Tree Removal
Safe, professional tree removal services for Santa Fe properties of all sizes.

When a tree becomes dangerous, diseased, or simply needs to go, you need professionals who know what they are doing. At SFT Santa Fe Tree Services, we have been helping Santa Fe homeowners and property managers with safe tree removal since 2024. Whether you are dealing with storm damage, a dying tree, or just need to clear space for a new project, we handle everything from start to finish.
Why Professional Tree Removal Matters in Santa Fe
Removing a tree is not as simple as cutting it down. In Santa Fe, we deal with unique challenges like our high altitude, dry climate, and trees that grow close to homes and power lines. A tree that looks stable might have hidden root rot or structural damage you cannot see from the ground. That is where our expertise comes in.
Our certified arborists assess every tree before removal to identify potential hazards. We create a detailed removal plan that protects your property, your neighbors, and our crew. For complex removals, we use crane-assisted techniques that let us remove trees piece by piece without damaging surrounding structures.
When You Need Tree Removal Services
Not sure if your tree needs to come down? Here are the most common reasons homeowners in Santa Fe call us for tree removal:
- Storm Damage: Trees that have been damaged by wind, lightning, or heavy snow pose immediate danger and need quick removal.
- Disease or Decay: Diseased trees can spread problems to healthy trees and become structurally unsafe over time.
- Dangerous Location: Trees growing too close to your home, power lines, or structures create ongoing risk.
- Dead or Dying: Dead trees become brittle and unpredictable, making them a hazard waiting to happen.
- Construction Projects: Land clearing for additions, pools, or new landscaping often requires tree removal.
- Root Damage: Trees with invasive root systems can damage foundations, driveways, and underground utilities.
If you notice leaning, large dead branches, cracks in the trunk, or fungus growth, it is time to call for an assessment. We offer free quotes and can usually schedule your tree trimming and pruning or removal within days.
Our Tree Removal Process
We follow a systematic approach to every tree removal job, ensuring safety and efficiency from consultation to cleanup.
Step 1: Site Assessment
We visit your property to evaluate the tree, surrounding structures, and access points. This helps us determine the best removal method and identify any special equipment needs.
Step 2: Planning and Permits
Depending on your location and tree size, you might need permits from the City of Santa Fe. We guide you through the permit process and ensure all local regulations are met. Our team checks for underground utilities and maps out a safe removal path.
Step 3: Safe Removal
On removal day, our crew arrives with all necessary equipment. We typically remove trees in sections, starting from the top and working down. This controlled approach prevents damage to your property and gives us precise control over where each piece lands. For especially large or difficult trees, we bring in crane equipment for added safety.
Step 4: Cleanup and Disposal
After the tree is down, we clean up all debris and haul it away. You can also keep the wood for firewood if you prefer. Most customers opt for complete stump grinding and removal, which we can do immediately after tree removal or schedule for a later date.
