Tree Removal

When Should You Consider Removing a Tree?

Tree removal should be carried out when a tree becomes hazardous, unhealthy, or disruptive to your property or future plans.

Common signs that you should consider removal include the tree:

• Leaning significantly or showing recent root plate upheaval
• Exhibiting major trunk cracks, hollowing, or extensive decay
• Hosting invasive pests or untreatable fungal infections
• Damaging foundations, driveways, or underground utilities
• Interfering with power lines or violating clearance regulations
• Obstructing construction plans, landscaping goals, or healthier trees

If the situation isn’t urgent or actively causing damage, you’re welcome to schedule a future service appointment at a time that’s convenient for you, allowing you to plan ahead for safe and efficient removal.

What Is Considered Emergency Tree Removal?

Emergency tree removal applies to situations where a tree poses an immediate danger to life, structures, or utility infrastructure.

This includes:

• Falling or fallen trees leaning against buildings, vehicles, or power lines
• Trees blocking roads, driveways, or emergency access points
• Trees with split trunks or large fallen limbs over walkways or traffic lanes

In situations like these, scheduling a future appointment is not enough. You need immediate service, ideally within 24 hours, to reduce the risks associated with a hazardous tree.

Does Tree Removal Include Stump Removal?

Yes, we can either remove the stump along with the tree or leave it behind by cutting the trunk at ground level, depending on what you prefer. Keep in mind that leaving the stump can lead to pest problems, create tripping hazards, and get in the way of future landscaping plans. If you’re planning to replant, build, or level the area, we recommend including stump removal.

How Long Does It Take To Remove a Tree?

The time it takes to properly remove a tree hinges on several factors, such as its size, location, and the equipment we use. In most cases, we complete standard residential tree removals within a few hours. If the tree is large or located near structures, power lines, or other sensitive areas, the process may take a few days due to the extra safety measures and cleanup required.

To help you prepare, we assess each job in advance and provide a clear timeline based on your specific situation.

Can You Plant a Tree Where One Was Removed?

Yes, you can plant a new tree in the same location where one was removed, and we offer this service if professional help is needed.

Replanting in the exact location is possible but not ideal without proper remediation. The residual root system and wood debris left behind can lead to poor soil structure, nitrogen tie-up, and long-term instability for the new planting.

If replanting in the same location, we recommend:

• Grinding the stump to at least 12 inches below grade: Remove all remaining wood chips to eliminate debris that can interfere with soil health.
• Replacing decomposed root material with screened topsoil and compost: Restore proper soil structure and improve aeration and drainage for new growth.
• Choosing a tree species that isn’t affected by the previous tree: Avoid sensitive species when planting where one once stood.

Alternatively, we can plant the new tree 3 to 5 feet from the original location to avoid the old root zone and take advantage of healthier soil conditions.
