When Tree Removal Makes Sense
When thinking about removing a tree, always remember that it's not an easy task and definitely not a safe one for someone who's not a professional arborist. If a tree is dying or already dead, its branches can break off at any time and fall, harming people or property in their way. Trying to fell trees or remove branches on your own can result in situations where people get hurt and things get damaged.
Even though it's not a good idea to try and take down that tree yourself, you can check your tree to see if you need to ask for professional help. There are a couple of recognizable signs you can look for to see what condition your tree is in. If you spot any of these, give us a call and we'll be there to set your tree predicament right.

What to Know Before You Remove a Tree
There are a few recognizable signs you can look for to see what condition your tree is in.
First of all, you're going to want to examine your tree to see if it's leaning over more than standing up straight. Try to get a little distance away from the tree so you can get a clear view of the whole thing and see if it's leaning heavily to one side. If the tree is leaning over heavily, it can be one of the signs that it has died inside and is at risk of falling. If you're not sure whether or not the tree has always been leaning like that or if it's a new development, you can consult our professional arborists to get an experienced opinion on the health of your tree.
The next thing you can do is take a look at the base of the tree. The roots of a tree are one of the strongest indicators of its health. Try and pay attention to what the ground looks like around the base of the tree. If you can see that the roots of the tree are decaying or damaged then this is a pretty clear sign that the tree has lost part of its structural support. At times, this could even mean that it has lost all of its structural support and is at risk of falling at any time. If you notice any space between the roots and the ground then this is an even greater sign that your tree is at risk of collapsing. The amount of sawdust or fungus around the base of your tree is another indicator of a sick or dying tree.
Finally, take a look at the trunk of the tree. Cavities and cracks can also be a sign of structural damage and/or sickness. If there are large pieces of bark missing from your tree, that's another sign of damage.
Cost for tree removal in North Andover varies by the size of the tree or trees to be removed, as well as the scope of work. If large equipment is needed to be brought in to safely and properly remove the tree, we will provide you with a well priced and reasonable quote for the job. If we are able to remove branches and trees with our climbers, then we will advise you on what the best course of action is and what the cost will be for any size project. Removing a tree often leaves a stump behind — if you'd like that ground level too, ask us about our stump grinding services as well. Call us today, or simply fill out a quote form to get a free estimate for removing trees on your property.
If we aren't able to answer the phone, we are probably up a tree or using chainsaws. Simply leave us a message and we will call you back at our earliest convenience.
We start by walking the site with you to confirm the plan and make sure vehicles, gardens, and anything else nearby is protected. From there we take the tree down in sections when space is tight, using ropes and rigging to lower pieces safely instead of letting them drop. Once the tree is on the ground, we haul away the wood and brush and leave your property clean, and if you would like the stump handled the same day, we can usually grind it while we are there.
Every job starts with a free, no-obligation estimate, so you know the cost and timeline before anything is scheduled. Most removals wrap up in a single visit, and we do a final walk-through with you afterward to make sure the site is left exactly the way you want it.
