PROFESSIONAL TREE REMOVAL
Tree Removal With Careful Planning
Tree removal is an important property decision, particularly when mature or established trees are involved.
A tree may need to be considered for removal because of significant decline, structural concerns, storm damage, conflicts with the property, or changing landscape conditions. The appropriate decision depends on the individual tree and its surroundings.
NEHS approaches tree removal with professional arboricultural knowledge and careful planning, considering both the tree and the property around it before work begins.
KNOW WHEN TO ASK AN ARBORIST
Signs It May Be Time to Consider Tree Removal
Tree removal may become necessary when a tree is dead, significantly declining, structurally compromised, storm damaged, or creating serious conflicts with the surrounding property.
Dead Trees
A dead tree may require removal depending on its size, location, condition, and potential impact on the surrounding property.
Significant Decline
Advanced canopy decline or deterioration may justify professional evaluation to determine whether the tree can reasonably be retained.
Structural Concerns
Major defects or structural conditions can require closer evaluation before deciding whether management or removal is appropriate.
Storm Damage
Severe wind, snow, ice, or other weather events can cause damage that changes a tree's condition and management options.
Property Conflicts
Some trees may create significant conflicts with structures, construction plans, access, utilities, or other important property features.
Landscape Changes
Renovations or major landscape changes may require decisions about existing trees and how they fit into the property's future plans.

THE RIGHT DECISION COMES FIRST
Removal Is Not Always the First Answer
A tree that looks unhealthy or concerning does not automatically need to be removed. Some conditions may be addressed through pruning, Plant Health Care, monitoring, or another management approach. Other trees may have declined or deteriorated to a point where removal becomes the more appropriate option.
NEHS considers the condition of the tree, its surroundings, and the reason for concern before recommending a course of action.
The objective is straightforward: make an informed decision before removing an established tree.
