Tree removal is more than cutting down a tree—it’s about protecting your property and restoring safety. At Empire, we take care of every detail, from initial assessment to stump removal and cleanup.
We specialize in removing trees that are dead, leaning, or structurally compromised. These trees often pose a risk to your home, garage, vehicles, or power lines and should be removed before disaster strikes.
Larger trees or those in tight spaces often require crane support. Our team uses specialized equipment to safely remove massive trees in sections without harming nearby structures or landscaping.
Dead trees become brittle and unpredictable. If you have a tree with no leaves, fungi at the base, or visible decay, our team can evaluate and safely remove it to prevent future damage.
Storms in Southern Maryland often leave behind broken branches and fallen trees. If a recent storm left your yard in chaos, we provide fast and safe cleanup and removal services—even during emergencies.
Planning a new fence, pool, or building project? We remove multiple trees and prepare your property for development with complete land and brush clearing services.
After a tree is removed, we offer professional stump grinding to eliminate trip hazards, pests, and unsightly stumps. We grind below grade to allow for replanting or landscaping.
Our expert crew has tackled tree removals of every size—from suburban backyards to wooded lots. With a deep understanding of Maryland tree species and local property layouts, we know how to work safely and efficiently in Hughesville.
