Permits First, Chainsaws Second

In Des Moines, Iowa, you can’t just start chopping. Depending on where the tree is located (especially near sidewalks or city property), you may need a city-issued tree removal permit. For this project, we secured the required permit before lifting a single tool — no legal risks, no fines, no surprises.

The Job: Residential Lot, Fully Grown Tree

The client had a fully mature tree threatening nearby power lines and fencing. Once we got the green light from the city, our crew went in fast. Using proper rigging, we lowered large branches safely, preventing lawn damage and protecting the property.

What Happens After the Cut?

We don’t leave a mess behind. After the tree was taken down:

• Logs were neatly sectioned and loaded for haul-off

• Branches were chipped for mulch

• Stump was marked for optional grinding

Homeowner approved — clean yard, safer property.
