Hazardous & Large Tree Removal
Specialized expertise and equipment for removing dangerous and oversized trees safely.
When Trees Become Dangerous
Some trees are too dangerous for standard removal methods. Maybe your tree is leaning heavily toward your house, has major structural damage, or sits in a tight space surrounded by buildings and power lines. These situations require specialized skills and equipment that go beyond regular tree service.
Hazardous trees put your property and family at risk every day they remain standing. Storm damage, disease, root problems, and age can all compromise a tree's stability. When a large tree fails, it doesn't just fall over, it can destroy homes, vehicles, fences, and anything else in its path.
We specialize in removing trees that other companies won't touch. Our team has the training, experience, and equipment to handle complex removals safely. We assess each situation carefully, plan every step, and execute the removal with precision to protect your property.
Signs Your Tree Is Hazardous
Not every large tree is dangerous, but certain warning signs mean you should get a professional assessment soon:
- The tree leans more than 15 degrees from vertical
- Large sections of dead branches in the canopy
- Significant trunk damage, cracks, or hollow sections
- Mushrooms or fungus growing on the trunk or around the base
- Root damage from construction, grading, or soil erosion
- History of losing large branches without obvious cause
- Trees that have survived lightning strikes or severe storm damage
- Multiple trunks with weak attachment points
If you notice any of these signs, don't wait for the next windstorm to find out if your tree is stable. Our experts can evaluate your tree's condition and recommend the safest course of action. We also offer cabling and structural support for trees that can be saved.
How We Remove Large and Difficult Trees
Large tree removal requires careful planning and the right approach for each unique situation. We start with a thorough site assessment to identify all potential hazards, obstacles, and the best removal strategy.
For trees in tight spaces or near structures, we use rigging techniques to lower sections in a controlled manner. We may also bring in crane assistance for particularly large or dangerous trees. Cranes let us lift heavy sections over houses and obstacles without risking damage to your property.
Every cut is calculated. We remove trees section by section, starting at the top and working down. Our climbers are skilled professionals who understand tree physics and know how branches will react when cut. Safety equipment and protocols protect both our crew and your property throughout the process. When standard tree removal services aren't enough, our hazardous tree team has you covered.
Why Experience Matters
Removing hazardous and large trees isn't something you learn overnight. It takes years of training, hands-on experience with difficult removals, and understanding of tree behavior under stress. One miscalculation can turn a controlled removal into a disaster.
