How To Determine If Your Tree Is Due For Removal

There are some factors you need to put into consideration before felling your tree. When you reach out to us, we will discuss these factors and weigh the pros and cons, so we know we are doing the right thing for the environment. Because the environment and public interest come first. 

We do not just come to the conclusion that a tree needs to be removed. Trees can also be saved. So, when you call us to take down your tree, we will investigate and advise appropriately. Don't hesitate to request a free quote and tell us the exact problem of the tree. Rest assured you'll get quality service.

Our trained arborist studies the tree, the ground, the trunk, and the crown. This is so that we can ascertain if your tree can be saved or be taken down ultimately. A damaged tree or diseased tree is a risk to you and those around you.

If you notice any of the following signs, quickly reach out to us for an immediate evaluation:

Sudden or heavy leaning.

You may notice your tree leaning to one side and will fall anytime soon. This is caused when there's a break in the root system. This poses a potential threat to lives and properties. The best thing to do is to give us an immediate call so we can diagnose your tree and make the necessary moves to either save the tree or totally remove it from the landscape. 

Don't continue watching your tree in that condition as it will drop anytime soon and cause damage to you or your property. In a worst-case scenario, imagine it falls on your neighbor’s property, you'll have to pay compensation and damages, even medical bills if anyone gets hurt. 

Prevention is better than cure. Call us to prevent a disaster like this. In no time, we will come and remove the leaning tree and make you sleep with both eyes closed, not having to worry about a damaged tree.

Visibly damaged or decaying roots. 

When your tree has a damaged root, it is only a ticking time bomb about to explode anytime soon. A damaged root cannot continue supporting the weight of the tree for long and will require professional service to remove it without causing future damage to lives and property. 

When you discover that the roots are getting damaged or start decaying, do not hesitate to reach out to us to control the issue and remove the disturbing tree. However, if the situation doesn't require us to take down the tree, we can take the necessary measures to revive the tree and make it as strong as before. We will help you make the best decision for you, your property, and your neighbors.

Extensive cracks, cavities, and crevices in the trunk.

Trees can suffer damage from diseases, windstorms, insects, fire, or lightning strikes. Whenever you notice a crack or cavities on the bark of your trees, it doesn’t stop there but goes on to damage a delicate layer of the tree. It damages the layer responsible for distributing water and nutrients throughout the tree. If at least 25% of the bark of your tree suffers any damage, then it’s time for removal.

Also, we cut down trees when the roots are spreading into the foundation of a building or fence nearby, or if it’s obstructing the view of traffic. We also remove trees that are affecting the growth of other trees in the surroundings.
