When Should You Remove a Tree?
Deciding whether to remove a tree can be difficult, especially if it's been part of your landscape for years. However, there are several clear signs that tree removal is necessary for your safety and property:
Disease or Decay
If your tree shows signs of disease, fungal growth, or significant decay in the trunk or major branches, it may be beyond saving. Diseased trees can spread problems to other plants and become structurally unsound.
Dead or Dying Trees
Dead trees are unpredictable and dangerous. Without living roots to anchor them, they can fall without warning, especially during windstorms. If more than 50% of your tree is dead, removal is usually the best option.
Structural Damage
Trees with large cracks, splits in the trunk, or leaning at an unusual angle pose significant risks. If your tree is leaning more than 15 degrees, it's likely compromised and should be evaluated immediately.
Root Damage
Construction, excavation, or soil changes can damage tree roots. If more than 50% of the root system is compromised, the tree may become unstable and need removal.
Location Issues
Sometimes healthy trees need to be removed because they're too close to your home, power lines, or other structures. Trees that interfere with construction plans or property improvements may also need removal.
Storm Damage
After severe weather, trees may suffer damage that makes them unsafe. Large broken branches, split trunks, or uprooted trees require immediate professional assessment and often removal.
If you're unsure whether your tree needs removal, we offer free consultations. Our arborists will assess your tree's condition and provide honest recommendations. Sometimes tree trimming and pruning can save a tree, but when removal is necessary, we'll explain why and outline your options.
Our Tree Removal Process
We follow a systematic approach to ensure safe, efficient tree removal every time. Here's what you can expect when you work with us:
Step 1: Free Consultation and Assessment
We start by visiting your property to evaluate the tree and surrounding area. We'll discuss your concerns, assess any hazards, take measurements, and determine the best removal method. You'll receive a detailed written estimate before any work begins.
Step 2: Planning and Permits
We develop a detailed removal plan that accounts for the tree's size, location, nearby structures, and access points. If permits are required, we'll guide you through the process and help ensure all local regulations are met.
Step 3: Site Preparation
On removal day, we prepare the work area by setting up safety zones, protecting your landscaping, and positioning our equipment. We'll also notify neighbors if needed and ensure all safety protocols are in place.
Step 4: Safe Tree Removal
Depending on the tree's location, we may remove it in sections from top to bottom, or fell it in one piece if space allows. We use ropes, rigging systems, and cranes when necessary to control the descent of branches and trunk sections.
Step 5: Stump Grinding
After the tree is removed, we can grind the stump below ground level using professional stump grinding equipment. This eliminates trip hazards and allows you to replant or landscape the area.
Step 6: Cleanup and Haul Away
We haul away all wood, branches, and debris, leaving your property clean. If you'd like to keep firewood, just let us know and we'll cut and stack it for you at no extra charge.
