Is your tree a candidate for removal? 

 

Trees are often removed due to safety concerns, property damage risks, or to address unhealthy or undesirable conditions. Specific reasons include dead or dying trees, trees that are structurally unsound such as those with significant leans or hollow trunks, over mature and or declining, etc. Trees that are too close to structures, or trees that are diseased and could spread infection. Additionally, trees may be removed for aesthetic reasons, such as blocking views or excessive shade.

​

Safety Concerns:

​​Dead or Dying Trees:

Dead trees are a significant safety hazard as they can fall at any time, potentially causing damage to property or injury to people.

​

Structurally Weak Trees:

Trees with significant leans, hollow trunks, or extensive decay are prone to breaking or falling, especially during storms.

​

Proximity to Structures 

Trees too close to houses, or other infrastructure can cause damage and create safety hazards.

​

Storm Damage:

Trees that have been severely damaged by storms, with broken limbs or trunks, may need to be removed to prevent future hazards. 

​

Property Damage Risks:

Root Damage: Tree roots can damage foundations, driveways, and underground utilities.

Branch Damage: Overhanging branches can scratch or damage the exterior of homes.

​

Unhealthy or Undesirable Conditions:

​Disease or Pest Infestation:

Diseased trees can spread infection to other trees and plants. Removing diseased trees helps protect the surrounding environment.

 

Excessive Mess:

Some trees drop a lot of leaves, needles, sap, or other debris, which can be a nuisance as well as a safety issue.

​

Obstructed Views:

Trees can block scenic views or create excessive shade, which may be undesirable.

​

Overcrowding:

Removing trees can improve the health of the remaining trees by providing them with better access to sunlight, water, and nutrients.

​

Landscape Renovations:

Trees may need to be removed to accommodate new landscaping or construction projects.
