Get Rid of Fallen Trees!

Trees are much heavier than they look. While weight depends on the type of tree, even a modest-sized one can weigh several tons. For example, a three-foot-wide hardwood tree we removed from a Rock Island home weighed more than 8 tons. That’s not something you can drag away with a rope or chainsaw.


That’s where we come in. At Rick’s Tree Service, we use heavy-duty machinery, expert rigging techniques, and experienced crews to quickly and safely remove fallen trees—no matter the size. If you’ve got a tree blocking your driveway, leaning dangerously, or scattered across your lawn after a storm, give us a call today.

Removing Dying Trees

Trees that are sick, dying, or structurally unsound pose a major risk to nearby homes, vehicles, power lines, and people. Worse, they can also spread disease to nearby healthy trees, putting your entire landscape at risk.


If you suspect a tree on your property is in poor health, don’t wait. Call Rick’s Tree Service, and our certified arborist will assess the situation. We’ll determine whether the tree can be saved through pruning or treatment—or if it needs to be removed. If removal is necessary, we’ll handle it carefully, cleanly, and with as little disruption to your property as possible.
