OUR SERVICES
Complete Tree Service Solutions
Tree Trimming and Pruning
Overgrown trees can become safety hazards and property damage risks. Our trimming services help maintain healthy growth, improve curb appeal, and reduce storm vulnerability. We trim branches near roofs, fences, or power lines using safe, strategic cuts — and our bucket truck allows us to reach areas many crews can't.

Benefits of Regular Trimming:
- Prevents falling limbs
- Encourages healthier tree growth
- Enhances sunlight for lawns and gardens
- Improves tree shape and structure
Tree Removal
When a tree is dead, diseased, leaning, or in a hazardous location, removal may be the safest option. We remove trees of all sizes — including those close to buildings or utility lines — using precision equipment to avoid damage to your property.

Our removal process includes:
- On-site safety assessment
- Controlled cutting and felling
- Full debris cleanup
- Optional stump grinding or backfill
- We also respond to emergency tree removal calls 24/7 in the event of storm damage or sudden tree failure.
Stump Grinding and Stump Removal
Tree stumps aren’t just unsightly — they can pose tripping hazards, attract pests, or interfere with landscaping plans. We offer stump grinding services for all tree types, using high-powered grinders to clear out the stump and roots efficiently.
Why remove tree stumps?
- Eliminates tripping and mowing hazards
- Frees up yard space
- Prevents insect infestations or fungus growth
- Prepares the area for new planting or surface material
We also offer backfill services to level out the area after grinding, so your yard is left clean, safe, and ready for use.
Cleanup and Hauling
After any tree work — trimming, removal, or storm cleanup — we don’t leave you with a mess. Shaffer Tree Service handles complete site cleanup, including heavy-duty log hauling thanks to our own log truck. This allows us to remove large trunks, branches, and debris efficiently, leaving your property spotless.

Our hauling services are ideal for:
- Post-storm tree debris
- Land clearing
- Firewood removal
- Lot preparation
Backfill and Ground Restoration
After stump grinding or root removal, you’re often left with a hole or uneven patch of soil. We offer backfill services to restore your lawn or landscape — leveling the area and preparing it for grass, mulch, or paving. We’ll make sure your property looks clean and finished when the job is done.
Hillside Clearing for Fire Regulation
In fire-prone or rural areas, clearing overgrown brush and trees from hillsides is critical. We offer fire regulation clearing services that help reduce wildfire risk and bring your property into compliance with safety codes. This is especially valuable for homeowners in wooded or elevated areas.
Residential and Commercial Tree Services
No job is too big or too small for Shaffer Tree Service. We work with:

- Single-family homeowners
- Rental property owners and landlords
- HOAs and residential communities
- Small businesses and commercial properties
- Farms, estates, and undeveloped landowners

Whether you need one tree trimmed or multiple acres cleared, we tailor our approach to your goals and your property.
