Our Comprehensive Services

At Up Tree Care, we understand that each tree is unique, requiring tailored care and attention. We strive to provide our clients with a wide range of services to address every aspect of tree health and maintenance.

Tree Removal: We specialize in the safe and efficient removal of trees that are diseased, dying, dead, or pose a hazard to your property. Our arborists utilize advanced felling techniques, ropes, and rigging in our high-angle removal systems to dismantle trees with precision and ensure minimal impact on surrounding landscaping.

Tree Pruning: Proper pruning is essential for maintaining the long-term health, structural integrity, and aesthetic appeal of trees. Our team adheres to ANSI 300 pruning guidelines, making the right cuts, the right way. We primarily employ rope-based tree climbing techniques to access the entire canopy, minimizing the use of heavy equipment and preserving the health of your lawn.

Tree Cabling and Bracing: Certain trees benefit from structural support to ensure their stability and longevity. We assess the individual needs of your trees and secure weak limbs or branches to stronger ones using either steel cables or dynamic, high-tensile polypropylene (COBRA) cables. These cables provide lasting support, reducing the risk of limb or trunk failure. We also offer effective staking for younger, developing trees.

Consulting Services: Our comprehensive consultations serve as the foundation for developing a personalized tree care plan. Promptly responding to requests across the Flathead Valley, we conduct thorough tree and site analyses, identifying potential health concerns, risk factors, and the specific needs of both mature and young trees. Detailed work quotes are always included in a consultation, ensuring transparency and informed decision-making.

Storm Damage Restoration: Severe weather events can leave trees damaged or even fallen, posing a potential hazard to your home, property, and power lines. Up Tree Care excels in handling storm damage cleanup. We utilize man lifts, cranes, and rigging to carefully remove fallen trees, minimizing damage to surrounding structures and ensuring a safe environment. We also offer restoration pruning for trees that have sustained storm damage but remain standing, promoting their recovery and long-term health.

Forest Health Management: Do you have a forested property? Up Tree Care understands the unique demands of maintaining forest health. We offer comprehensive forest health programs that include disease assessment, strategic removal of dead limbs and ladder fuels, proper tree spacing, and structure clearance. These practices promote healthy forest ecosystems and minimize the risk of wildfire.
