At Bratt Tree Company, we specialize in the safe removal of trees, ensuring your property and landscaping remain beautiful, healthy, and secure. Our team handles everything, including debris cleanup, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Signs You Need Tree Removal

If a tree is a safety risk, it’s best to take it down before it comes down on its own. Recognizing when a tree needs to be removed can prevent property damage and tragedy. If you notice any of these signs, call Bratt Tree Company to schedule tree removal:

• Dead or dying tree: If your tree shows no signs of life, it might fall down during the next storm.
• Leaning tree: A tree that suddenly leans can be a major hazard.
• Structural damage: Cracks or splits in the trunk or branches can compromise a tree’s stability.
• Diseased or infested tree: Disease or a pest infestation can kill your tree, making it likely to fall.
• Overcrowded or competing trees: Trees that are too close together compete for sunlight and nutrients, harming each other’s growth.
• Construction or landscaping conflicts: Trees obstructing new construction or landscape plans may need to be removed.

Common Causes of Tree Removal

There are many reasons why a tree might need to be removed. The number one concern is safety; if a tree is weak, dead, or unstable, it might come down at any time, causing damage to property, vehicles, pets, and/or people.

We most commonly remove trees due to:

• Storm damage: Strong winds and heavy rain can cause severe damage to trees, leaving them weak and more likely to come down.
• Disease and pests: Trees affected by diseases or pests, like the emerald ash borer, often require removal.
• Age and natural decline: Older trees may naturally decline in health and pose risks.
• Root damage: Damaged roots can destabilize a tree, making it unsafe.
• Human activity: Construction, improper pruning, and other human activities can damage trees beyond repair.

Emergency Tree Removal

When a tree poses an immediate risk to your property or safety, Bratt Tree Company is here to help with emergency tree removal services. Emergencies include trees that have fallen and are blocking access, trees that have come into contact with power lines, or severe storm damage that poses an immediate threat.

During emergencies, always prioritize your safety — keep a safe distance away from the damaged tree, avoid power lines, and call our professional team to handle the situation quickly and safely.

Alternatives to Tree Removal

Not every tree problem requires removal. The experienced team at Bratt Tree Company can assess your tree and make recommendations for alternative solutions, such as:

• Pruning and maintenance: Regular pruning can address and prevent many issues, from dead branches to overgrowth.
• Cabling and bracing: This technique can stabilize a tree with structural weaknesses, giving it the support it needs until it grows to support itself.
• Relocation: In some cases, smaller trees can be carefully uprooted and moved to a more suitable location.
