Tree removal is considered a last resort, but it may be necessary if a tree is dead or dying, poses a safety hazard, is causing obstruction or damage to structures, or needs to be removed for construction purposes. Signs that a tree might need to be removed include significant damage to the trunk, large dead branches, heaving roots, or signs of disease. Our certified arborists can provide a thorough assessment to determine if tree removal is the best option.

The best time to prune or trim trees varies depending on the species and the goal of the pruning. Generally, the dormant season, typically late fall or high summer, is the best time for most pruning activities, as it minimizes stress on the trees and the spread of diseases. However, safety concerns such as dead or hazardous branches should be addressed immediately. Our experts can help determine the optimal timing for pruning your specific trees.

While not always necessary, stump grinding is recommended to prevent trip hazards, deter pests, and improve aesthetic appeal. Stump grinding also clears the area for new plantings or landscaping projects. Our stump grinding service removes the stump below ground level, making the area safe and usable again.

Signs of an unhealthy tree include discolored leaves, premature leaf drop, thinning canopy, visible fungi or mushrooms, peeling bark, and dead or dying branches. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult with a professional arborist who can diagnose the issue and recommend a treatment plan to restore the health of your tree.
