We take extra care around historic homes on Buell St, where older structures need careful protection during removal.

Our Tree Removal Process with Safety Focus
Iconic Tree Care assess each tree, property, and access point before removing trees. Our team adjusts the plan for tight lots, older homes, utilities, and local requirements.
Initial Tree Assessment
Our arborist examines the trunk, crown, roots, decay, lean, and nearby structures. We use these findings to select the right removal method.
Permit Check
We check Burlington’s tree removal rules and handle applicable zoning permits for larger projects. For example, removing six or more trees at least 10 inches in diameter may require a permit.
Preparing the Work Area
We move furniture, vehicles, and other items away from the work zone. Our crew protects lawns, garden beds, driveways, and nearby structures during the work.
Equipment Setup
Our crew positions ropes, harnesses, chainsaws, and rigging equipment based on site conditions. We may use crane-assisted equipment for large trees or restricted access.
Controlled Tree Removal
The crew lowers branches and wood sections with ropes when free-falling could damage nearby property. Our team takes extra care around roofs, fences, historic homes, and overhead utilities.
Debris Removal
We gather branches and wood after completing the removal. Our crew loads the debris and cleans the work area before leaving your property.
