FAQs

How do I know if a tree should be removed?

1

A tree may need removal if it is dead, severely declining, structurally unstable, storm damaged, leaning dangerously, interfering with a building, or creating an unacceptable safety risk. We can inspect the tree and explain the available options.

Can a tree be saved instead of removed?

2

In many cases, proper trimming, weight reduction, clearance pruning, or ongoing maintenance may help preserve the tree. We provide honest recommendations based on its condition and location.

Do you remove dangerous limbs over homes or buildings?

3

Yes. We handle hazardous limbs near roofs, structures, walkways, driveways, parking areas, and other sensitive locations using appropriate equipment and careful work practices.

Do you top trees?

4

We generally do not recommend improper topping because it can weaken a tree, create unsafe regrowth, and increase future maintenance needs. We recommend appropriate pruning methods based on the tree and the desired result.

Will trimming make my tree safer during storms?

5

Proper pruning can reduce deadwood, excessive weight, and hazardous branches. However, no tree can be made completely storm-proof. Routine inspections and responsible maintenance can help reduce risk.
