Properties to Life
Healthy trees enhance your property, increase curb appeal and provide just the right mix of shade, shelter and beauty. However, diseased, rotted or damaged trees may need to be removed with the help of a professional tree removal service.
At Burke’s Tree Service, we bring more than 40 years of experience to every job. We’re a leading licensed tree removal service company in the Rochester, New Hampshire region. You can count on us to provide dependable, safe and cost-effective services for any sized tree. Whether you need to remove one large oak or several smaller fruit-bearing trees, we’ll deliver exceptional results.
It can be difficult to say goodbye to a tree, especially one that you have enjoyed for years or even generations. However, sometimes removing a tree is unavoidable.
Some of the main reasons that customers call us to remove trees include:
Although most homeowners and property managers would not undertake an expansive tree removal project, some wonder whether they can handle removing a small or mid-sized tree. Because of the dangers around tree removal, it’s best to choose a licensed tree removal service. At Burke’s Tree Services, we remove trees safely and efficiently using the right preparation, skills, team and equipment.
We maintain insurance to provide peace of mind to you and our team members. Working on a tree removal project without being insured in case of an accident is unwise and may even violate regulations or property insurance clauses.
We also bring the appropriate types of handheld and heavy machinery to tree removal job sites. Many people are amazed when they see our crew operating cranes, lift trucks and bucket trucks, as well as powerful tools. These are not everyday items that most homeowners or property managers keep in their storage sheds or garages.
Tree removal requires a deep understanding of how to completely remove the tree in a way that maintains the ecological health and balance of the surrounding soil and landscaping. It includes much more than just felling a tree and walking away.
As part of our commitment to you, we support a sustainable and healthier environment. When we evaluate a tree removal job, we take an eco-friendly approach. All tree removal should result in an attractive and harmonious green space.
A tree may be a candidate for removal if it’s dead, dying, severely diseased, structurally compromised, or poses significant safety risk (storm damage, proximity to structures, weak attachment). Burke’s team assesses each tree carefully before recommending removal—we always try to preserve healthy trees when possible. However, when removal is necessary, we execute it safely and professionally using our specialized equipment, then help you plan for replacement or landscape restoration.
Tree removal pricing depends on size, location, complexity, accessibility, equipment needs, and debris cleanup. Removal near structures or power lines costs more due to increased difficulty and safety requirements. We provide a FREE, detailed estimate with no surprises. Our team explains the work and investment upfront. Contact Burke’s to schedule your free estimate and discuss your specific situation and budget.
Safety is paramount. Removal near structures requires specialized expertise, equipment, and careful planning. Our team uses cranes, bucket trucks, and lift trucks to execute removals safely and precisely, protecting your property. With 40 years of experience and specialized equipment, we handle complex removals that other providers might refuse. Your property safety is our accountability.
We handle all debris removal and cleanup as part of our service. Large logs can be chipped for mulch, cut for firewood, or hauled away per your preference. We work cleanly and leave your property neat. For many clients, removing a dead or hazardous tree opens opportunities for new plantings or landscape improvements. Let us discuss what’s best for your property.
Permit requirements vary by municipality. Some towns require permits for trees above a certain size; others have restrictions on protected species. Burke’s team is familiar with local regulations in the Rochester and surrounding areas and can advise you on permits for your specific location. We handle the permit process, ensuring full compliance so you can focus on your property.
DIY tree removal is extremely risky—injury, property damage, and liability are serious concerns. Professional removal requires specialized equipment, training, and insurance. Our team has the expertise and tools to handle hazards safely. Improper removal can damage your landscape or leave behind a dangerous stump. Trust Burke’s to do the job right—our 40 years of experience make the investment worthwhile.
Act quickly. Contact Burke’s Tree Service immediately for emergency removal service. During spring storms and other weather events, we respond to emergency calls from our Rochester and the surrounding community. Do not attempt removal yourself; fallen trees are unpredictable and dangerous. Our equipped team prioritizes your property’s safety and assesses damage to structures or utilities. We’ll remove the hazard and help you understand what happened.
Yes. Stumps are eyesores and safety hazards. We offer professional stump grinding 3-6in below grade. After grinding is complete, we will fill in the hole. We do not grind hardscapes. Grinding is faster and cleaner than complete extraction.
