What We Do

Complete Tree Care
From the Ground Up

We handle everything — from removing a single dangerous limb to clearing an entire lot. Residential, commercial, emergency work.

Tree Removal

Complete tree removal, any size. We bring it down safely, cut it up, haul it away. Yard left cleaner than we found it.

Tree Trimming

Crown thinning, deadwood removal, shaping — we keep your trees healthy, safe, and looking sharp year-round.

Stump Grinding

Don't trip over that stump for another decade. We grind it flush to grade so you can mow right over it.

Shrub Removal

Overgrown bushes and shrubs removed cleanly. We pull them out by the root so they don't come back.

Bucket Truck Service

For the tall, tricky, or dangerous jobs. Our bucket truck reaches what ground crews can't — safely and efficiently.

Power Washing

Driveways, decks, siding, fences. We blast away years of grime and leave it looking new. Available with any service.

"I called for a quote on two large, diseased ash trees, and Mike came out the next day. He was professional, friendly, and did exactly as promised at a reasonable price. Our trees came down today and his crew did an excellent job on cleanup."

"Mike & his crew were outstanding. Their services were timely, efficient and reasonable in cost. They trimmed four large mature trees on my property as well as fully removing a mature maple. I highly recommend Rumble Bee Tree Service & will use them again."
