Thinning & Fire Protection

Tree Thinning & Fire Protection Services

Living in North Idaho you should be aware of the imminent dangers we face every year with fires. Walking your property with a tree specialist will help determine any risks such as dead trees, over growth or brush needing to be cleared. You can’t away prevent fires but removing highly flammable materials will certainly reduce your risk or creating or adding to the already prone wildfire prone area.

Tree Thinning Service

An acre of land can only grow so many trees. One acre of fertile forestland may be able to sustain 500 small trees, or 100 big trees. Thinning is an effective and powerful forest management tool that promotes tree growth and restores forest health. When thinning, forest operators remove slower-growing or defective trees to provide more space for the remaining trees to grow. Available water and soil nutrients benefit those that remain, resulting in bigger, healthier trees in a shorter period of time.

As well removing any number of dead trees will help with the pre-existing fuel problem. When these trees die and fall to the ground or dead brush isn’t maintained or burned it is just creating more material to burn in areas that are already prone to uncharacteristically severe wildfire.

As an experienced insurance professional I relied on Nick and his crew to take care of some large falling trees and I trust him with my clients. Amazing, reliable, on-time, professional, skilled, quick, and striking.

Nick delivered exactly as promised - very efficient and lots of huge equipment to get the job done. He removed 9 large Ponderosa/Douglas Fir trees near our house without harming the land around them or damaging the landscaping/driveway. As with so many things, you get what you pay for. Not cheap, but he really knows what he is doing and has a good crew to work with him. Highly recommend. Nancy Spence, Sagle

Had a ~40ft tree leaning way over my mothers house. I called him at 6:00 the night before and he responded the next morning at 7:00am when he saw the photo of its severity and had it down safely within 20-30 minutes. Very professional, very cordial, I will call him again when i need a tree removed and recommend him to anyone!

Wonderful job removing a tree that had fallen on my garage. I had them remove three more potentially hazardous trees and cut them up for firewood. Expert job, nice people, fast and efficient.

What a great hard working, thoughtful, polite and respectful and SAFE bunch of guys. These guys were very meticulous about everything. I had 4 big trees removed (some high risk)and 1/2 dozen limbed up high. Even the tuff stuff was a non event for them and clean up was excellent.

NOW IS THE TIME TO CALL BIG NICK!!! Seeing that it looks like we are going to have a rough winter we wanted to be proactive and get some big trees down BEFORE they fell on our house!! Once again we called THE PROFESSIONALS AT BIG NICK's TREE SERVICE!! Big Nick, Sam and Chet came out and took down 8 more trees for us and now we can sleep peacefully knowing that they are not going to come down on our house! We had a big tree fall on our house last winter during a wind sotrm and we NEVER want to live through that again! DON'T DELAY CALL BIG NICK TODAY!!!! UPDATE: On Friday 13 March 2020 we had a GIGANTIC PINE TREE hit our house during the big winterstorm. We were scared to death that it was going to snap in half and wreck even more of the house or seesaw and take out the kitchen or roll off the roof and hit my truck which was blocked in by it!! IT WAS SCARY! The wind was whipping the fallen tree as it leaned up against our house. We called BIG NICK and he and Sam came out and saved our house from anymore damage! It took them a little while as it was dangerous but they took this giant pine apart piece by piece and gently lowered the pieces to the ground. Thanks to these guys we did not suffer anymore damage!! I truly believe that if they did not get there as quick as they did and get this tree down we would have been looking at some major, major damage. Big Nick and Sam ought to wear CAPES!!! Thank you Big Nick and Sam for saving our house!! If I had to describe Big Nick's Tree Management in a single word it would be SUPERGLORIOUS!!!! These guys are PROFESSIONALS! We called Nick about 3 birch trees we had that were surrounded on 3 sides by our house and garage. Nick came right out and gave us an estimate and the "price was the price" even though his crew went the extra mile when it came to clean up and chipping! Sam is the tree climber/cutter and he is the MOZART OF CHAINSAWS! He stood on the ground in front of the trees for about 3 minutes and then up he went to the heavens hanging off branches as big as your wrist. He systematically took the tree down piece by piece and dropped each piece in the same spot. NOT ONE TWIG TOUCHED ANY OF OUR ROOFS!!! It was amazing to watch. A true expert!!!!! Nathan, the ground guy, was in constant motion and assisted Sam and kept the chipper shredder fed. We are more than pleased with BIG NICK TREE MANAGEMENT and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM TO EVERYONE!!
