Not every problem tree needs to be removed. Here's how to decide the right approach.
If the tree is generally healthy but has overgrown branches, dead limbs, or clearance issues, professional trimming can address the problem while preserving the tree.
Trimming is also right when branches are rubbing against your house, blocking views, or creating too much shade.
If more than 50% of the tree is damaged, the trunk has major structural defects, or the tree is dead or dying, removal is usually the better choice.
Trees that are too close to structures with no way to manage the risk through trimming should also be considered for removal.
Get a professional opinion. An experienced arborist can assess the tree's health and structure and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
