Frequently Asked Questions about tree service
Frequently Asked Questions about Emergency Tree Removal
How quickly can you provide an estimate for tree work?
We typically provide same-day or next-day estimates for most tree work requests in Moline. One of our ISA-certified arborists will visit your property to assess the trees, discuss your needs and concerns, and provide a detailed written estimate with no obligation. For emergency situations, we can often provide phone estimates and begin work immediately with your approval.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we carry comprehensive commercial general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage for all crew members. We're fully licensed for tree work in Illinois, and we provide certificates of insurance naming your property as additional insured upon request. This protects you from any liability if accidents occur during tree work on your property.
Do you offer emergency tree services?
We provide 24/7 emergency tree removal and storm damage response across the Quad Cities with typical response times under 2 hours. Our emergency line is answered around the clock, every day of the year. We maintain on-call crews with equipment staged for rapid deployment when trees fall or create immediate hazards to property and safety.
Do you need permits to remove trees in Moline?
Moline may require permits for tree removal in certain situations, particularly for trees in public rights-of-way or protected parkway trees. We're familiar with local ordinances and can advise whether permits are needed for your project. In most cases for trees on private property away from streets and easements, permits aren't required, but we verify requirements for each job.
How much does tree removal cost in Moline?
Tree removal costs vary widely based on size, location, accessibility, and complexity - typically ranging from $400 for small trees to $3,000 or more for large specimens requiring crane work. We provide free estimates after evaluating your specific trees and site conditions. Factors affecting cost include tree height and diameter, proximity to structures, access for equipment, and whether stump grinding is included.
How long does tree work typically take?
Most residential tree removal jobs are completed in 3-8 hours depending on tree size and complexity. Pruning visits for multiple trees may take a full day. Stump grinding is usually 30-60 minutes per stump. Large projects like land clearing or extensive storm cleanup may take several days. We provide time estimates with your quote and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your property and schedule.
How quickly can you respond to tree emergencies in Moline?
We provide 24/7 emergency tree removal with response times typically under 2 hours across Moline and the Quad Cities. Our on-call crews are available every day of the year, including weekends and holidays, with equipment staged for rapid deployment when storms strike or trees fail unexpectedly.
Will my homeowners insurance cover emergency tree removal?
Most homeowners insurance policies cover emergency tree removal when a tree damages a structure, blocks access, or creates an immediate hazard. We document all damage with photos and detailed reports to support your insurance claim, and we can work directly with adjusters to streamline the process and get approval before starting work.
Can you remove trees that have fallen on power lines?
Trees involving active power lines must be handled by utility companies first to de-energize the lines safely. Once power is disconnected, we can remove the tree. We maintain strong working relationships with Ameren and other Quad Cities utilities to coordinate response, and we often work alongside utility crews during major storm events to expedite restoration.
What's the process for emergency tree removal in tight spaces?
Removing fallen trees in tight spaces requires specialized rigging and piece-by-piece dismantling. Our crews use ropes, pulleys, and cranes to control the removal of each section, preventing additional damage to structures, fences, and landscapes. We've successfully removed trees from between houses, over garages, and in areas with limited access throughout Moline's established neighborhoods.

After the severe storms last spring, we had a massive oak partially fallen on our garage. Tree Service in Moline had a crew here within 90 minutes and safely removed the tree without any further damage. Their professionalism during a stressful situation was outstanding.

We've used them for annual tree trimming at our apartment complex for three years now. Their crews are always professional, work efficiently, and the properties look great when they're done. Highly recommend for commercial property management.

They saved our ash trees with EAB treatment when other companies said we should just remove them. Two years later the trees are thriving. Really appreciated their honest assessment and expertise with tree health issues.
