We offer a full range of services. We always recommend the best plan tailored to each individual tree, client, and property. Tree health care, pest or disease mitigation, pruning and stabilization are often overlooked. Removal, stump grinding, and site restoration are a second course of offerings should they be necessary.

Yes, LumberJags can provide insurance documents, tax documents, and meet your companies health and safety plan requirements to work seamlessly within your property.

Yes! As tree specialists, we carry a hefty $1,000,000/$2,000,000 general liability insurance policy that specifically covers tree work at hight that most landscaping company’s policies will exclude. We are happy to share certificates of insurance upon request, and we are able to provide certificates to name additional insureds for commercial customers to meet their requirements.

Yes absolutely! Insurance companies are not arborists, and sometimes their requirements would put the tree at risk of disease or death. We can work with you and the insurance companies to provide documents to satisfy their needs while keeping you insured and saving money (and the trees!) in the long run for all involved.

Pricing tree work is unfortunately not a simple task. Complications such as proximity to structures, landscaping, access and location, tree structure and condition, permitting, and many other factors play into the cost. However, the LumberJags take pride in offering competitive pricing and don’t just say that. Often times clients have budgets to stick to and cost is a factor in deciding which company to choose - and we get that. If for some reason we are not your top pick because of the scope of work or because of cost, feel free to let us know and we will do our best to meet your budget expectation, match a bid, or explain what sets our quote apart from another.

Depending on your locality, permits may be required depending on many factors. A permit may be required to work on a tree within a roadway Right-Of-Way, or a permit may be required for tree removals no matter where they are located, or a permit may be required to stage equipment or provide traffic control in order to complete your job.

Permits are primarily the responsibility of the property owner, but we understand the time commitment and sometimes confusing nature of the process. LumberJags offers permitting and coordination services and will work with municipal governments and utility companies to complete your project safety and legally.

Huge trees and small trees alike are well within our day to day capabilities! Sometimes, large trees can be easily removed with heavy equipment, other times, it needs to be removed by hand. We will look at your specific situation, explain the pros and cons, and work with you on an approach that meets all your requirements and expectations.

Tree work in general is a high impact activity. The LumberJags use specialized equipment so debris does not crash down on sensitive areas. Trees can weigh tens of thousands of pounds! We take care on all jobs to not impact your landscaping, buildings, fences, etc. But there will be signs that we have been there (trampled grass, mud, and minor landscaping impacts). Sometimes, the utmost care is desired so there is no trace that the work has occurred. While this involves additional time and cost, we can provide this extra service if desired.

We adhere to all the latest occupational safety and national industry policies and requirements. All the measures that ensure we are safe in the tree make sure your property is safe as well. Personal protective equipment is not overlooked, everyone on site will be equipped with safety gear so we can all get the job done and get home safe every day.

Industry best practices are adhered to during pruning to ensure the best chance of your tree thriving after pruning. When we come out to see your job, we will always take the time to make recommendations in line with those best practices wile taking in to account your desired end goal. Most the time this can be done, but sometimes removal is a better and safer option if the portion of the tree that is desired to be removed is too large.

Depending on the species, some trees are more susceptible to diseases or pests in the warmer months. Most notably are Ash and Oak, but that is not a complete list. LumberJags will always recommend the best time of year to give your trees the best chance of thriving after the pruning.

Yes, while stump grinding is not typically included in the price of most work, it can be included if requested. We can also remove grindings, or bring in top soil and seed if desired - just let us know at the time of quoting!

We get asked this a lot in various forms. Sometimes people assume trees have value or can be sold to make back end money. The truth is - residential trees or “backyard” trees do not typically carry value at a commercial scale. The risk of the trees containing metal from fences, clothes lines, bird feeders, and other decorative items makes saw mills shy away from them. But just because it’s not turned into lumber doesn’t mean it’s wasted!

LumberJags pays to dispose of each load of tree debris removed from your property and it is brought to several processing facilities in the area and is further processed into mulch to complete the green cycle.

While we do not deliver on demand, we do partner with ChipDrop.com for wood chips and logs. If you are looking for a large quantity of wood or chips, contact us and we may be able to help out. (It should be noted that loads are usually mixed, not seasoned, not cut to firewood lengths, and may have rot and/or insects.)
