When is Tree Felling Necessary?
Not every tree needs to go, but some can become dangerous if left too long. Here’s when removal is often necessary:
Dead or Dying Trees
No new growth, brittle branches, risk of collapse.
Sudden or Extreme Leaning
Roots or soil may be failing, making the tree unstable.
Damage, Disease, or Decay
Cracks, cavities, or bark loss compromise strength.
Proximity to Property or Power Lines
Trees too close to buildings, walls, or power lines pose ongoing risks, from falling branches to root intrusion that damages foundations or plumbing.
