Top 5 Benefits of Professional Tree Removal
1. Safety
Tree removal is one of the most dangerous tasks a property owner can undertake. Falling trees and branches are unpredictable, chainsaws are unforgiving, and working at height adds additional risk. Our trained operators use proper safety equipment, rigging techniques, and controlled felling methods to safely bring down trees of all sizes. We protect people, structures, and landscaping throughout the removal process, giving you peace of mind that the job will be done safely.
2. Emergency Storm Response
When storms hit the Memphis and Millington area, fallen trees can block driveways, damage homes, take out power lines, and create dangerous situations. Modern Shovel LLC provides emergency storm response to clear hazards quickly and help you begin the recovery process. We understand the urgency of storm damage situations and prioritize calls based on safety risk and accessibility. Our fleet and equipment are always maintained and ready for rapid deployment.
3. Complete Property Restoration
Tree removal is just the beginning - the real value is in restoring your property to a usable, attractive condition. Our services include debris cleanup, stump grinding, grading of the disturbed area, and coordination with our landscaping and sod installation teams to restore the site. We can even plant replacement trees in more appropriate locations, ensuring your property maintains its tree canopy and visual appeal.
4. Property Protection
Dead, diseased, and structurally compromised trees pose ongoing risks to your home, vehicles, and family. A large tree falling on a house can cause hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. Proactive removal of hazardous trees eliminates this risk before disaster strikes. Our team can assess your property's trees and identify which ones pose risks, helping you make informed decisions about removal versus preservation.
5. Insurance Documentation
When storm damage occurs, you need documentation for your insurance claim. Modern Shovel LLC provides before-and-after photos, detailed descriptions of work performed, and professional invoices that insurance companies accept. We have experience working with insurance adjusters and can provide the information they need to process your claim efficiently. Our professional documentation helps ensure you receive fair compensation for storm damage cleanup.
