Tree Removals

 While we vastly prefer to focus our efforts in caring for trees, there are situations when removing a tree is necessary:

• It’s a hazardous tree — that is, it has a structural defect that makes it likely to fail — and is beyond the point where other methods (such as installing a support system) would help. When the hazardous tree is adjacent to buildings, walkways, driveways, roadways, or utility wires, it poses significant risk to people, pets, and property.
• The tree threatens the health of other trees and shrubs nearby. Its removal can allow competing species a chance to develop and mature.

In any case, please do not attempt to remove a tree on your own. Doing so would risk serious injury to yourself, your property, and the people around you. Tree removal is complicated, and demands refined techniques, specialized equipment, and highly qualified arborists.
