How Can I Tell if a Tree Needs Removing?

Determining whether a tree needs to be removed is crucial for maintaining the safety and aesthetics of your property. Here are some signs that your tree may need removal:


  • Visible Damage: Major damage to over 50% of the tree, such as from storms or disease, often necessitates removal.
  • Diseased Tree: Signs of disease include discolored leaves, dying branches, and fungal growth at the tree's base.
  • Structural Problems: Trees with hollow or decayed trunks are structurally unsound and pose a significant risk.
  • Leaning Tree: A sudden lean indicates instability, especially if there are exposed roots or cracked soil at the base.
  • Dead Branches: Large, dead branches in the tree's crown are dangerous, as they can fall without warning.
  • Location Issues: Trees too close to buildings, power lines, or obstructing sightlines may need removal for safety.


Regular inspection by a professional can help identify these issues early, ensuring timely and safe tree removal when necessary.

Frequently Asked Tree Removal Questions

  • Is There a Way to Save a Dying Tree?

    Saving a dying tree depends on the cause of its decline and how early it is addressed:


    • Proper Diagnosis: Consulting an arborist to diagnose the issue is the first step. Diseases, pests, or environmental stressors can often be treated.
    • Pruning: Removing dead or diseased branches can help rejuvenate a tree.
    • Adequate Watering and Mulching: Providing sufficient water and mulch can improve soil conditions and support tree health.
    • Fertilization: Appropriate fertilization can address nutrient deficiencies.
    • Preventive Care: Regular maintenance and monitoring can prevent future issues.

    In some cases, if the tree is too far gone, removal might be the only safe option.


  • When is the Best Time to Remove a Tree?

    The ideal time for tree removal generally depends on the tree's condition and species:


    1. Dormant Season: Late winter or early spring, when trees are dormant, is often the best time. The lack of leaves allows for better visibility and easier handling.
    2. Emergency Situations: Hazardous trees or those damaged by storms should be removed immediately, regardless of the season.
    3. Non-Dormant Removal: In some cases, immediate removal may be necessary due to safety concerns or construction projects, even if the tree is not dormant.

    Professional advice is crucial in determining the optimal time for removal, considering both the tree's condition and safety concerns.


  • Can a Tree be Removed from a Tight Spot?

    Removing a tree from a confined space is challenging but possible with the right expertise and equipment:


    • Specialized Techniques: Arborists use techniques like sectional dismantling, where the tree is cut and removed in sections.
    • Crane Assistance: In extremely tight spots, cranes may be used to lift sections of the tree out safely.
    • Rigging Equipment: Advanced rigging techniques ensure that each section is safely lowered to the ground without damaging nearby property.

    At Hershberger Tree Service, we specialize in safely removing trees from tight spots, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum safety.


  • What is The Tree Removal Process?

    1. Tree inspection: Every tree removal begins with a thorough assessment. We evaluate the tree's condition, location, and the best approach for removal.


    2. Crafting a Plan: We plan each step carefully, considering all safety measures and the most efficient way to remove the tree.


    3. Removal of Tree: Using state-of-the-art equipment, our experienced arborists safely remove the tree, ensuring minimal impact on the surrounding area.


    4. Clean-Up and Follow up: After the removal, we clean up all debris, leaving your property neat and tidy. We can also do a follow up to make sure you are satisfied and to suggest replacement trees to plant.
