City of Boise requires permits for removing trees over 6 inches in diameter on public property or within city rights-of-way. Private property tree removal typically doesn't require city permits, but HOA restrictions may apply. We help determine permit requirements and handle the application process when needed.

Tree removal costs range from $300-500 for small trees to $1,500-3,000+ for large, complex removals. Factors include tree size, location, access difficulty, and cleanup requirements. We provide free written estimates and price match competitors' written quotes from licensed tree services.

Our comprehensive service includes assessment, professional execution using proper equipment and safety protocols, complete debris removal, and site cleanup. We also provide follow-up recommendations for ongoing tree care and are available for future questions or services.

Signs include dead or dying branches, unusual leaf discoloration, bark damage, fungal growth, or pest infestations. Our certified arborists can perform comprehensive health assessments to identify problems early and recommend appropriate treatments or removal if necessary.

Many storm-damaged trees can be saved with proper assessment and treatment. We evaluate structural integrity, remaining healthy tissue, and long-term viability. Sometimes selective pruning, cabling, or bracing can preserve valuable trees, while severely damaged trees may require removal for safety.

Native and adapted species perform best in our high desert environment. Good choices include honeylocust, hackberry, oak species, ash (where not restricted), and various pine species. We help select appropriate trees based on your specific site conditions, aesthetic goals, and maintenance preferences.

We recommend annual inspections for mature trees, especially those near structures or showing signs of stress. Younger, healthy trees may need assessment every 2-3 years. Any tree showing symptoms of disease, damage, or decline should be evaluated immediately by a certified arborist.
