How Do You Remove Trees Safely?
Safe tree removal requires careful planning, the right equipment, and professional expertise. Here, we prioritize safety at every stage of the process to protect your property and ensure the job is done correctly.
During tree removal, our team follows these critical steps:
- Assessing the tree and surroundings: We evaluate the tree's size, condition, and proximity to buildings, power lines, or other obstacles to determine the safest removal strategy.
- Using proper equipment: Our professionals use specialized tools like chainsaws, rigging ropes, and cranes when necessary to handle trees of all sizes and complexities.
- Establishing a drop zone: We designate a clear area where branches and sections of the tree can be safely lowered without causing damage or injury.
- Sectional tree removal: For larger trees, we cut and lower branches and trunk sections in manageable pieces to maintain control and prevent accidents.
- Clearing debris: Once the tree is removed, we ensure all debris is cleared, leaving your property clean and safe.

Art's Tree Service:
The Best Local Tree Removal Company
Our arborists are all licensed to offer you solutions to remove your broken or rotting trees. It might be time to think about removal if you spot any of the following:
- Decay and fungi, such as mushrooms, growing at the base of the tree
- Cavities in the trunk
- Dead or rotting branches in the upper crown
- Fine twigs without buds near the ends of branches
- Chipped or peeling bark
- Splits in the trunk
Signs You Need Emergency Tree Removal
Trees that are neglected or have been hit by an extreme storm will be left vulnerable and eventually need to be removed. When extensive damage or infestation is prevalent, it’s best to seek emergency tree removal services.
Here are situations that qualify for emergency tree removal:
- The tree is leaning significantly, especially after a storm
- Large, visible cracks or splits in the trunk
- Large limbs or branches are falling off unexpectedly
- Uprooted tree with exposed or damaged roots
- Dead or diseased branches visible
- Tree is growing too close to power lines or structures
- Unstable or weakened tree structure after severe weather
If you observe one or more of these signs, don’t wait to contact our emergency tree removal services—call right away to avoid property damage or personal injury.
How Can You Identify Tree Decay?
Identifying tree decay early is essential for maintaining the health and safety of your tree.
Some signs we look for include
- Visible mushrooms or fungi: Fungi growing on the trunk or around the base are a sign of decay, as they feed on decaying wood.
- Cavities or holes: Hollow spots or soft, spongy wood indicate internal decay, which compromises the tree’s structure.
- Discoloration of the wood: Darkened or patchy wood is a sign of fungal or bacterial decay breaking down the fibers.
- Leaning or tilting: A leaning tree may have weakened roots due to rot, affecting its stability.
- Dead or dropping branches: Excessive dead branches or unusual leaf drop suggests internal decay or disease.
- Soft or spongy bark: Bark that is peeling, soft, or mushy can indicate that the tree’s vascular system is compromised.
What To Do Before Requesting Emergency Tree Removal
When you’re faced with a tree emergency, acting quickly and safely is essential. However, there are steps you should take before contacting a professional tree removal service to ensure the process goes smoothly and avoids further complications.
Begin by evaluating the tree and its surroundings. Determine if the tree is posing an immediate threat to people, structures, or utility lines. If there’s a risk of injury or property damage, clear the area and keep everyone at a safe distance. For trees near power lines, contact your utility company immediately, as they may need to secure the area before any work can begin.
Once the area is safe, we recommend that you document the damage by taking photos and noting any relevant details. This information and documentation will be crucial if you wind up having to file an insurance claim—and it will help us assess the situation more thoroughly upon arrival.
When Is Tree Limb Removal an Option?
There are times when you might not have to remove the whole tree. We invite you to consider limb removal for overgrown limbs that obstruct property, or when specific branches affect the overall health of the tree. In these situations, you’ll be able to preserve the rest of the tree without issue.
Will Tree Limb Removal Hinder Tree Health?
Tree limb removal, when done properly, doesn’t harm the overall health of the tree. In fact, careful limb removal can be beneficial for your tree’s growth and longevity.
By removing dead, damaged, or diseased limbs, we help prevent the spread of disease, improve air circulation, and allow more sunlight to reach the healthier parts of the tree. Proper pruning can also reduce the risk of limbs becoming a safety hazard during storms or strong winds.
What’s the Difference Between Stump Grinding and Stump Removal?
Some might use these terms interchangeably, but they’re actually two different services with distinct approaches and outcomes. Both methods address the issue of tree stumps after a tree has been cut down, but the processes and end results vary. Understanding the difference can help you decide which option best suits your property needs.
Stump Grinding
Stump grinding involves using a specialized machine to grind the stump down into small wood chips, typically several inches below the ground level. This process leaves the root system in place, allowing the area to settle naturally over time. Stump grinding is a quicker, more cost-effective solution when you want to remove the visible part of the stump but don’t need to completely dig out the roots.
Stump Removal
Stump removal, on the other hand, is a more intensive process that involves digging up the entire stump and root system. This method is ideal if you want to completely eliminate the stump and roots from the ground. Stump removal typically requires more equipment, time, and labor, but it ensures that the area is fully cleared and ready for new landscaping or construction projects.
How Can You Avoid Removing More Trees in the Future?
Some weather events and damages make tree removal unavoidable. Severe storms, high winds, and lightning strikes can cause irreparable harm to trees, leaving them unstable or posing a safety risk. Similarly, extensive pest infestations or diseases that compromise a tree’s structure may leave removal as the only viable option.
However, in many other cases, proper tree care and maintenance can help prevent the need for complete removal. Regular pruning, disease prevention, and addressing minor issues early can strengthen a tree’s health and resilience. We can also help you plant trees in more suitable locations, as well. Proper planting practices can reduce issues dramatically.
