Tree Removal

When a Tree Must Go, We’ve Got Your Back!

Deciding to remove a tree is a significant decision that requires careful thought. Our experts at Arbor Masters are here to help you determine the right time for tree removal by evaluating several critical factors. Is the tree showing signs of disease or extensive damage? Are there large dead branches or a severe lean that poses a safety risk? Is there visible root damage or fungal growth around the base? If you observe any of these issues, consulting with our certified arborists can help ensure the health and safety of your property.

“Work Was Excellent, Timely, and Very Professionally Done.”

"This is the firm to use for all your tree needs. I can't stress enough how professional and pleasant they were. I would give them 10 stars if possible. The work was excellent, timely and very professionally done. I can recommend them without any reservations. Other Arborists I interviewed were strictly about money, not the care they could provide."

Should Your Tree Be Removed? What Our Arborists Look For

Determining whether a tree needs to be removed involves a detailed inspection by our certified arborists. At Arbor Masters, we look for several signs that may signify a tree is compromised:

  • Dead or Dying Branches: A high number of dead or dying branches can imply poor overall health.

  • Leaning Trees: Trees that lean significantly might have unstable root systems, increasing the risk of falling.

  • Root Damage: Roots that are exposed or damaged by construction or erosion can destabilize the tree.

  • Fungal Growth: Mushrooms or fungi at the base of the tree often indicate internal decay or root rot.

  • Large Cracks or Cavities: Visible cracks or cavities in the trunk suggest serious structural weaknesses.

  • Bark Splitting: This can be a sign of internal decay, making the tree more prone to failure.

Our arborists use these indicators to assess the health and stability of your trees and make informed recommendations for removal if necessary, ensuring the safety of your property.

FAQs About Tree Removal

Signs that tree removal might be necessary include mushrooms or fungus growing along the roots or trunk, over 50% of the upper part of the tree being dead, hollowing or rotting out of the trunk, and a pronounced lean that has worsened over time. These symptoms suggest that the tree is compromised and may pose a risk to your property.

Before removing a tree, consider its age, health, size, and location. Assess the proximity to structures or important features and the potential risks posed by the tree, such as falling or dropping branches. You may also want to consider the cost of removal and any regulations that might apply.

With a tree removal service, you can expect an initial consultation where we assess the tree and discuss removal methods and costs. If needed, we assist with obtaining permits from the local government. The removal itself is conducted safely and efficiently, with proper disposal of debris. Finally, we clean up the area, removing any branches, leaves, or other debris, and leaving your property tidy.
