24/7 Emergency Tree Removal Service and Hurricane Damage Cleanup

With hurricane season coming up in Maui, emergency tree removal is sometimes a needed service. Pruning low-hanging branches on mango trees, monkeypod trees, olive trees, and avocado trees among many others is critical. We recommend preventative service as this can save your home or driveway from being a target for a branch that will fall in a storm. Sometimes entire trees get knocked down, especially junk trees such as African tulips (these trees also kill bees and are very invasive), gunpowder trees, hale koa, and others. We have access to over 40 years of experienced arborists who have the skills to prune your beloved trees just the right amount to promote health and vitality while taking into consideration the objects and human lives below them that could be endangered by a falling tree limb.

Pruning Coconut Trees

It’s also a good time to consider pruning your coconut trees and taking the low fronds (I have a client in Haiku who had a good friend get killed by a falling coconut, humans are 5x as likely to get killed by a falling coconut than a shark). Dead and dying branches are particularly susceptible to getting broken off during a storm. We’re well-equipped to handle any tree project, large or small. We also don’t use spikes unless we’re completely removing a tree because spikes degrade the tree. I see coconut trees all the time that have been spiked and the cavities from the spikes get larger over time eventually rendering the tree unclimbable. I just saw a friend the other night who had a coconut tree break under him some years ago and it almost cost him his life. If you do find someone willing to climb a dangerous tree, you’ll likely end up paying them an arm and a leg.

Benefits Of Pruning

When we prune, we’re optimizing the tree’s health by increasing sunlight and airflow. Trees often get planted too close together and 1 tree shades another tree. We can target specific areas of the tree we’re pruning so its valuable neighbors get full sunlight. We also have access to some great genetics through our connections with nurseries and organic farmers on the island. If you would like help with your food forest, we can help design your orchard and landscape including structures as it’s best if everything is done under 1 roof so all the moving parts work together. I personally recommend planting cacao, dwarf coconuts, mangosteen, durian, citrus, lychee, and big buttery avocados among other exotics. If your trees look sickly, we can provide a good trim and make some suggestions. The issues are most likely in the soil, and lack of nutrients. This is easily fixable if caught early enough, the more you wait the bigger the problem becomes. If your tree is holding water, I would suggest drilling a drainage hole because standing water will rot the trunk and eventually kill the tree.
