Residential & Commercial Tree Removal Services
Most healthy and well-maintained trees require trimming every one to two years. However, dead or diseased branches should be removed immediately to prevent accidents and maintain the health of your trees. It takes experience to know when each tree is best suited for trimming, how extensively it should be trimmed, and how to shape it properly for healthy growth and maximum beauty. We’ll discuss your needs in detail when we examine your property and give you a quote.
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, structurally unsound trees — such as those with significant leans or hollow trunks —trees that are too close to structures or power lines, or trees that are diseased and could spread infection. Additionally, trees may be removed for aesthetic reasons, such as blocking views or excessive shade.
Reasons for Tree Removal
Safety Concerns:
Dead or Dying Trees: These are prone to falling, especially in storms, posing a serious risk to people, structures, and property.
Diseased or Damaged Trees: Trees with severe decay, structural issues, or damage from storms can become unstable and pose a hazard.
Trees in Hazardous Locations: Trees growing too close to buildings, power lines, driveways, or areas where people frequent can cause damage or injury.
Property Damage:
Roots Encroaching on Structures: Tree roots can damage foundations, sidewalks, driveways, and underground utility lines, posing a significant risk to property.
Branches Causing Damage: Overhanging branches can damage roofs, vehicles, or interfere with power lines, posing a significant risk.
Health of the Landscape:
Disease or Pest Infestation: To prevent the spread of diseases or pests to other trees and plants.
Overcrowding: Removing trees that are too close together can improve the overall health and growth of remaining trees and plants.
Construction and Landscaping Projects:
Clearing Land for New Construction: To create space for buildings, roads, or other structures.
Improving Landscape Aesthetics: To enhance views, allow more sunlight, or make space for other landscaping features.
Other Considerations:
Undesirable Species: Trees that are weak, prone to breakage, or invasive may be removed.
Excessive Debris: Some trees drop large amounts of leaves, seeds, or branches that can be messy and inconvenient.
Tree Removal Benefits
Tree removal can offer several benefits, particularly when addressing problematic or potentially hazardous trees.
Safety and Property Protection:
- Hazard prevention: Removing diseased, dead, or damaged trees significantly reduces the risk of falling branches or the entire tree collapsing, which could cause severe damage to your home, vehicles, or even pose a threat to people.
- Protection from property damage: Tree roots can damage foundations, driveways, and underground utilities. Removing such trees can prevent or mitigate these issues.
- Reduced pest infestations: Dying or diseased trees can attract pests and diseases that may spread to other healthy trees or even infest your home. Removing these trees helps prevent such problems.
Aesthetics and Practicality:
- Enhanced curb appeal: Removing unsightly or overgrown trees can significantly improve the overall appearance of your property and increase its value.
- Creating space: Removing trees can free up space for landscaping projects, outdoor living areas, or other desired additions to your property.
- Better views: Removing trees that obstruct desirable views can enhance your landscape’s overall appeal.
- Increased sunlight: Removing trees that cast excessive shade can allow more sunlight to reach other plants or areas of your yard.

Ensures Safety: By identifying buried lines, DigAlert minimizes the risk of injuries and potentially dangerous accidents, such as explosions caused by damaged gas pipelines.
Avoids Costly Repairs and Penalties: Damaging utility lines can lead to expensive repairs, fines, and potentially being held liable for costs associated with damaged equipment.
Maintains Service Reliability: Protecting underground utilities prevents service outages and disruptions to essential services for homes and businesses.
Free Service: DigAlert is a free service provided by local utility companies to homeowners and excavators planning digging projects.
