Large & Hazardous Tree Removal for Fall Branch Homes
Many Fall Branch farmhouses were built with a pair of shade trees in the yard, and those trees kept growing long after the house was finished. Today a white oak or tulip poplar planted for summer shade may reach far above the roofline, with heavy limbs spreading over the porch, the well house or the barn. Signs that one has turned hazardous include a crack opening in the trunk, a hollow at the base, a new lean toward the house or big dead limbs high in the crown. On a farm, the risk is often less about a neighbor's fence and more about your own buildings and the people working around them.
Open ground around Fall Branch homes gives us more room to work than a tight town lot, but it does not make a big tree simple. A tall poplar beside a farmhouse usually still has to come down in pieces, because felling it whole would put the top into the roof or the barn. Where there is a clear pasture side, we may drop the final trunk section into the field instead of rigging it. Soft ground, creek bottoms and septic fields shape where equipment can stand. We also ask whether the wood is worth keeping, since big oak and walnut often end up as firewood or saved logs.
Every Fall Branch removal starts with our crew walking around the tree, the house and the outbuildings, deciding which limbs get rigged and lowered and which open area takes the brush. Near structures, each section is tied off and brought down on ropes, and the wind is watched the whole time. Afterward we chip what you do not want, cut the trunk to firewood or log lengths if you ask, and haul the rest. As a locally owned and operated company, we would rather give you a straight read than a sales pitch, so call us to set up an on-site estimate for that big tree.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you save the walnut or oak logs from a big tree on my farm?
Often, yes. Black walnut and white oak trunks from Fall Branch yards and fence rows are sometimes worth keeping for lumber or firewood. Tell us before the work starts so we cut the trunk into long, clean logs instead of short rounds and set them where you want them. Yard trees can hold old nails, fence staples or wire, which may affect what a sawmill will accept.
Does a big tree in the middle of a pasture need to come down?
Not always. A lone oak or walnut in an open field takes more wind than trees in the woods, but a sound one can stand for many years. Removal makes more sense when there is a large crack, rot at the base, major dead limbs or a lean toward a barn, fence or lane where people and livestock gather. We look at it in person and tell you what we see.
How do I know if a large tree is hazardous?
Look for a lean that is new or getting worse, cracks or seams in the trunk, cavities, bark falling off, dead branches in the upper canopy and fungus growing near the base. Lifting or cracked soil on one side after heavy rain is another warning sign. Any one of these near a house, driveway or play area is worth a closer look. Call us and we will come out and give you a straight answer.
Can you remove a tree that is very close to my house?
Yes. Trees standing within a few feet of a roof or wall are exactly what this service is for. Instead of felling the tree, our crew takes it apart from the top down and lowers each section with ropes. When the canopy hangs over the roof, we work limbs back toward the trunk first. If there is no safe way to rig a tree by hand, a crane may be the better option, and we will tell you.
