Sometimes, a tree’s problems become so widespread that they can no longer be salvaged, but removing a tree is a serious undertaking. With over 50 years of experience in the St. Louis region, the Jackson team knows the local environment extensively. We safely and quickly assess a tree’s state, deciding if tree removal is the best mode of attack. We can also remove trees obstructing homes, foundations, sidewalks, driveways, underground pipes, or power lines.
To manage large pieces of falling wood, tree removal requires careful planning, precise cutting, and expert rigging. We maintain a favorable reputation for quick and safe tree removal while protecting the rest of your landscape and property. Tree removal services include stump grinding, removing shrubs down to the roots, and ensuring they do not grow back.
How Do You Know If Your Tree Needs To Be Removed?
- The tree is invasive: Invasive trees may look good, but they can cause significant damage to your surrounding native trees by fighting for light.
- The tree has pest damage: Pest won’t always be the main reason for removal, but it is essential to call JTS if you notice borer holes in your tree, especially if it’s an ash tree.
- The tree is in a bad location: Occasionally, you may have a perfectly healthy tree, and over time, it grows in a bad area, for example, close to your house or right under a power line where limbs will grow into it. That’s why removing hazardous trees is essential while they are younger, smaller, and easier to deal with.
- The tree is dead or dying: If it is dead or dying, it always makes sense to go along with the removal process quickly to avoid damage in the case of a storm or heavy winds.
- The tree leans: If you notice a noticeable prominent lean, it’s crucial to call a certified arborist to recommend the best removal process.
- The tree has a fungal disease: If you notice wilting falling leaves or large indent in the wood, or maybe scabs on your fruit trees, there’s a good chance your tree is diseased. While not all diseases are fatal, they are all important and should be treated as soon as needed to avoid the removal process.
Why You Shouldn’t Do Tree Removal Yourself
Tree removal poses severe risks for homeowners in St. Louis, primarily due to the presence of power lines. Falling branches, limbs, or even whole trees can strike power lines, leading to power outages in the neighborhood. Furthermore, there is a real danger of accidentally coming into contact with these lines during removal. It’s crucial to approach tree removal cautiously and consider professional assistance to ensure safety.
There is also the danger of falling when cutting down your tree. Even if the tree is perfectly healthy, removal still means having to climb the tree, and there’s also the risk that you’re going to fall out, either because you lose your balance because a branch breaks, because the ladder falls, or because the tools are too heavy and unwieldy.
