Mature trees are one of the features that make Merrifield properties attractive, but large trees can become serious concerns when they are dead, declining, leaning or growing close to a home or cabin. We specialize in difficult removals where branches and trunk sections need to be controlled to protect roofs, decks, garages, driveways, landscaping and neighboring property.
For trees in tight or difficult-access areas, we may remove the tree in controlled sections and use equipment suited to the property to help protect nearby cabins, homes, landscaping, driveways and shoreline areas.
Lake properties often present challenges that are different from open residential lots. Trees may stand between buildings and the shoreline, equipment access may be narrow, and owners often want to preserve surrounding mature trees and natural vegetation. Nic's Works plans the job around those conditions so necessary tree work can be completed with as little disruption to the property as practical.
Removing dead, damaged, rubbing or overextended limbs can improve clearance around homes and help reduce the chance of branches failing during wind, heavy snow or ice. Professional tree trimming and pruning can be especially valuable for mature trees over roofs, decks, driveways and outdoor living areas.”
