Although tree removal is a last resort, there are circumstances when it is necessary.  An Arborist can help decide whether or not a tree should be removed.  Arborists have the skills and equipment to safely and efficiently remove trees.  Removal is recommended when:

• The tree is dead or dying.
• The tree is considered irreparably hazardous.
• The tree is causing an obstruction that is impossible to correct through pruning.
• The tree is crowding and causing harm to other trees.
• The tree is to be replaced by a more suitable specimen.
• The tree should be removed to allow for new construction.
