Hazardous & Large Tree Removal

When Trees Become Hazardous

Not every tree removal is straightforward. Some trees pose serious risks because of their size, location, condition, or surroundings. These hazardous situations require specialized expertise and equipment that go beyond standard tree removal techniques.

A hazardous tree might be leaning toward your house, have significant decay or disease, or stand too close to power lines or other structures. Large trees present their own challenges simply because of their size and weight. When a tree is 60 feet tall with a trunk three feet wide, you can't just cut it down and let it fall.

Our professional tree removal team handles these complex situations every day. We have the training, experience, and equipment to remove dangerous and oversized trees without damaging your property or putting anyone at risk.

Signs You Need Hazardous Tree Removal

How do you know if your tree qualifies as hazardous? Watch for these warning signs that indicate a tree needs professional removal:

• Severe lean: Trees that lean more than 15 degrees or that recently started leaning are unstable
• Trunk damage: Large cracks, splits, or cavities in the trunk compromise structural integrity
• Root problems: Visible root decay, fungal growth at the base, or exposed roots indicate instability
• Dead or dying: Trees that are more than 50% dead become brittle and unpredictable
• Location risks: Trees near structures, power lines, or high-traffic areas require extra caution

If you notice any of these issues, don't wait. Call us for an assessment. We'll evaluate the tree's condition and recommend the safest removal approach. In emergencies, we provide 24/7 emergency removal services to handle dangerous situations immediately.

Our Specialized Equipment and Techniques

Removing hazardous and large trees requires more than chainsaws and trucks. We use crane-assisted removal for trees that can't be safely felled in one piece. Our cranes can lift sections of the tree away from buildings, pools, and landscaping, placing them precisely where we want them.

For trees in tight spaces or near structures, we use rigging systems to control each piece as we cut it. Our certified arborists climb the tree and remove it section by section from the top down, carefully lowering each piece with ropes and pulleys. This method might take longer, but it protects everything around the tree.

Every hazardous tree removal starts with a detailed plan. We assess the tree's condition, map out the work area, identify potential hazards, and choose the right technique. Safety isn't just important, it's our number one priority on every job. After removal, we can also handle stump grinding to complete the project.
