Sticknegative Tree Service
Three services, one simple starting point

Tree Services Explained for First-Time Homeowners

**Tree work is three different jobs, not one**

A lot of people think tree work is one big job with one price. In practice, it is three different jobs. Sticknegative Tree Service is a referral service, so independent providers in our network do the work. Here is how the three fit together.

  • Tree Removal Services: planned removal of a tree that is dead, leaning, sick or too close to the house. Most first-timers start here.
  • Emergency Tree Removal Services: for a tree that has fallen or split after a storm and is blocking a driveway or resting on a roof.
  • Stump Grinding Help: what comes after. Grinding a stump below ground level lets you replant, lay sod or stop tripping.

Old house, new plan. Stone foundations, aging roofs and tight lots change how a tree comes down. Tell the provider about them up front. Each service has its own page with more detail.
