues.
• Structural Pruning on strong trees and hedges—keeping your yard looking sharp and tidy!
• Stump Site Follow-Up to refill low spots as grindings settle and ensure a smooth appearance.
• Replanting Plans to find the perfect tree for your space—considering roots, light, and height!

We’re all about low-maintenance landscaping. Fewer emergencies, cleaner growth, and less hassle for you!

Service Cadences (Pick What Fits)

Choose a maintenance schedule that suits your lifestyle:

• Quarterly: Ideal for storm prep plus two tune-ups for hedges and fast growers.
• Bi-Monthly: A balanced approach for most Kent yards.

(After fresh removals or hedge catch-up, we may kick off with monthly visits for 60–90 days before tapering off.)

What Annual Maintenance Includes

Here’s what you can expect from our annual maintenance:

• A thorough walkthrough & priority list (checking for clearance, hazards, and view lines).
• Targeted pruning on remaining trees—no topping, ever!
• Shaping hedges/screens for clean, attractive lines.
• Leveling and topping up soil at former stump sites.
• Debris chipping/hauling with a spotless cleanup.

Why Annual Maintenance Matters

Here’s why you should consider regular maintenance:

• Safety: Address weak limbs before storm season hits.
• Cost-Effective: Small, early cuts are cheaper than late, big jobs.
• Looks: A well-maintained yard is an attractive one—boost your curb appeal!
• Longevity: Healthier trees mean trees that age beautifully.
