Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between emergency and hazardous tree removal?

    Emergency tree removal addresses immediate threats like storm damage or fallen trees requiring fast response. Hazardous tree removal handles trees that are diseased, leaning, or structurally unsafe before they become an urgent problem. At Willett's Forest and Property Maintenance, we assess both situations with careful planning to protect your property.
  • How deep does stump grinding go below ground?

    Stump grinding typically removes the stump several inches below grade, which restores usable space and prevents regrowth. This depth is safe for lawns and landscaped areas while eliminating tripping hazards and pest attraction. At Willett's, we assess each site to determine the best grinding approach for your property needs.
  • Can you start mowing services partway through the season?

    Yes, clients can be added at any point during the mowing season. Many homeowners in Sutton, NH begin with spring or fall cleanups and then add seasonal mowing for ongoing maintenance. Willett's offers flexible scheduling to fit your property care needs whenever you're ready.
  • What does tree removal cleanup include?

    Tree removal cleanup is handled as part of the job if requested. Clean up includes removal of branches, wood, and debris from your property. The goal is to leave your space clean and ready to use with minimal disruption. At Willett's, efficient cleanup is a standard part of every tree removal service.

  • When should you schedule fall cleanup in New Hampshire?

    Fall cleanup is best scheduled after most leaves have dropped but before snow arrives, typically mid-October through November in central New Hampshire. This timing prepares your property for winter and prevents debris buildup. Willett's provides timely service with attention to seasonal changes in the Sutton area.
  • Why is removing a leaning tree important?

    A leaning tree often signals root damage, structural weakness, or soil instability, which increases the risk of falling onto homes or vehicles. Removing it before failure prevents property damage and safety hazards. At Willett's, we carefully plan hazardous tree removal to minimize risk to nearby structures and landscaping.
  • What's included in an excavation site work estimate?

    An excavation estimate includes an onsite evaluation, project scope, timeline, and clear pricing for site preparation work. This supports landscaping, access improvements, and outdoor projects with precise planning. Willett's provides detailed quotes to ensure long-lasting results for residential and light commercial needs.
  • How quickly can emergency tree removal be scheduled?

    Emergency tree removal is prioritized for fast response, especially after storms or when trees threaten homes and driveways. Willett's offers onsite evaluation and priority scheduling to address urgent safety concerns quickly. Fully insured service is performed with care to protect your property during unstable situations.
  • Does stump grinding prevent tree regrowth?

    Yes, grinding the stump below grade removes the main root structure and significantly reduces the chance of regrowth. It also eliminates the stump as a habitat for pests and creates usable lawn space. Willett's stump grinding is ideal after tree removal or for addressing existing stumps on your property.
  • What should you do before a tree removal service?

    Clear the area around the tree of vehicles, outdoor furniture, and valuables to allow safe equipment access. Communicate any concerns about nearby landscaping or structures during the onsite estimate. At Willett's, we handle planning and cleanup, making the process straightforward and minimizing disruption to your Sutton, NH property.
  • How does snow removal scheduling work for winter?

    Snow removal scheduling is typically arranged seasonally before winter begins, ensuring timely response during snow events. Services keep driveways, parking areas, and access points clear for safety and accessibility. Willett's offers easy billing options and reliable service for both residential and commercial properties throughout central New Hampshire winters.
  • What's the biggest mistake people make with hazardous trees?

    The biggest mistake is waiting too long to remove a visibly damaged or leaning tree, increasing the risk of sudden failure. Early removal is safer and often less costly than emergency response after a tree falls. At Willett's, we provide professional assessments to identify and address hazardous trees before they become urgent threats.
