Here Are Some Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on your location and the size or species of the tree. In many areas, permits are required for certain removals—especially for heritage or protected trees. We can help you determine whether a permit is needed and assist with the application process if necessary.
Signs include significant lean, dead or falling branches, trunk damage, root upheaval, and disease. If you're unsure, we offer inspections to assess whether removal is necessary or if the tree can be saved with pruning or bracing.
Pruning is generally best done in late winter or early spring when trees are dormant, but this varies by species and condition. Some maintenance or safety-related pruning can be done year-round.
