How do I know if a tree is too close to power lines?

If tree branches are within ten feet of utility lines, it’s time to contact a certified arborist. Never attempt to prune or remove trees near power lines yourself due to serious safety risks.

Can a leaning tree be saved?

Sometimes. If the lean is caused by uneven growth or minor soil movement, cabling or staking may help. A suddenly leaning tree often indicates root failure and requires immediate professional evaluation.

What happens if I leave a dead tree standing?

Dead trees become brittle and unstable over time, increasing the risk of falling branches or total collapse—especially during storms or high winds.

When is the best time of year to remove a tree?

Winter is often ideal because trees are dormant, ground conditions are typically firmer, and removal causes less disruption to surrounding plants.

Should I replant after removing a tree?

Yes. Replanting helps restore balance to your landscape. Selecting smaller, slower-growing species suited to your soil and available space is usually the best approach.
