There comes a time when a tree needs to be removed. Maybe it is sick or badly damaged or has simply reached end of life. Dead or dying trees can be hazardous if they are close to homes or buildings, roads, or powerlines, or if they have structural defects that could cause the tree to topple or large parts of it to fall.
Trees that could cause injury or property damage should be evaluated immediately. If you have concerns about a tree on your property, call one of our certified arborists today. We’re expert in all aspects of tree care and can give an honest and thorough evaluation of a tree’s health.
Sometimes it’s easy to tell if a tree needs to be removed. If it’s had no green leaves for an entire growing season, it may be a candidate for removal. Other times, though, the picture is not so clear-cut. A tree needs serious attention if it has:
- long cracks in the trunk
- large areas of peeling bark
- multiple branches with no signs of life
- is badly decayed
- has severe disease or insect infestation
- mushrooms or other fungi on the trunk or at the roots
- a lean in the trunk of 30 degrees or more from vertical or other structural problems
If a tree is the wrong type for its environment or is interfering with other plants or property nearby, it might also need to be removed.
Our certified arborists have the knowledge and experience to tell you the true condition of a tree and help you decide if it should be removed or can be saved. Many times a tree can be saved with proper care, but an arborist can tell you for sure.
Here’s why you should call Waco Tree Experts for tree service and removal:
- We are the authorities in our field with over 30 years of experience. It takes many years to become proficient at tree service. Because every tree and property are different, only years of study and experience can let you determine the best course of action in each case. Many tree service companies are just a few guys with ropes and chainsaws. Inexperienced workers may inadvertently damage your trees and endanger your property.
- We are licensed and insured. We have deep roots in this community (no pun intended!) and care about the people and the trees here. Unlike some other companies that are simply out to make a few bucks, we strive to treat people honestly and ethically and always do what is in the best interest of our customers and their trees.
- We give free, honest estimates. With our experience, we can determine what a tree needs and give you a fair quote for services. We understand what is needed to service even the largest trees and have the equipment including bucket trucks and tree climbing gear to get the job done. We work efficiently but never compromise on safety.
- We help you navigate the legal process. Many people aren’t aware that a permit may be needed to remove certain trees on their property. Hiring an expert tree company is advisable to make sure you don’t violate the law and get fined. If a tree removal is necessary, we help you submit the required paperwork and obtain a lawful permit.
Tree removal is a dangerous job. We carefully follow all safety regulations and guidelines and every crew member has years of training and experience. A less experienced tree company may end up costing you more money because they lack the skills and equipment to complete the job efficiently and avoid damage to property.
