Tree Service in Woods Cross, UT

Woods Cross covers just 3.84 square miles, wedged between West Bountiful to the north, Bountiful to the east and North Salt Lake to the south. Tree Service in Woods Cross is mostly steady, practical work on established residential lots: keeping big shade trees off roofs, removing trees that have died or outgrown their space, and grinding the stumps.

Named for a pioneer

The city takes its name from Daniel C. Wood, a Mormon pioneer and early settler who was born in New York and died here in 1892. Woods Cross was settled in 1865 and incorporated in 1935. It had 11,410 residents in 2020, up about 17 percent from 2010. Water comes from mountain springs and Wasatch snowpack runoff, which keeps lawns and trees green on lots that would otherwise be dry valley ground.

Trees on irrigated lots

Well-watered lawns are good for grass and not always good for trees. Shallow, frequent sprinkling encourages shallow roots, and constantly wet soil around a trunk can lead to root and crown rot. Signs worth watching for:

• Mushrooms or conks at the base of the trunk
• Bark that is soft, cracked or peeling near the soil
• A crown thinning from the top down
• A new lean, or soil heaving on one side after a storm

If we see these on a tree near the house, we will tell you plainly whether it is a pruning job or a removal.

Working on compact lots

With homes close together, most removals here are done in sections and lowered on ropes. We look at fences, sheds, overhead service drops and the neighbor's yard before giving a price, and we plan where the truck and chipper will sit so the street stays usable.

Green waste close to home

Bountiful's landfill, which sits in neighboring West Bountiful, accepts clean green waste from Woods Cross residents. For homeowners doing small pruning projects, that is a convenient option. On our jobs, all wood and brush is chipped and hauled unless you want to keep some.

Typical jobs in town

• Thinning mature maples, ash and elms that have grown over roofs and driveways
• Taking out spruce and pine planted too close to foundations
• Removing dead or storm-damaged trees, and cleaning up afterward
• Pruning fruit trees that have gone years without care
• Grinding stumps so the yard can be reseeded, paved or replanted

Every estimate lists each tree, the work planned and how cleanup is handled, so you can compare or phase the work over time.

Schools and families

Woods Cross High School and two elementary schools, Odyssey and Woods Cross Elementary, are in the city, and the median age was about 30.5 in 2020. Lots with play equipment and young kids mean we take extra care to remove hanging deadwood over the yard.
