Why Tree Removal is Important

Trees add beauty and value to property, but sometimes they must be removed to protect your home and land. Professional tree removal ensures:

• Safety – Hazard trees can be taken down without damaging structures or power lines.

• Improved property use – Clearing trees for new construction, driveways, or landscaping.

• Pest and disease control – Removing dead or diseased trees prevents spread to healthy ones.

• Reduced fire risk – Thinning or clearing overgrown areas lowers wildfire hazards.

Property owners often request:

Before starting a project, check with your local planning department or hire a contractor familiar with county requirements.

Depending on the size and location of the tree, removal may involve:
