Tree Removal
Professional Tree Removal Service in Salt Lake City & Surrounding Areas
Removing a tree isn’t always something you plan for, but it’s something you want done right. Whether it’s leaning too close to your home, damaged by a storm, or simply past its prime, getting it safely out of the ground takes more than just a chainsaw.
At Thrive Landscape Services, we provide professional tree removal in Sandy, UT with safety, efficiency, and property protection at the core of every job. Our team works with homeowners, HOAs, and property managers to clear hazardous or unwanted trees with precision and care.

When Tree Removal Becomes Necessary
Not all trees need to go, but when one starts posing a risk—or becomes more of a liability than an asset—it’s time to take a closer look. If you’re unsure whether a tree should be removed, start by asking the right questions. Is the tree structurally sound? Is it interfering with utilities or building foundations? Is it showing signs of disease or death? Here are some common signs that removal might be the best option:
- Large cracks or visible decay at the base of the trunk
- Dead or dropping limbs that pose a hazard to people or property
- Tree leaning significantly or showing signs of root instability
- Severe pest infestation or disease that can spread to other trees
Professional Tree Cutting Service You Can Trust
Tree removal is dangerous work, especially in neighborhoods or tight residential spaces. That’s why our licensed crew uses the right equipment, harnesses, and techniques to bring trees down safely and cleanly.
Unlike general landscaping crews, our tree cutting service is trained specifically for safe tree removal, controlled felling, and precise branch sectioning. We also work to minimize disturbance to your yard, driveway, and surrounding landscape. Learn more about our full-service landscape maintenance to keep your property safe and healthy year-round.
What Happens After the Tree Is Gone?
Once the tree is removed, you’re often left with a stump that’s not just an eyesore—it’s also a tripping hazard and a magnet for pests. That’s why tree stump removal is a key part of the job.
We offer both grinding and full root removal options based on your plans for the space. If you’re planning to replant, install sod, or build in that area, we’ll make sure the soil is ready for its next purpose.
How Much to Remove a Tree?
Tree removal costs depend on several factors, including the size of the tree, the condition of the trunk and branches, the proximity to structures, and how easy it is to access the site. Generally, smaller trees are quicker and cheaper to remove, while large, complex removals (especially with crane work or climbing required) cost more. Our team provides clear, upfront pricing based on the scope of work. We offer site visits in Salt Lake City & Surrounding Areas to assess the tree and give you an accurate quote. There are no surprise charges, just straightforward service from start to finish.
How to Find a Good Tree Removal Service
Choosing the right tree removal contractor is about more than who has a truck and a saw. You need someone who is insured, experienced, and committed to safety—especially when working close to buildings, fences, or power lines. If you’re wondering how to find a good tree removal service, keep these questions in mind when hiring:
- Are they licensed and insured for tree work in Utah?
- Do they provide a written estimate and clear scope of work?
- What safety equipment and removal methods do they use?
- Can they handle stump removal as well?
- Do they clean up thoroughly after the job is done?
