Tree Removal Provo, UT 84601 | Provo Tree Service

Provo's brick Victorian homes and tree-lined streets below Mount Timpanogos sit under some of the Wasatch Front's biggest maples, elms, and spruces, and every winter those heavy wet snows and canyon winds bring down limbs and whole trees. Provo Tree Service has been removing trees, grinding stumps, and trimming branches across Provo and the surrounding area for years, and we know exactly what happens when a Norway maple gets loaded with ice or when a Siberian elm splits under wind.

Whether you're in the historic neighborhoods around Joaquin or Maeser, the student housing near BYU, the brick ramblers across the valley, or the newer two-story homes spreading into Lehi and Saratoga Springs, our crews show up fast when a tree threatens your roof, blocks your driveway, or just needs professional attention. Call us at (385) 283-6415 for a free estimate, and we'll handle the rest.

Tree Service in Provo (84601)

Provo's landscape is defined by its trees and its terrain. You've got mature maples and elms on wide streets in the historic core, Colorado blue spruces and Austrian pines in the older residential blocks, and newer mixed plantings of crabapple, Callery pear, and ornamental shrubs in the subdivisions climbing toward Saratoga Springs and Vineyard. The Wasatch benches above town are thick with Gambel oak and juniper. Utility lines run along rear lot lines on almost every property, and the mountains rise right behind your house, which means wind funnels down the canyons hard and fast, especially in late fall and spring. Wet snow in April and May is the killer: it loads up on those big branches, and the wood fails. Trees also fail from root competition in tight urban lots, from old storm damage that never got properly pruned, and from the sheer age of some of the specimens planted in the 1920s and 1930s.

Our team has trimmed and removed thousands of trees in Provo and the surrounding communities. We understand the local species, the soil, the wind patterns, and the tight spaces between houses and power lines. We're fully insured, and we work carefully around your property and your neighbors' properties.

How a Job Works in Provo

You call us at (385) 283-6415 or request a free estimate online. We schedule a time to visit your Provo property and assess the tree or trees in question. We'll look at the species, size, health, proximity to your house or garage, overhead lines, fences, and neighboring properties. If it's an emergency (a tree down on your roof, a dangerous hanging limb, or a split trunk threatening to fall), we can often respond the same day. We'll explain what we recommend, give you a clear price, and answer any questions about permits or HOA approval if those apply to your situation.

On the day of the work, our crew arrives with the right equipment for the job. We'll fell the tree safely in sections, use a bucket truck or rope work if we're near power lines or structures, grind the stump if you want it gone, and haul away all the debris. Provo lots are often tight and close to neighbors, so we work methodically and keep the noise and disruption to a minimum. We'll clean up thoroughly when we're done and do a final walkthrough with you to make sure the job is complete.

A small tree removal (under 30 feet, easy access) typically runs $400 to $800. A large mature maple or elm (60 feet or taller, near structures or lines) can run $1,500 to $3,500 or more. Stump grinding starts at $150 for a small stump and goes up from there depending on size and wood hardness. Tree trimming and pruning runs from $250 for a basic crown cleaning to $1,000 or more for a large, complex job. Hedge trimming and shrub care start at $45 and scale with the size of the hedge. The main cost drivers are the tree's height and species, whether we need a bucket truck or crane, how close it is to power lines or your house, how much debris there is, and how urgently you need the work done. We offer free estimates for tree removal and emergency service, so call (385) 283-6415 or request an estimate online and we'll give you an honest price with no surprises.

Why do so many trees fail in Provo in spring and early summer?

Wet snow in April and May is the biggest culprit. When heavy, wet snow loads onto the branches of a big maple or spruce, the wood can't support the weight and splits or breaks. We also see failures from wind funneling down from the Wasatch canyons, especially on exposed properties. Trees that were damaged in previous storms and never properly pruned are especially vulnerable. If you see a cracked branch, a split crotch, or a tree leaning after a storm, call us right away at (385) 283-6415.

What do I do if a tree falls on my house or car in Provo?

Call us immediately at (385) 283-6415. We offer emergency tree service 24/7 in Provo and the surrounding area. We'll come out, assess the damage, make sure the tree is stable and safe, and remove it as quickly as possible so your insurance adjuster can access the damage. In many cases, we can have a crew at your property within a few hours of your call.

How much does it cost to remove a large tree in Provo?

A large mature tree (50 to 80 feet) typically costs $1,500 to $3,500 to remove, depending on the species, how close it is to your house or power lines, and how much debris there is. A smaller tree (30 to 50 feet) usually runs $400 to $1,200. The best way to know is to call us for a free estimate at (385) 283-6415. We'll assess the specific tree and give you a firm price.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Provo?

Yes, in many cases. Provo and the surrounding cities have local tree removal ordinances that may require a permit for trees above a certain diameter (DBH), and some species like oak and heritage trees may have extra protection. Check with the City of Provo website at https://www.provo.org for specific rules, or call us and we'll help you figure out what you need. We handle the permit process for many jobs, and we'll coordinate with the city if required.

What if my neighbor's tree branches hang over my property line in Provo?

Utah property law allows you to trim branches that overhang your property back to the property line, but you cannot cross onto your neighbor's property to do it. We can trim overhanging branches from your side. If the tree is large or close to power lines, or if you want to avoid conflict with your neighbor, we recommend having a conversation first or asking your neighbor to hire a professional to do the work. If your property is in an HOA community, check your CC&Rs, because some HOAs require approval for visible tree work.

Are you fully insured and covered for liability if something goes wrong during tree work at my house?

Yes. Provo Tree Service is fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We carry the insurance needed to protect your property and our crew. You can work with us with confidence knowing that we're properly covered.

When is the best time to trim trees in Provo?

Late winter and early spring (February through April) is ideal for most trees in Provo, because the trees are dormant and we can see the structure clearly. Avoid heavy pruning in late summer or fall, because it can stimulate new growth that won't harden off before winter. For storm-damaged branches or dead wood, we can prune any time. If you're worried about a tree after a heavy snow or wind event, call us at (385) 283-6415 and we'll assess it right away.
