We have found that people are afraid of doing tree removal since they think the cost to remove a tree is going to be way out of budget. Do not hesitate on contacting us for a quote. In reality putting off removal of a dead tree can honestly cost more in the long run. Some of these costs can increase due to how stable the tree is for removal and if additional equipment would be needed to safely remove the tree. Another hidden cost that is often underestimated is the cost of a insurance claim and your insurance premiums would increase after filing a insurance claim from damaged of a fallen tree.
 
So you think you need a tree removed? Here is a quick checklist of what you should do to determine if you need a tree removed.

• Is the tree dead or are you experiencing falling branches coming off the tree a few times a week?
  • If you are experiencing large size branches falling off your tree a few times a week it would be a good idea to get your tree looked at by one of arborists and get a professional thought on what would be the best course of action such as if we need to do a whole tree removal or maybe remove part of the tree so the rest of the tree can survive.
• Is the tree showing signs of tree rot or sap oozing out from areas of the tree?
  • Did you know a tree can get sick and sometimes need assistance on getting healthy again. We can provide you with solutions on what you can do to help improve the health of a tree. If you delay too long the tree could get too sick from tree rot and will have to be removed completely. If you have any questions about what you should do to a tree contact us and we can give you a good idea.
• Does your tree look like it's infested with bugs, has bags on branches or holes in the leaves?
  • If you tree has a large quantity of bugs on the leaves or eating the leaves this could be a larger issue that could potentially hurt your tree in the future. Also Bagworms on your trees can be a issue. These bagworm can spread to multiple trees and damage multiple trees on your property. Its always best to get it addressed quickly to help ensure your tree stays healthy. Contact us for a quote.
• Is the tree a danger to people or your property?
  • Did you know that if your tree is dying and is overhanging onto a neighbor's property and falls your insurance could be liable for all damage that is caused by that tree. Past experience has shown that removing a tree before it causes damage to property will prevent insurance costs from increasing as a result of a claim. Most of the time removing a tree is actually cheaper than paying your insurance deductible and the cost of the homeowners insurance over the next few years.
• Is your tree hanging on power lines around your property?
  • Trees that are hanging on power lines can be a liability and can cause issues for you and neighbors. We strongly suggest that you contact your local power utility company and let them know and they can send someone out to inspect the trees and lines. They should take care of the issue for you. If they find that the issue is your responsibility they will inform you and then you can contact us for a free quote.
