What Tariq does
The dangerous tree down. The yard rebuilt. The same set of hands.
See it for yourself
A 62-foot oak, six feet from the bedroom. Drag to see it gone.
You would never know a tree stood here.
Red oak · 62 ft · 6 ft from house · removed in 1 day
Owner on every job
The man who quotes it is the man in the tree .
No salesman, no rotating crew of subs who never saw your property. Tariq walks the job, gives you the number, and is the one up in the rigging the day it comes down. One person, accountable start to finish.
- Same face from estimate to cleanup
- Decisions made on-site, not phoned in
- Nothing lost in a handoff between crews
No surprise bills
Never more than a one-third deposit . That is PA law, not our promise.
The deposit-and-ghost move that burns homeowners is illegal here, and we run the way the law is written. One written price after Tariq sees it, cleanup included, and you are never asked for more than a third up front.
- Capped deposit, by Pennsylvania statute
- One written number, cleanup in it
- No "the cleanup was extra" at the end
The same hands
Most crews leave a crater. We rebuild the space the tree left.
Most crews take the tree and leave you a stump and a scar, then you go hunt for a landscaper. Tariq does both. The hands that rig the takedown grade the ground and plant the bed back, so the spot gets finished, not just cleared.
- Removal and landscape, one company
- No second crew to schedule or chase
- The yard ends better than it started
How a job goes
Four steps. You know the price and the plan before the saw starts.
One crew, one number, one date. From the first look to the last rake, you always know exactly where the job stands.
- 01
Free estimate, in person
Tariq comes out, looks at the actual tree, and tells you straight what it needs. One written number, no charge to look.
- 02
Scheduled fast
You get a real date, not a maybe. Hazard and storm calls jump the line.
- 03
Safe takedown
Rigged and lowered in sections near the house, not dropped. Roof, fence, and lawn protected before a saw starts.
- 04
Total cleanup
Brush chipped, wood handled your way, ruts raked out. You would never know a tree stood there.

Straight answers
What homeowners ask before they book
Still not sure? Call or text Tariq and ask. No pressure, no sales script, just a straight answer about your tree.
What does tree removal cost?
It depends on the size, the lean, and how close it is to the house or the lines. A small backyard tree is not a crane job. Tariq gives you one written price after he sees it, and that is the price, cleanup included.
How soon can you come out?
Free estimates usually within a few days. A tree that is an active hazard, on a structure or blocking a drive, jumps the line and gets a same-week answer.
A storm dropped a tree on my house. Can you help with insurance?
Yes. Handle the immediate danger first, then photograph everything for your claim. Tariq gives an itemized estimate an adjuster can read and can work alongside the claim.
Do I need a permit to take down a tree in Centre County?
On your own private property, usually not. Trees in a right-of-way, an easement, or a borough historic district can be different. If a permit applies, Tariq will tell you before any work starts.
Do you really do the landscaping too, or just the tree?
Both. The same hands that take the tree down can grade the spot and build the bed back. That is the whole point, you are not left with a scar and a second company to find.
What happens to the wood and the chips?
Your call. Wood cut to firewood length and stacked, or hauled off. Chips left as mulch for your beds, or taken away. It gets raked clean either way.
