5 SIGNS A TREE NEEDS REMOVAL

03/02/2025

Trees are a beautiful addition to any landscape, providing shade, improving air quality, and enhancing the aesthetics of your property. However, sometimes trees can become a hazard or pose a risk to your home, family, and surrounding structures. In these cases, tree removal may be necessary.

1. The Tree Is Dead or Dying
A dead tree is an obvious candidate for removal. When a tree is dead, it no longer provides any benefit to your landscape and becomes a safety hazard.

2. Severe Leaning or Tilting
A tree that leans significantly or leans unnaturally could be a serious warning sign. If a tree begins to lean toward structures, power lines, or walkways, it could fall at any time.

WHAT IS STUMP GRINDING?

Stump grinding is the process of using specialized machinery to grind a tree stump into small wood chips. Unlike stump removal, which involves digging out the entire stump and root system, stump grinding focuses on grinding the visible portion of the stump into the ground, leaving the roots largely intact.
