When a tree has to go

Some trees cannot be saved by a trim.

A split trunk, a hard lean after a storm, roots lifting the slab or a canopy that is mostly dead wood are all signs the tree is past fixing. Waiting usually means it comes down on its own terms, on a wall, a car or the roof.

Taking it out on purpose is safer and cleaner. Tree removal in Chandler also comes up when drought stress, borers or root rot in heavy clay soil have already killed the tree from the inside.

Ready when you areHave a dead, leaning or overgrown tree that has to go? CGL Landscaping handles tree removal in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa and across the East Valley, taken down safely with the debris hauled away. Book a free on-site estimate or call (480) 219-0038.

Signs a tree may need removal
Why people remove trees

Reasons we get called to take a tree out.

Not every removal is an emergency, and plenty are planned months ahead. These are the six we see most around the East Valley.

Some are safety calls after monsoon season, and some are homeowners in Chandler, Gilbert or Queen Creek making room for a new pool, patio or yard. The way we take the tree down is the same either way.

01

Trees that do not fit the new plan taken out before the ground is graded.

02

Backfill and cleanup

Hole filled, soil leveled and the spot left ready for rock, sod or a new plant.

03

Dead and dying trees

Trees killed by drought, borers or old age taken out before limbs start falling.

04

Storm damage

Snapped trunks and trees pushed over by monsoon wind cut up and cleared.

05

Roots near the house

Trees whose roots are heading for the slab, pool or block wall.

06

Trees that outgrew the space or block the view, the light or the driveway.

Not sure it has to come out?

Sometimes a heavy trim or a move saves the tree. We will tell you honestly which one makes sense.

Before removal

We plan the fall line before anything moves.

Every removal starts with a look at what is around the tree: the house, the wall, the pool, the neighbor’s yard. We work out where each section comes down and how it leaves the property, then put the price in writing.

We also check the wood itself. A dead mesquite or a palo verde hollowed out by borers can break in unexpected places, so it gets cut in smaller pieces and more slowly than a healthy tree.

The removal

Five steps from standing tree to clear ground.

Big trees in tight yards come down a piece at a time. That is slower than felling it in one go, and it is the reason nothing else gets damaged.

Our crew uses chainsaws, ropes and our trailer to cut, lower and haul each section. Chandler yards are rarely open ground, so working around block walls and pool fences is part of the plan from the start.

01

Assess and quote

We check the tree, its lean and what is around it.

02

Protect the area

Nearby plants, rock and drip lines flagged and protected.

03

Limbs in sections

Branches cut and lowered in manageable pieces.

04

Trunk down

Trunk cut in rounds, low and controlled.

05

Haul and rake

Wood loaded out, stump cut or ground, yard raked.

After the tree is gone

Fill the gap with something that fits.

Once a tree comes out, the spot is usually bare dirt with a stump in it. We can grind the stump, plant a better suited tree nearby and finish the area with rock or sod, so it does not sit empty.

Replacing a thirsty non native tree with a desert species like a palo verde or ironwood can cut your water use. It will still grow into shade over time.

Removal pricing

The four things behind a removal price.

No two removals are the same job. We price each one after seeing the tree, based on these.

A small dead citrus in an open front yard and a mature eucalyptus leaning over a Chandler roofline are very different amounts of work. The haul off and stump work are always itemized so you can see where the money goes.

Size of the tree

Trunk width and height decide how many cuts and loads it takes.

Room to work

A tree in an open front yard is simpler than one against the house.

Condition of the wood

Dead and brittle trees need more care, because limbs break unpredictably.

What to do with the stump

Cut flush, ground below grade or left for later all change the total.

The written quote spells out the tree, the stump and the haul off.
What neighbors say

Chandler homeowners on their tree removals.

Google reviews from homeowners and businesses across Chandler and the East Valley who have hired CGL Landscaping. They are worth a look before you pick a crew.

A removal is loud, messy and happens close to the house. What people care about afterward is that nothing else got damaged and the yard was left clean.

Slick landscaping did a great job transforming our yard. Zach was professional and kept us updated throughout the process. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work. They completed everything quickly and efficiently. The final result looked clean and well done. Communication was excellent the whole time. I would definitely use them again.

Best landscapers I’ve ever had! I live in an HOA with very strict rules and they did an absolutely fabulous job. So thankful to have found them. Each of their employees are extremely hard working and even go above and beyond wiping off patio furniture and making every part of the front/backyard presentable. Can’t wait to see them again!

We’ve been working with CGL for nearly a year now, and they’ve been incredible. They helped us get our irrigation system back on track after our previous landscaper severely dropped the ball. Additionally, anytime we had an emergency leak, they were on-site within a few hours at most. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and quality of work have been outstanding. It's also nice to work with someone like Jose and can answer all of your questions and explain everything in such detail to ensure you understand the issue(s) at hand. Highly recommend!

I recently hired CGL Landscaping for sod installation at my home in Phoenix, and they did a fantastic job. From the initial consultation to the final touches, their professionalism and expertise were evident. They prepared the soil and installed high-quality, lush sod that transformed my yard. CGL Landscaping's attention to detail and customer service set them apart. They ensured proper irrigation, provided aftercare instructions, and even followed up to check on the sod's progress. The project was completed on time and within the estimated timeframes Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with CGL Landscaping. Their commitment to quality and outstanding customer service have earned my trust and future business. I highly recommend them for any landscaping needs in the Phoenix area.

CGL Landscaping has been great to work with. We reached out to Jose to get an estimate for a one time clean up and monthly service. Jose and Alan showed up the next day to provide an estimate for both services. We elected to move forward with CGL and the clean up crew was out the following day to complete services. Two weeks later, the monthly maintenance crew showed up to complete our first monthly service. Invoicing and payment is easy through an online portal. Jose and Alan were both responsive throughout the process and were accessible via text, email or phone call. So far we are very pleased with our services through CGL and would recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping services.

CGL landscaping made the process super easy from start to finish. Jose came out quickly to give me a proposal and I got it the same day. Scheduling was also very easy, and my project was done on time. Would recommend CGL to anyone if you’re looking for great work and great customer service.

I used to use another landscaping company and they never did the job right, along with that the communication was not there, never got returned calls and it was impossible to reach someone. Then I found CGL Landscaping. They were quick to come out for a free estimate and communication was always and still there. One of the office workers, Alan, is always there to answer and if he doesn't, he is quick to respond. Thank you CGL for 3 great years and many more to come!

SUPER TOP NOTCH COMPANY Best experience, Jose was kind and understanding of my situation. I had LNR landscaping put in synthetic turf in my front yard, did a horrible job. After months of trying to get them to come back, after they’ve been paid in full to fix it. They stopped returning phone calls , never kept set appointments to come and fix it. I called Jose and they blew me away, they came right away, crew was all friendly and got the job done quickly. They went above and beyond I was just thinking they to fix what was there but the job was so bad they removed it all and replaced the whole area. Definitely will recommend to everyone I know. Thanks Jose and team that came today you made my nightmare a beauty that I can now enjoy when I walk out my door.

I worked with Jose and his team and found them to be professional, courteous and trustworthy. My yard looks amazing. Jose was patient with me as I made a few changes from my original design. The trees they planted are looking healthy as well as the flower bed, Jose offered to provided care to my front yard and it turned out awesome. He also offered to made a nice area for my dog it turned out great. My plan is to continue with CGL Landscaping for maintenance. Thank you Jose for a job well done. Linda Coolidge, AZ

I rarely, if ever, write reviews let alone give someone a 5-star rating unless they REALLY deserve it. We interviewed 4 landscaping companies before we selected Creative Green Landscaping. We chose them because they were very knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable from our very first meeting. Jose (the owner) made it clear that our satisfaction was their number one goal. He definitely followed through and they did a beautiful job. They started the work immediately and throughout the project they showed up early and stayed late. They worked hard and provided quality work. When we decided last minute to make changes, they were flexible and helpful. We have had our fair share of negative contractor experiences, so we appreciate good and honest firms like Creative Green Landscaping. We highly recommend them for your project.
Questions

Removal questions, answered.

Ask us anything else when we come out to look at the tree in person. That visit costs you nothing.

These are the tree removal questions we get most from Chandler homeowners. They cover warning signs, stumps, tight yards and storm damage.

Look for a split or hollow trunk, a new lean, mostly dead branches or soil lifting around the base. We will confirm it on site and tell you if a trim could save it instead.

Only if you want it. We can cut it close to the ground or grind it out below grade so the spot can be planted or covered.

Usually, yes. Close trees get taken down in small sections so nothing drops on the roof or wall. If a tree is beyond what our crew can do safely, we will tell you on the visit.

Yes. Every limb, log and leaf gets loaded out, and the area is raked before we leave.

Yes. Downed and split trees get cut up and cleared, same day where the schedule allows.

Often. Taking out a dying or crowded tree gives the neighboring trees more light, water and room to grow.

Where we work

Tree removal across Chandler and the East Valley.

From our Chandler base to homes and businesses across Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe and San Tan Valley. Ahwatukee and Queen Creek are part of our regular area too.

Monsoon season hits the whole East Valley at once, and downed trees pile up fast after a big storm. We work through storm calls across Maricopa County as fast as the schedule allows.

Remove or keep

Removal is not always the only answer.

Before we recommend taking a tree out, we look at the alternatives. Sometimes one of these gets you the same result with the tree still standing.

A healthy tree that has simply outgrown its spot is often worth a heavy trim or a transplant. A dead or structurally split tree is not, and we will say so plainly.

/01

Thinning and reducing the canopy can take enough weight off to keep it safe.

/02

A healthy tree in the wrong place can sometimes be dug up and moved.

/03

Full removal

Tree taken down, cut up and hauled away completely.

/04

Tree out and stump ground below grade in the same job.

REMOVAL
By the numbers

Careful work on your property.

Taking a tree down next to someone’s home is not a job to rush. We are a Chandler family business, our own crew does the cutting, and we treat your yard the way we would want ours treated.

You deal with the same people from the first look at the tree to the last rake of the yard. If something changes once the cutting starts, we tell you before it changes the price.
