When to Consider Tree Removal
If you’re unsure whether a tree needs to go, look for these signs:
The tree is leaning noticeably.- Dead branches hang over your home, driveway, or wires.
- The trunk shows cracks, hollow areas, or fungi growth.
- Roots are damaging sidewalks, foundations, or plumbing.
- The tree was damaged during a storm.
If any of these apply, we can provide a Hazardous Tree Assessment before deciding on removal.
