Every tree is either an asset or a liability.

When a professional tree risk assessment uncovers a potential issue – perhaps the tree is damaged or diseased beyond repair – tree removal or tree cutting may be required.

Is it time to remove your tree?

A dead tree might not “look” like a danger to your property. A certified arborist can help you decide if it’s time to remove your tree or if there’s a chance your prized plant can be saved.

If you spot one or more of these symptoms, it’s time for a professional arborist to step in:

• Decay-producing fungi, such as mushrooms, growing at the base of the trunk
• Chipped or peeling bark and cracks in the trunk
• Cavities in the trunk or large scaffold branches
• Dead or hanging branches in the upper crown

Removing a tree on your own can be very dangerous, especially if you need to climb a ladder with cumbersome tools to remove bulky branches.

The art form is masterfully trimming and pruning by removing proper deadwood that aesthetically shapes your tree to enhance the beauty of your landscape and achieve your landscape goals.
