When that problematic tree is gone, you’ll have the space you need for your next project. No more worrying about branches falling on your roof during the next storm. No more dead stumps attracting pests or taking up valuable yard space.
Your property looks clean and maintained again. The fire risk is eliminated – especially important here in Corte Madera where our dry climate makes defensible space crucial. You can finally use that corner of your yard for something better than working around a dangerous tree.
The whole job gets done right the first time. Complete removal, stump grinding, and thorough cleanup so you don’t have to deal with any of it.
1-877-DUMP-PRO has been handling tree removal throughout Marin County for years. We understand the unique challenges of working with Corte Madera’s diverse tree species – from the historic redwoods that gave our town its name to the coastal oaks that define our landscape.
Our crews are licensed, bonded, and insured because tree removal is serious work that requires serious protection. We’ve seen what happens when inexperienced operators try to handle big removals, and it’s not pretty.
Every job gets the same careful approach: proper assessment, safe removal techniques, and complete cleanup. No shortcuts, no surprises, no mess left behind for you to deal with.
First, we assess your tree and property to plan the safest removal approach. Every tree is different, and every property has its own challenges – power lines, structures, landscaping that needs protection.
Next, we bring in the right equipment for your specific job. Sometimes that’s a crane for tall trees near your house. Sometimes it’s specialized rigging to lower branches piece by piece. We use whatever it takes to get the job done without damaging anything you want to keep.
The tree comes down systematically and safely. All debris gets cleaned up and hauled away. If you want the stump ground down, we handle that too – right down to soil level so you can plant grass or start your next landscaping project immediately.

Your tree removal in Corte Madera includes complete removal of the tree, all branches, and debris. We bring our own equipment – cranes, chippers, trucks – whatever your job requires.
Stump grinding is available to completely clear the area. This is especially valuable here in Corte Madera where property values are high and every square foot of usable space matters. Ground stumps also prevent pest problems and eliminate fire hazards in our dry climate.
All debris gets hauled away the same day. You won’t have piles of branches sitting in your driveway for weeks. The job site gets cleaned up so thoroughly you’ll barely know we were there – except for the fact that your problem tree is gone.
We’re licensed and insured for your protection, and we can work around your schedule to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Tree removal costs in Corte Madera typically range from $200 to $2,000 depending on the size, location, and complexity of the job. Small trees under 30 feet usually cost less, while large trees over 80 feet require specialized equipment and more labor.
The final price depends on several factors: how close the tree is to your house, whether power lines are involved, and if stump grinding is included. Trees that can be dropped safely cost less than trees that need to be rigged down piece by piece.
We provide upfront estimates with no hidden fees so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Emergency removals after storms may cost more due to the urgent nature and potential hazards involved.
Corte Madera may require permits for removing certain trees, especially heritage trees or those over a specific size. The requirements can vary based on the tree species, size, and location on your property.
We’re familiar with local regulations and can help you understand what’s required for your specific situation. Some removals for safety reasons or dead trees may have different requirements than removing healthy trees for landscaping projects.
It’s always best to check with the city before starting any tree removal project. We can guide you through the permit process if one is needed, ensuring your removal is completed legally and properly.
Insurance coverage for tree removal depends on why the tree needs to be removed and your specific policy. If a storm damages a tree and it falls on your house, insurance typically covers both the tree removal and property repairs.
However, if you want a healthy tree removed for landscaping reasons, that’s usually not covered since it’s considered a maintenance expense. Dead or diseased trees that haven’t caused damage yet are also typically not covered.
The best approach is to contact your insurance company before scheduling removal if you think there might be coverage. We can provide documentation and photos to support your claim if the removal is related to storm damage or other covered events.
Most tree removals in Corte Madera are completed in one day. Small to medium trees typically take 2-4 hours, while large trees or complex removals near structures can take a full day.
The timeline depends on the tree’s size, location, and access to your property. Trees that need to be rigged down piece by piece take longer than trees that can be safely felled in one piece. Stump grinding adds another hour or two to the process.
Weather can affect scheduling, especially during Corte Madera’s windy periods when it’s unsafe to operate equipment near power lines. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we provide your estimate and keep you updated if anything changes.
All tree debris is typically hauled away as part of our standard service. Branches and smaller wood get chipped and recycled. Larger trunk sections may be cut into firewood-sized pieces if you want to keep them, or hauled away if you don’t.
Some customers in Corte Madera like to keep firewood, especially from oak trees. Just let us know during the estimate if you want any wood left behind. We can stack it neatly in a location you specify.
If you don’t want any of the wood, everything gets removed the same day. We have relationships with local recycling facilities that can properly process the material, keeping it out of landfills and supporting sustainable practices.
Trees near power lines require special expertise and coordination with utility companies. In many cases, PG&E needs to be contacted before any work begins to ensure safe clearances and proper procedures.
We have experience working around power lines and understand the safety protocols required. However, some situations may require the utility company to de-energize lines temporarily or handle the removal themselves if the tree is too close to high-voltage lines.
The safest approach is to have us assess the situation first. We can determine whether it’s a job we can handle safely or if utility company involvement is required. Never attempt to remove trees near power lines yourself – it’s extremely dangerous and potentially fatal.
