While trees are an essential part of any landscape, some situations call for their removal. According to the U.S. Forest Service, nearly 25% of urban trees suffer from structural weaknesses or disease that compromise safety. Identifying when to remove a tree is critical to preventing property damage, utility interference, and personal injuries. Signs such as severe trunk decay, leaning, or large dead branches indicate that a tree may need professional assessment. Additionally, storm-damaged trees with weakened root systems pose a high fall risk.
Situations that may require tree removal include:
- Diseased or Pest-Infested Trees – Spreading infections can endanger nearby vegetation.
- Structural Instability – Trees with hollow trunks or leaning growth may collapse unexpectedly.
- Construction & Landscaping Projects – Removing trees in the way of renovations can enhance usability.
- Storm Damage – Uprooted or broken trees can pose immediate hazards.
