Tree removal can be a messy and dangerous job for homeowners — a professional tree removal service can help you avoid the risks of damage to people or property during the process.
Professional Tree Removal Services by Certified Arborists
When considering tree removal, it is important to consult with a trained arborist, who can evaluate the tree and provide recommendations on how to address the situation.
In some cases, pruning may be able to extend the life of the tree, avoiding removal altogether. In others, the tree may require removal due to disease, structural issues, or just being in the wrong spot. A knowledgeable arborist can help you figure out what is best for each individual tree.
At Baum Tree Care, our professional tree removal services include:
- Safe removal of the tree
- Chipping all the branches
- Cleaning all wood and chips from the site
- Stump grinding
Tree Removal Services and Beyond
When removing a tree, we chip the small branches into mulch and remove all large pieces of wood and mulch from the property.
Some clients may wish to have us leave the branches and other wood behind to take care of on their own, which lowers the cost of removal considerably. We can also leave the wood chip mulch from your tree. This can be used to mulch your gardens and feed the soil.
If you want to hold onto any of the materials from your tree, just let us know. We aim to accommodate your preferences and provide customized solutions that best fit your requirements.
Reasons for Tree Removal
There are several reasons for tree removal, including:
- Incurable diseases, such as Emerald Ash Borer or Beech Bark Disease
- Structural issues, caused by decay, storm damage or previous pruning
- A problematic location, close to utility wires, a building,
- Building new structure/adding addition
- Tree death due to severe droughts
However, in some cases, tree removal may not be necessary at all! Our team can help you evaluate whether your tree needs to be removed or if there is a pruning solution.
Supporting Wildlife with Habitat Trees
In natural ecosystems trees die and break down over time, leaving habitat for wildlife. In the urban forest, we lack these places for birds and other creatures to nest. For suitable trees and backyards, we can remove the crown of your tree, leaving the trunk as a habitat tree.
If you have a tree to be removed and would like to know if it would be a suitable habitat tree let us know!
Choosing a Tree Removal Company?
Whatever the reason for your tree removal, you want to ensure that your removal is done in a safe and professional way. Before hiring a tree removal company, you should ask some of the following questions:
- Do you have a trained arborist on your team? Are they ISA certified?
- Do you use personal protective equipment (PPE) on the job?
- Do you have WSIB insurance coverage for your workers?
- Do you carry liability insurance?
