Tree Removal
Expert tree removal regardless of tree size or location
Why Tree Removal is Sometimes the Only Solution
We love trees. They provide shade, boost property value, and keep our air clean.
At Tree Lion - Tree Service, our first instinct is always to save a tree whenever possible. However, as arborists, we also have to recognize when a tree has transitioned from a landscape asset to a significant liability.
Why proactive removal matters:
While "removal" is often the last resort, there are specific scenarios where it becomes the only responsible choice for the safety of your home and your family.
- Safety First: Protect your family and neighbors from falling limbs and trees.
- Save Your Home: Prevent roof, siding, and gutter damage before it happens.
- Total Peace of Mind: Sleep easy knowing your property is storm-ready.
Stop crossing your fingers every time the wind picks up. Let’s get that hazard out of there. Small or large tree removals, no matter the location or condition of the tree, you can count on the tree removal experts at Tree Lion Tree Service to remove your tree professional and safely.
🦺 Safety & Hazard Prevention
Safety is the #1 reason for tree removal. If a tree poses a risk to people or property, action is often mandatory.
- Structural Instability: Trees with deep cracks in the trunk, "leaning" suddenly, or showing signs of root heave.
- Storm Damage: Limbs or trunks split by high winds, ice, or lightning that cannot be safely braced or cabled.
- Proximity to Power Lines: Trees that have grown into high-voltage lines and cannot be safely pruned without destroying the tree’s health.
- Encroachment: Roots that are cracking foundations, lifting sidewalks, or damaging underground plumbing and sewer lines.
🩺 Tree Health & Disease
Sometimes, a tree is beyond saving. Removing a sick tree can often save the rest of your landscape.
- Irreversible Decay: If more than 50% of the tree is damaged or hollow, it is usually a candidate for removal.
- Pest Infestations: Invasive species like the Emerald Ash Borer or Pine Bark Beetles can kill trees quickly and spread to neighbors.
- Fungal Infections: Visible shelf mushrooms (conks) on the trunk often indicate internal rot.
- Deadwood: A completely dead tree becomes brittle and unpredictable, making it a "falling hazard" waiting to happen.
🏡 Land Management & Aesthetics
Removal isn't always about death or danger; sometimes it's about the future of the property.
- New Construction: Clearing space for home additions, garages, pools, or new driveways.
- Thinning/Competition: Removing "volunteer" trees or crowded specimens to allow sunlight and nutrients to reach more desirable plants.
- View Restoration: Removing trees that have blocked scenic views or are shedding excessive debris into gutters and pools.
- Landscape Redesign: Replacing an "out of place" or messy species with a tree that better fits the local climate and soil.
