When Tree Removal is Necessary

Certified Arborists Provide Expert Guidance

While our goal is to preserve trees whenever possible, there are situations where removal is the safest and most responsible option. Some signs that a tree may need to be removed include:

  • Extensive storm damage

  • Advanced decay or disease

  • Structural instability

  • Interference with power lines or structures

  • Overcrowding that threatens the health of nearby trees

“They started and finished the job in less than an hour and half.”

"The Advantage Tree crew just finished removing a 60 ft. tree in my walking garden. The guys did a great job navigating a fence, a new 20 ft. maple tree, a pergola swing structure and the hundreds of plants and bushes below the tree. They started and finished the job in less than an hour and half. All four guys were personable and easy to communicate with. Advantage Tree is reasonable in price and were prompt in responding via emails including the initial review and quote process. I highly recommend this company!!"
