When Tree Removal is the Best Option
Do you have a dead or hazardous tree looming over your property? While we do our best to save trees, sometimes, tree removal is the best option. Recent storms, pests, diseases, or other threats can quickly turn even the strongest tree into a safety hazard. Here are some of the most common signs your tree might need to be removed by a professional:
Leaning Trees or Damaged Roots: Trees that are leaning significantly or have damaged root systems can become unstable and fall over, potentially causing property damage or inuring people. Leaning trees might be a sign of root damage, so it’s important to have a professional assess the situation.
Significant Trunk Damage: Deep cracks, splits, or large areas of missing bark on the trunk can weaken the tree’s structure, increasing the risk of collapse.
Hollow Trunk: A hollow trunk weakens the tree, making it harder to hold itself upright. This increases the chance of the tree breaking or falling.
Large Dead Branches: Dead branches are brittle and more likely to snap off unexpectedly.
Insects & Diseases: Severe insect infestations and diseases can damage the tree’s internal structure, making it less able to fight them off and more likely to spread to other nearby trees.
Dangerous Location: Severe insect infestations and diseases can damage the tree’s internal structure, making it less able to fight them off and more likely to spread to other nearby trees.

Yes, we can leave the wood on-site for you to process yourself at your request. However, it’s important to consider the size and manageability of the wood that is left behind. Depending on the size of the tree, the remaining logs might be too large to handle or split by hand.
For your convenience, we also offer splitting and stacking services for an additional fee. We will turn the leftover wood into manageable firewood pieces, ready for use in your fireplace or fire pit.
For the safety of our crew, we only work around power lines if they are de-energized. Our arborist will let you know if you need to contact your local power company to schedule a de-energization before we can remove your tree. They are the only ones that can safely disconnect the power while we remove the tree.
No, tree removal does not include removing the tree stump. However, we offer professional stump grinding services as an add-on to our tree removal. Just let us know beforehand if you’d like stump grinding included, and we’ll be happy to add it to your quote.
