(323) 606-0255For professional tree service in Georgetown, KY, Hernandez Landscaping prunes for healthy structure, removes dead and hazardous limbs, and safely takes down trees near homes and power lines. Insured and locally based since 2010, we rig and lower large oaks and maples in controlled sections to protect your property.
Central Kentucky is oak-and-maple country, and mature hardwoods are one of the best features a Georgetown property can have — until an ice storm loads a weak branch union or a dead limb hangs over the roof. Trees need periodic, knowledgeable care to stay healthy and safe. We prune to keep structure strong, remove hazards before they fail, and take down trees that are dead, diseased, or too close to the house — cleanly and without damaging the yard around them.
Removals near homes, power lines, and historic structures are not a chainsaw-and-hope job. We assess lean, decay, target zones, and drop space, then rig and lower sections when a straight fell is not safe. Our crews are experienced, insured, and equipped to handle the large canopies common across Scott and Fayette counties.
When storms hit, we shift to emergency response. But routine trimming and proactive removal of high-risk limbs is what keeps most trees from ever becoming an emergency in the first place.
Tree issues we handle
Dead or hanging limbs
Deadwood and storm-cracked limbs over structures, driveways, and play areas are removed before they drop.
Weak V-crotch unions
Tight branch forks on oaks and maples split under ice load. We identify and reduce or cable them before winter.
Trees too close to the home
Roots and canopies crowding the foundation, roof, or utility lines are pruned back or the tree is removed safely.
Storm-damaged & leaning trees
Uprooted, split, or dangerously leaning trees are assessed and removed with proper rigging.
Our Process
- 1
Tree assessment
We inspect health, structure, lean, decay, and what sits in the fall zone, then recommend prune, cable, or remove.
- 2
Clear the work zone
We protect turf, beds, and structures and establish a safe drop and rigging area before any cutting.
- 3
Prune or rig & remove
Structural pruning for health, or controlled sectional lowering for removals near targets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Every job includes cleanup — limbs are chipped, wood is cut to the length you want (or hauled off entirely), and we finish with a rake-and-blow so your yard is left clean. If you want the wood kept for firewood, just tell us where to stack it.
Not every problem tree needs to come down. Deadwood, crossing limbs, and minor storm damage are often solved with pruning. Removal is warranted when a tree is dead, has significant trunk decay, is leaning after root failure, or is simply too close to the structure. We assess the whole tree and recommend the least-invasive option that keeps your property safe.
It depends on the policy and what the tree damaged. Coverage is more likely when a fallen tree hits an insured structure like your home, garage, or fence. We document the damage with photos and provide detailed estimates you can submit to your insurer.
Stump grinding is available as part of a removal or as a standalone service. We grind below grade, remove the grindings if you prefer, and can prep the area for sod or planting.
Late winter, while trees are dormant, is ideal for most structural pruning — the branch structure is visible and the tree heals quickly in spring. That said, dead and hazardous limbs should be removed whenever they are found, in any season.
