It is crucial to maintain the health of trees by being vigilant and taking immediate action if any signs of disease or infestation are observed. Proper care and maintenance can help in prolonging the life of trees and ensuring the well-being of nearby trees. If there is any change in the appearance of a tree or something seems off, it is advisable to contact an Arborist. These professionals are trained to evaluate the trees and determine the necessary measures for its health and the safety of surrounding trees. It is best to rely on a professional Tree Service to evaluate the situation, suggest a plan of action, and execute it properly. If a disease or pest infestation is detected early, the tree may not require removal. Arborists can use soapy solutions or chemical treatments as a solution. Hence, it is essential to contact a Tree Service as soon as a problem is suspected.

It is important to regularly trim your trees to keep them healthy. Trees can suffer damage from broken or decaying branches and extreme weather. Like humans, trees age and their body is made up of different parts like branches, bark, and roots. Regular trimming can help identify any possible issues that may arise.

To start, a Tree Service will assess the tree for any limbs that can be removed without affecting its health. These branches or arms are not beneficial to the tree and removing them reduces the risk of disease and unexpected breakage. It is important to remove them before they cause any harm to people or objects. Afterwards, the Arborist will inspect the tree for signs of sickness or contamination and eliminate them. This step will prevent the spread of parasites or infection to the unaffected areas of the tree. Any branches or stems that have already been impaired and will eventually perish should also be extracted at this point.​

Once the other necessary steps have been taken care of, the Tree Service will assess the tree's trunk. We will trim and shape the tree to promote its well-being and strength. Any sections that are hindering the tree's growth will be removed. If the tree is situated near a building, an Arborist will take into account the surrounding environment and trim the tree in a way that encourages it to grow away from the structure. This is an ongoing process that should be performed routinely. If the tree poses a potential danger to a roof or garage, we can take proactive measures by trimming it to prevent any future issues.

The professional Arborist will always try to find other solutions like trimming or cutting a tree before considering removing it altogether. However, safety is of utmost importance, and if the tree poses a risk, it must be taken down. It is better to have the tree removed in a controlled manner than to wait for it to fall on its own and cause damage or injury. If the tree is weak, it could be easily blown away by the wind, causing destruction to property and people. In situations where the tree is dead, dying, or severely affected by a disease, it must be removed as it is too hazardous to keep.

Cutting down a tree is not recommended for ordinary individuals due to the potential hazards involved. It can cause damage to other trees, power lines, buildings, and properties, and it can even endanger people's lives. However, a professional tree service possesses the necessary skills, knowledge, experience, and equipment to perform the task securely and efficiently. An arborist can employ various techniques to bring down the tree and safely remove it. It is preferable to engage a team of specialists who are qualified and trained to undertake this job. 

One must not overlook the possible dangers of trees situated in close proximity to power lines. The high voltage of electricity carried by these lines can ignite fires if the trees are in close proximity. Although the electricity can still jump from the line to the tree even without direct contact, the risk can be minimized if there is a distance of at least 3 meters between the two.

It's important for homeowners to inspect their trees for potential dangers, but they should refrain from attempting to trim any trees near power lines. This task should be left to an expert arborist, and a brief power outage may need to be scheduled. If any issues are detected, it's crucial to contact the utility company right away to arrange for the necessary work and restore power. It's important to consider the potential growth of trees when planting them. Don't place them too close to powerlines or under them.


Take into account the available space when deciding which trees to plant. Keep in mind that utility companies need easy access to transformers, so leave at least 3 meters of clearance around them to avoid any hindrance from plants, shrubs, or trees.
