Hayes Logging.

The fit is homes rather than development sites. A tree that has grown too close to a roof, a garage or a power drop is the kind of job a residential tree removal contractor takes on, and so is cleanup after wind or heavy snow has split limbs across a yard. Hayes Logging travels roughly 25 miles from its base, which from Elk reaches toward Mead, Spokane and the north side of the valley. Large commercial land clearing is a different kind of work, and a focused tree removal business fits a single property better than a subdivision. Repair versus replace looks different with trees than with a roof, because a tree can't be put back. On a Spokane-area lot the real question is whether a damaged or declining tree can be pruned and kept, or whether it is a hazard that should come out. Ponderosa pines and older ornamental trees near houses often show trouble through dead tops, cracked trunks, or roots heaved after a wet spring. A tree with a single broken limb may only need careful pruning. A tree leaning over a structure, hollow at the base, or split at a major fork is usually a removal. Ask the contractor to explain what they see before you decide, and settle whether stump work and debris hauling are part of the job.
