Tree Removal Jackson, WY

Even trees of a modest height are incredibly heavy and can create a dangerous situation. We don’t want anyone to be harmed, either before the tree is removed or during the process of taking it out. TLC is focused on safety above all else when it comes to our tree removal projects. Our professional team work with caution and care from start to finish.

The decision on whether or not to remove a tree will be based on a number of factors. It can be hard to determine if a tree needs to come down without professional training, so it’s best to make this choice with the guidance of an experienced arborist. Some signs of potential trouble include the following:

• Infection. Crown dieback, cracks (deep splits in the tree’s bark), misshapen or discolored leaves, soft crumbly wood, and the appearance of fungi may indicate that your tree is infected.
• Pests. Some signs that your tree has unwanted pests include emergence holes, feeding galleries, and woodpeckers feeding heavily on the tree.
• Dead Branches. Large, dead branches in the tree’s crown can be a sign that the tree should be removed. These are sometimes referred to as widow-makers, because they can fall for seemingly no reason and seriously injure people below. If 50% or more of the tree is dead or damaged, it should likely be removed as soon as possible.
• Poor Growth. Take a look at the health and vigor of your tree compared to others growing near it. Thin leaf cover, discolored foliage, and stunted growth are all signs your tree is having trouble and should be diagnosed by a professional.
• Root Defects. Root defects are not often noticeable, but heaving soil and fungi growing near the tree’s base are both signs of root issues.
• Trunk Compromised. Cracks or splits, large wounds, and dead branch stubs on the tree’s trunk all indicate internal decay. Some trees can handle internal decay and remain standing for a while, but it’s just a matter of time before they eventually fall.
• Hollow. A tree with a hollow trunk has been seriously compromised and is a hazard. If a third of the tree is rotted or hollow inside, it needs to be removed.
• Leaning. This one is easy for anyone to spot, and you probably don’t need to be told that it could be dangerous. What you might not know is that a leaning tree could be perfectly safe and stable—but it’s best to have it checked out, just to be sure.

The presence of one or more of these points doesn’t mean a given tree must be removed, but these warning signs certainly warrant attention and a visit from a professional arborist for further examination.

If you have a tree that is dead or hazardous to your property, the TLC team of certified arborists can remove it. We have on-staff tree climbing specialists as well as aerial lift removal capabilities for removing your hazard tree. Once the tree removal job is done, we’ll chip and dispose of all the tree’s material, including stump grinding the below ground material to make room for a new planting.
