When should you remove a tree?
A tree may need removal for safety, disease or property reasons. Here's how to tell and what it costs.
Signs a tree may need removal
Dead or leaning trees, large cracks in the trunk, major root damage, or disease that can't be treated are common reasons.
Trimming vs. removal
If a tree is healthy but too close to structures, trimming or cabling may be enough. Removal is for trees that are a risk or already dead.
Cost and safety
Removal ranges from a few hundred to over $2,500 depending on size and access. Large or risky trees are best handled by a professional.
