Common questions about tree removal.
Can I request an estimate from photos?
Photos can begin the review. Include the full tree from multiple angles, the trunk base, visible damage, nearby structures or lines, and the access route. An on-site visit may still be needed before the scope is finalized.
Can a tree touching a power line be removed?
Do not approach the tree or try to move any part of it. Contact the electric utility first and wait for the utility to address or clear the line hazard before arranging tree removal.
