When Should a Tree Be Removed?

Not every damaged tree needs to come down. Pruning may be enough in some cases, but removal may be the better option when a tree is dead, severely decayed, unstable, badly storm-damaged, or creating an ongoing concern near a structure.

Common warning signs include:

Dead or Dying Growth

Widespread dead branches, severe decline, or a lack of healthy growth may indicate that the tree should be evaluated.

Cracks or Visible Decay

Large cracks, hollow areas, or extensive decay can weaken the trunk or major limbs.

Sudden or Increasing Lean

A new lean may point to root damage, soil movement, or structural problems.

Broken or Hanging Limbs

Damaged branches can create concerns near homes, driveways, walkways, and occupied areas.

Major Storm Damage

Strong winds may split trunks, damage roots, or leave parts of the tree unstable.

Too Close to a Structure

A tree’s condition or location may create problems near a home, garage, fence, driveway, utility area, or planned construction project.

Not every warning sign means a tree must be removed. An on-site evaluation can help determine the most practical option.

ISA Certified Arborist-Led Recommendations

Not every damaged or unhealthy tree needs to be removed. Our arborist-led team evaluates the tree’s condition, location, visible defects, and surrounding property before recommending pruning or removal.

This approach helps property owners make a more informed decision based on the tree and the specific conditions around it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company that we have used a couple of times for our tree and bush services. They removed a tree and trimmed some trees a couple of year ago and recently we had them trim several trees and bushes. Josh and his crew are hardworking, friendly, and efficient. The yard was cleared of all debris and looks great. We highly recommend this business!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing tree company. Hard working and detail-oriented. They had a tough job of removing a couple of tress from my backyard and had to work around other trees of varying ages and stages of growth as well as a privacy fence and they not only caused zero damage, they cleaned up so well after themselves that it was almost like nothing happened. They do not disappoint. They have done two different removals for me and both times I have been above and beyond impressed. Wonderful and caring company that “prides themselves on treating yards like their own” and it shows. Don’t think twice…just hire them. They are my tree people from now on, no second thoughts or doubts about it. I wish I’d found them sooner but I’m glad we did when we did. I recommend them 1000/10. Thanks again for the great job on my trees and for being such kind and caring people.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Started searching for tree removal companies in early Sept.2022.  8 out of the 10 companies never called or messaged back. Newsome's came out and looked at the job site,gave me an honest estimate and put me on there list. They were able to move me up the waiting list by ten days. They called ahead of time to make sure everything was a go. Arrived when they said they would and completed the job in one day. Removed a 100 ft. oak tree and stump, another existing large oak stump, and topped a large hickory tree. Cleaned up work areas very nicely when done. The work crew knew their job and kept busy and were very professional. Earned every one of the five stars in the rating i gave them. Keeping in touch with me was the most important factor when so many other companies did not bother to respond. Many thanks to Newsome's tree surgery service for their help, Jay Mosier.
