Start here if a tree worries you
You may have never hired a tree pro. That is fine. This page gives you plain steps and calm answers.
Incommincenties Tree Service is a referral service. It connects you with independent local providers. The provider does the work, not Incommincenties Tree Service.
Is the tree unsafe right now?
Start with safety. A tree on your house, on a car, or touching a power line is an emergency. Stay back. Keep kids and pets inside. Never touch a line, even if it looks dead. Tell your utility company about any downed wire.
Then Request a callback to check provider availability, or send a request online.
Warning signs that a tree may need to come down
Not every tree needs to go. Watch for these signs:
- A lean that is getting worse
- Cracks or splits in the trunk
- Large dead branches near the top
- Mushrooms growing at the base
- Roots that lift the soil or the lawn
- Bare branches when other trees are green
If you see one or more, ask a provider to take a look. A short visit can tell you if the tree can stay.
Why homeowners take trees down
The reasons are usually simple. The tree is dead or sick. A storm cracked it. It sits too close to the house. Roots push on pipes or old stone and block foundations. Or the tree blocks a new deck, garage, or driveway.
In cold, snowy places, ice and heavy snow add stress to weak limbs. Coastal storms add wind. Both can turn a small problem into a big one.
How the job works, step by step
Step 1: A provider looks at the tree
A provider visits, or reviews photos. They check the size, the lean, and what stands nearby. Then they give a written quote.
Step 2: The crew sets up
They pick a plan for the cut. They protect fences, lawns, and roofs where they can. They may close off part of the yard.
Step 3: The tree comes down
Some trees fall in one piece. Many come down in sections. On tight lots, a climber cuts small pieces and lowers them with ropes. This is called rigging.
Step 4: Cleanup
The crew cuts the wood into pieces. They haul it away or leave it, based on your quote. Then they rake and clear the area.
What changes the price
Price depends on the job, not just the tree. Size matters most. So does the tree's health. A dead tree can be risky to climb. Access matters too. Narrow side yards on older lots and homes close to the tree take more time and care. Power lines add work. Hauling away debris adds cost as well.
See the cost table below for typical U.S. ranges. Always get a written quote.
Permits and local rules
Some towns ask for a permit before you cut a large or protected tree. Some have rules for trees near the street. Multi-family buildings and shared lot lines can bring extra steps. If you rent, ask your landlord first.
Call your town office or check its website before work starts. A provider may know the local rules, but you should confirm them yourself.
What a neighbor's tree means for you
A tree on the property line can be tricky. Talk to your neighbor early. Share the quote. Agree on who pays and when the work happens. Put the plan in writing.
How to pick a provider
Get two or three quotes. Then compare them side by side. Ask each provider:
- Can you show proof of insurance and any local license?
- Does the quote list every task in writing?
- Is cleanup and wood haul-away included?
- What happens to the stump?
- How will you protect my lawn, roof, and fence?
Be careful with anyone who asks for all the money up front. Be careful with anyone who pushes you to decide on the spot.
Planning around a busy household
You have work, school, and a full calendar. Ask for a day that fits your routine. Many jobs take a few hours to a day, though large trees can take longer. Tell the provider about nap times, home offices, and school pickup. Chainsaws and chippers are loud.
Getting ready for removal day
A little prep makes the day smoother:
- Move cars out of the driveway and off the street if needed
- Clear toys, grills, and patio furniture
- Unlock side gates
- Keep kids and pets inside
- Tell nearby neighbors about the noise
- Mark sprinklers, buried lines, or lights
Insurance and damage
Some policies may cover sudden damage, such as a storm-struck tree. Check your policy to be sure. Providers can often help document damage for a claim. Take photos before anything moves.
After the tree comes down
Look over the yard with the provider before they leave. Check the lawn, fence, and roof. Ask what to do with the stump. You can leave it, or have it ground down later.
Fill low spots with soil. Reseed the bare patch once the weather warms. In snowy areas, spring snowmelt is a good time to see how the ground settles. Plan what you will plant next.

Providers use climbing gear, ropes, and saws to take trees down in sections near homes and wires.
Debris Cleanup
Many quotes cover cutting wood into pieces, raking up, and hauling away branches. Confirm this in writing.
Stump Options
Ask what happens to the stump. Some quotes leave it. Others add grinding as an extra.
