When a Tree Has to Come Down, We're the Ones to Call
While we wish every tree could be saved, the truth is that sometimes removal is the safest and most responsible choice – especially here in places like Truckee, Tahoe City, Olympic Valley, and Incline Village, where weather, elevation, and lot conditions can make trees vulnerable or hazardous.
Whether a tree is posing a risk to your home, threatening nearby structures, or simply declining beyond recovery, you can count on Arbor Solutions to handle the removal quickly, safely, and with as little disruption as possible. Our crew is trained to work efficiently in tight mountain lots and steep terrain, and we have the equipment to do it right.
Our tree removal services include:
Standard Tree Removal
We will either climb your tree, fell it (if there’s room), or use a crane to remove the tree. Before starting, we’ll review our methods and explain what’s best for your property.
Hazard Tree Removal
Trees can become dangerous due to leaning, severe weather, or attacks from insects and diseases. We can handle these often-dangerous removals safely using specialized equipment and techniques.
Signs It’s Time to Remove a Tree
Trees will often display warning signs that they should be removed. Some of the common signs a tree may be dangerous and removal might be necessary include:
While these signs are cause for concern, removing a tree exhibiting these symptoms is not always necessary. Having an ISA Certified Arborist from Arbor Solutions conduct an arborist consultation can help you to learn more about how to save the tree before you consider removing it.

Tree Removal Permit Requirements Around Lake Tahoe
Homeowners in the Lake Tahoe area do not need a permit to remove a tree that has been declared dead by an expert. However, they may need to apply for a tree removal permit from the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency in other situations.
Other parts of the region have other requirements. For instance, the town of Truckee does not typically require tree removal permits for single-family residential properties.

FAQs
Typically, we work with conifer trees. The most common trees we remove in our area are white firs and Jeffrey pine, though we can remove any tree.
DIY tree removal is extremely risky, and many homeowners are injured or killed trying to remove a tree themselves. Leave tree removal to professionals with the proper equipment and training to handle the job.
While we’d love to talk with you on the day of removal, we know this isn’t always an option. We can remove your tree while you aren’t home.
No, we do not remove the stump after removing a tree. However, we understand that stumps can be unsightly and hazardous, so we offer stump grinding services as an additional option.
If you're interested in having the stump ground, please let us know, and we can provide you with a quote for this service.
