Gallery Kruse Tree Trim & Construction

Welcome to our Gallery

Here you will find a curated collection of completed projects that illustrate Kruse Tree Trim & Construction’s capabilities across tree services, roofing, construction, and land management. Our gallery demonstrates the quality, safety, and attention to detail we bring to each job. Browse examples of before-and-after tree removals, stump grinding finishes, roofing installations, site clearings, skid loader work, and small construction projects to understand the depth of our experience.

Why a Project Gallery Matters

Visual proof is a critical component in selecting a contractor. Seeing completed work demonstrates our approach to safety, cleanup, workmanship, and the practical outcomes customers can expect. It also helps you visualize how a project might look on your own property, and provides context for discussions during the estimate process.

Key Sections in the Gallery

1. Tree Work — Before & After

View images showing hazardous trees before removal and the cleared, restored yard afterward. These examples highlight our controlled removal techniques, sectional lowering near structures, and clean stump grind results.

What to look for:

- Safe rigging around structures

- Minimal collateral damage to surrounding landscapes

- Clean, finished stump grinder results allowing immediate replanting

2. Emergency Response

Photos document storm-damaged properties we’ve stabilized and cleared, including emergency tarping and rapid removal of fallen trees that threatened structures or blocked access.

What to look for:

- Efficient removal of hazard trees

- Temporary stabilization measures (tarps, bracing)

- Prompt cleanup and debris haul-off

3. Stump Grinding & Site Restoration

See before-and-after shots of stump grinding where previously unusable yard areas become ready for planting, seeding, or construction.

What to look for:

- Grinding to appropriate depth

- Clean, level finish for restoration or construction

- Optional mulch reuse or removal

4. Brush Removal & CRP Mowing Results

Images illustrate clearing of dense brush or fields prepared for CRP mowing obligations. Photos show improved access and compliance-ready mowing results.

What to look for:

- Clear lines for conservation program compliance

- Efficient brush removal with skid loader and chipper

- Post-mowing site condition suitable for habitat goals

5. Roofing Projects

Gallery photos of roof inspections, repair patches, and entire roof replacements demonstrate attention to flashing, ridge caps, and the final clean-up that distinguishes professional roofing work.

What to look for:

- Even, professional shingle or steel shingle installation

- Proper flashing around penetrations

- Clean job site with removed debris

6. Construction & Demolition

Examples include small barn repairs, selective demolition, and new outbuilding construction where we coordinated tree and site work with construction trades.

What to look for:

- Clean demolition with safe material handling

- Organized construction staging and neat finishing

- Integration of site clearing with foundation or flooring work

Why Local Projects Are Highlighted

Most of our projects are local to South Amana and neighboring counties. Local images are especially helpful because they reflect similar climate conditions, tree species, and typical property types you may have. Recognizing these similarities helps you foresee realistic results.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you have references or case studies?

     Yes. For major projects, we can provide references and in-depth case studies describing the problem, solution, timeline, and client outcomes. Contact our office to request references.

  • Can you show projects similar to mine?

    We’ll point you to gallery sections and case studies that match project type (e.g., storm cleanup, roofing replacement, stump grinding). This helps set realistic expectations.

  • Are the photos recent?

    We update the gallery regularly with recent work to reflect our current capabilities and equipment.

How to Use the Gallery When Requesting an Estimate

When you contact us to request an estimate, refer to gallery images that match your goals. This helps our estimator quickly understand your preferences and scope. For instance, if you prefer steel shingles shown in the gallery, mention that during scheduling. If you saw a stump grind finish you prefer, indicate that as well.
