When is Tree Removal Necessary?

Tree removal is necessary when the health and stability of a tree pose risks to people, property, or the surrounding environment. Common reasons for tree removal include disease or decay, the presence of hazardous branches or limbs, proximity to buildings or power lines, and potential risks during severe weather conditions. Trees that are dead, dying, or obstructing construction projects may require removal. A professional tree assessment can determine the necessity of removal based on these factors, ensuring safety and mitigating potential liabilities.

Identifying Potential Tree Issues

Our qualified and certified arborists are on hand to provide free tree assessments and evaluate your trees’ safety. But here are a handful of potential tree issues to consider if you’re wondering whether or not to remove a tree.

  • Dead Trees: Dead trees can become unstable, increasing the risk of falling branches or the entire tree. Look for bare branches, an absence of foliage, and a lack of new growth.
  • Sudden or Extreme Leaning: Trees that exhibit sudden or extreme leaning may pose an imminent threat. This can indicate compromised root systems, unstable soil conditions, or structural issues.
  • Damage, Disease, or Decay: Keep an eye out for signs of damage, disease, or decay in a tree’s structure. Cracks, cavities, or extensive bark loss can be indicators. These issues compromise the tree’s stability, making it susceptible to breakage or collapse.
  • Proximity to Property: Trees positioned too closely to buildings and other structures can lead to potential hazards. Overhanging branches, root intrusion, or the sheer size of the tree may pose risks of damage during storms or adverse weather conditions.

Our Tree Removal Process

We begin by setting up the job site and blocking off the tree drop zone to prevent hazards and accidents. If you have outdoor furniture, potted plants, or other moveable objects, please clear them from the work area beforehand to prevent damage. If the tree is in an open space without risk of damaging people and property, it can be felled in one piece. We will remove the tree in sections in tighter spaces and employ rigging and special equipment to protect surrounding areas. All jobs finish with a thorough cleanup to remove debris.

Stump Grinding

Tree removal disposes of almost the entire tree but will leave a stump behind. If the stump isn’t an obstruction, isn’t a tripping hazard, and doesn’t have pests, it is safe to leave in place. But if you need the stump removed, we offer stump grinding services that remove the entire aboveground stump and grind belowground parts to wood chips. This creates an even ground devoid of tripping hazards and ready for planting or other outdoor activities.

Factors Affecting Tree Removal Cost

Tree Size and Condition

The size and overall health of a tree significantly impact removal costs. More giant trees require more labor, equipment, and time to remove. Additionally, whether the tree is healthy, diseased, or dead can influence the complexity of the removal process, further affecting the overall cost.

Proximity to Structures and Hazards

The proximity of a tree to structures, utility lines, or other hazards affects removal costs. Trees in tight spaces require careful planning and meticulous execution to avoid potential damage.

Special Equipment Needs

Certain situations, such as trees in challenging terrain or with difficult access, require special equipment like cranes for precise removal. Using such equipment ensures a safe and efficient removal process but can contribute to the overall cost.

Customer Testimonials and Success Stories

Excellent company that deserves their A Plus name. The crew that had to remove two damaged trees and replace them with two new ones, was efficient, courteous and on time. The four members worked as an efficient team arriving at 7:15 am and completing the total job before 11:00 am. They left the area clean and did minimal damage to existing flower plantings adjacent to the two trees that had to be removed, which was a difficult assignment to accomplish. Hats off to everyone! I strongly recommend this company.

Wow, the guys did a fantastic job removing a tree from my back yard! They were professional, efficient, cleaned up, and everything looks great. I had no idea what a big job this was, and it was so impressive to see them take the full tree….crazy!

I have a newfound respect for the work they do! Thank you so much for a great job!

I had a sick tree. An Ash tree right next to the house and in a very narrow alley. I got several estimates, and when I approved their quote they came in and took the tree down in the most amazing fashion. The fellow worked between two houses, a fence, and an air conditioning unit – and took a very large tree out with no collateral damage. His performance in the tree was truly worthy of the Cirque du Soleil. Bravo!
They removed the trunk, they cleaned it all up, and the work was exceptional! I highly recommend A Plus Tree Service for your arboreal requirements.

Tree Removal FAQs

This depends on the tree’s size, location, and health. A straightforward removal can be done in a day, while more complex projects might take several days or more. At A Plus Tree, we plan for efficiency without compromising safety. During the initial consultation, we provide an estimated timeline based on the specific requirements of your tree removal.
Leaving a stump in your yard may be fine if it’s in an unobstructive location. But stumps can be tripping hazards, attract pests, and impede landscaping activities. If the stump is going to compromise safety or aesthetics, we recommend stump removal. Our services include stump grinding, a process that efficiently removes the stump below ground level.
Assess your tree for health, structural integrity, and potential risks. Look for signs such as extensive decay, dead branches, sudden leaning, or proximity to structures. If you’re uncertain, our Arborists at A Plus Tree can provide customized tree risk assessments. We evaluate the tree’s condition and provide recommendations on whether removal is necessary to keep you, your community, and your property safe.
