Tree’s are removed when they are dead, dying, or pose significant safety hazards. It may be time to remove a tree if it is experiencing infection, weak growth, or root defects. Removal may also be necessary if the tree has large dead branches, a decaying, compromised, or hollow trunk, if it’s leaning, if it’s growing under power lines, or too close to a structure. If a tree falls and causes damage or injury, you, as the homeowner, are liable. It’s always better to mitigate the risk and remove the tree before that happens.

When trimming a tree, it's essential to avoid over-pruning to maintain the tree's health and structure. Generally, no more than 10-20% of a tree's canopy should be removed at one time. For younger trees, we stick to the lower end of this range, as excessive pruning can stunt their growth. The focus is on removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches, as well as any that cross or rub against each other. This approach encourages healthy growth and a strong structure.We avoid heavy pruning during a single session, as it can stress the tree and make it more susceptible to diseases and pests.
