What tree work looks like in Troy

Troy’s subdivisions went up fast, and they were planted fast, mostly with silver maple, because it grows quickly and fills a yard in ten years. That was the appeal. The problem is what happens at forty.

Silver maple is soft-wooded. It grows big limbs with weak joins, and in a wind it sheds them.

Most of our summer callouts in Troy are a silver maple limb on a roof, a fence or a car. The fix is usually not removal. It is taking weight off the long limbs before they fail, which is far cheaper than what happens if you wait.

The ash situation in Troy

A lot of Troy’s ash is already dead. The emerald ash borer went through this area years ago, and the trees that were never treated are still standing in back yards.

A dead ash is not a job you can leave. Ash goes brittle faster than almost anything else we work on. Within a couple of years the limbs snap under their own weight, and a tree that could have been climbed safely has to be taken down with a crane instead.

That is the difference between a straightforward removal and a much larger bill. If you have a bare ash still standing, it gets cheaper the sooner it comes down, not later.

What we do here

We handle tree removal in Troy, from straightforward back-yard work to sectional takedowns in tight side yards. On the silver maples we trim and reduce the crown, shortening the long limbs so they stop breaking, without ever topping the tree. Dead ash comes out too, and the sooner the better.

Stump grinding, ground below the surface so you can seed or replant over it. Storm calls come at any hour, and we document the work for your insurer.

The trees you’re working with

Silver and Norway maple through the subdivisions, white oak on the older lots along Rochester Road, and green ash, most of it dead or dying. Where there is oak, we keep pruning out of the mid-April to mid-July window, because fresh cuts in summer attract the beetles that carry oak wilt.

What removal costs in Troy

A Troy removal usually runs $600 to $2,500. A big silver maple close to the house sits high in that range because it has to come apart piece by piece. A dead ash in an open back yard is usually near the bottom, as long as it comes down before it gets too brittle to climb.
