Tree removal is a big decision. Whether it be a dead or dying tree, beetle kill, invasive or hazardous trees near property, lot clearing for a new build, storm damage, or stand thinning for fire hazard reduction, Fishhook Tree Services offers safe, professional removal of trees.  

Main Reasons for Tree Removal:

- Safety Hazard: Tree is compromised and is a threat to life or property

- Construction activities require tree removal

- Storm damaged trees

- Fire Hazard: Reduce fire risk

- Home maintenance issues, such as sprawling roots or overhanging limbs

We understand the complexities and implications of felling trees.  Some may be tricky, while others "have to" fall in a specific location due to surrounding structures and hazards. Often times clients just need a challenging tree felled and they take over from there.  

Fishhook Tree Services gladly offers tree felling services. 

Stump removal or grinding is the process of removing the tree stump.  This is common for clients with lawns or those with landscaping projects, leaving the location of removed tree free of unsightly stumps or roots. 

Pruning is the process of  removing limbs over the course of a plants life.  When done properly and regularly, pruning can encourage good growth, structure, and maintain the plants health and beauty for years to come.  

Whether it be the cherished ornamental yard shrub, the annual upkeep of the family tree, or the simple removal of burdensome limbs, Fishhook Tree Services offers pruning services to ensure the proper long-term health for your trees.

Windthrow, storm damage, spruce beetle infestations, carpenter ants, leaf miner, root rot, and many other diseases and pests can render trees hazardous.  

Fishhook Tree Services have ISA certified arborists that can offer professional advice to best treat compromised or potentially hazardous trees. 

In light of our more frequent and intense fire seasons, stand thinning may be necessary.  By thinning out your stand of trees, it reduces  the available "fuel" for fire to burn, ultimately reducing the overall fire risk. 

Fishhook Tree Services offers effective stand thinning services to mitigate fire hazard to property owners.

With most kinds of tree care operations, chipping of slash or brush material is commonly involved and is done through the use of wood chippers.  

Whether it's a tree removal, a pruning job, or an old slash pile, Fishhook Tree Services offer chipping services. 

Firewood production is commonplace for our operations.  The opportunity for our clients to keep the firewood is a great option to save on tree care costs and lower their heating bills. 

Spruce beetles have taken a serious toll on our beloved spruce here in Southcentral Alaska.  We offer professional advice and service on how to best combat this devastating pest.
