Signs That You Need to Have Your Tree Removed

Removing a tree is a significant decision and should be considered when specific signs indicate potential danger or health issues. Understanding these signs can ensure safety and the health of your landscape.

  • Safety Risks
  • Disease Prevention
  • Aesthetic Maintenance
Signs of Severe Disease or Pest Infestationexpand_more

Trees that are severely diseased or infested by pests may need removal to prevent spread and save surrounding vegetation.

  • Look for unusual leaf discolorations, dieback, and visible pests.
  • Fungal growths at the tree base or peeling bark can indicate internal decay.
  • Removing infested trees can protect the rest of your landscape from similar fates.
Structural Problems that Pose Safety Risksexpand_more

Structural issues within a tree can pose significant safety risks, especially if the tree is located near buildings, walkways, or play areas.

  • Signs include large, dead branches in the canopy or trunks with deep cracks and cavities.
  • Leaning trees or those with unbalanced canopies might suddenly fall.
  • Prompt removal of structurally compromised trees is essential to avoid accidents and property damage.
Interference with Property Structuresexpand_more

Trees that grow too close to buildings, power lines, or other structures may need to be removed to prevent damage and maintain safety.

  • Roots can undermine foundation integrity, leading to costly repairs.
  • Branches touching roofs or power lines can create fire hazards and other risks.
  • Proactive removal is often safer and more cost-effective than dealing with damage after it occurs.

Tree Removal & Stump Grinding

What Our Clients Think

"Everyone we have interacted with in this company has been a delight to work with. Only because there is a stump left would we know there had been a tree! It was a very tall dead ash tree and not a twig remained on the ground after it was cut down and cleared away. Wonderful work and professionalism. We recommend them highly."
