How the tree comes down
Tight access: a climber rigs it down in sections, lowered on ropes.
Over the house: a lift or crane takes each cut clear of the roof.
Big trees, tight yards, nothing left behind
The price is written before we start. Insurance paperwork goes to you or your insurer the day you ask. The yard is raked back the way it was. If the tree does not need to come down, the estimate says so.

A tree stays when
One limb is dead
A clean-out costs a fraction of a removal and buys the tree years.
It is an ash you can treat
With more than half its canopy, injection usually beats removal and replanting.
The union is split
Cabling holds trunks that pruning cannot, on a tree worth keeping.
It leans
Most old leans are old news. Soil heaving at the base is the warning.
A tree goes when
The base is hollow
Sound wood left in the shell decides it, and that is measured, not guessed.
It is dead and over something
Deadwood turns brittle fast. Over a driveway or a bedroom, time is not on your side.
The roots are cut or heaving
A trench through the root plate, or soil lifting on the far side, is a stability problem.
It is the wrong tree for the spot
A silver maple three feet off the foundation ends one way. Later costs more than now.
What makes a removal expensive is rarely the tree
The house
Rigged down in sections over the roofline instead of felled.
The service line
The drop to the house is yours, not OPPD's. We work around it or have it dropped.
The turf
Mats over the lawn, trucks on pavement wherever the drive allows.
The fence and the neighbor
Most tight removals are decided by what is across the property line.
Reviews from Omaha homeowners

“Tyler was our crew foreman for a big tree removal project. He and his men did a wonderful job. They were courteous, on time, thorough, and did a good job cleaning up after themselves.”
Steve Gambaiana
“In the aftermath of the March 2025 windstorm, I had two large, damaged pine trees that posed a potential hazard to my home and surrounding property.”
Tess Cramer
“We have always used Eden Tree Pros for all of our tree trimming needs, and for iron treatments for our birch tree. We won't use anyone else. They have earned our trust.”

Common questions about removing a tree in Omaha
How much does tree removal cost in Omaha?
Size drives it, but access decides it. The same tree in an open front yard and behind a locked gate with a shed under it are two different jobs, and the second costs more. That is why the estimate is free and comes to you in writing before anyone starts.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Omaha?
Trees on private property generally do not need one. Trees in the public right-of-way, the strip between the sidewalk and the street, belong to the city, and removing one is the city's call. If you are not sure which side of that line your tree is on, we will tell you on the estimate.
Will you damage my lawn or driveway?
Mats go over the turf, trucks stay on pavement wherever the driveway allows, and the crane sets on the hardest ground available. On a soft spring lawn we will sometimes recommend waiting for a freeze or a dry week.
Does homeowners insurance cover tree removal?
Usually only after something has happened. A healthy tree you want gone is on you. A tree that came down on a structure is often covered, and a hazardous tree that has not fallen yet generally is not. We will send your carrier our certificates and the written scope the same day.
How long does a removal take?
Most residential removals are a single day, and many are a morning. Cranes are scheduled tighter because the machine is booked by the hour, so those start early and finish before lunch.
