Let’s start off with the basics!
We are not here to ensure your overgrown hazard survives. We are here to protect your investments that are hiding in the shadows of what might have been put off for a little too long. If you want your trees to survive, we can recommend an arborist. If you want some sunlight back into your yard, we got you!
Overgrown trees, especially those that are dead, diseased, or damaged, present serious safety risks.
Risk of falling branches and trees: The sheer weight of heavy, untrimmed limbs or a tree weakened by age, disease, or pests makes it susceptible to snapping or uprooting during strong winds or storms. This can cause severe injury or even death to people and pets below.
Electrical hazards: Branches that grow into or too close to power lines can cause sparks, electrical outages, and fires, creating a dangerous situation for an entire neighborhood.
Obstructed visibility and access: Low-hanging branches can create blind spots for drivers and pedestrians on roads and walkways, increasing the risk of accidents. Overgrown trees can also obstruct emergency access to a property
The unchecked growth of trees can cause thousands of dollars in property damage, both above and below ground.
Root system damage: Aggressive tree roots can damage building foundations, underground utility pipes, and paving. They can crack driveways and sidewalks, creating tripping hazards and requiring costly repairs.
Damage from falling limbs: During storms, fallen branches can cause extensive damage to roofs, gutters, vehicles, fences, and sheds.
Impact on structures: Overhanging limbs can rub against a home's roof or siding, wearing down materials and creating entry points for water and pests. A large, overgrown tree close to a structure could also fall directly onto a building.
That house—that right there was me. A solid, sturdy place, surrounded by towering ticking time bombs. Three peaceful years had gone by, and I was beginning to think my fear was unwarranted. One stormy night, fierce winds battered the neighborhood. When dawn broke, several of those magnificent trees had fallen, crashing onto my roof and leaving destruction in their wake. The cleanup was overwhelming, but what struck me most was the realization that these trees, which had long seemed invincible, needed careful attention and care.
In the aftermath, I learned a hard lesson: tree care is about safety, health, and respect for nature’s power.
Determined to manage this myself, I immersed in learning how to safely climb and remove problematic trees. I took classes, practiced with experienced arborists, and invested in the right equipment. It was challenging and humbling at first—mastering knots, harnesses, and cutting techniques—but gradually, I gained confidence. Removing a dead branch or a precarious tree became not only a responsibility but a way to reconnect with the environment around my home, ensuring safety for myself and my neighbors.
Now the house stands stronger, not just because repairs were made, but because the threats from the living giants around it have been removed. The experience transformed me—from a passive observer to an active guardian of my own little forest.
