Trees in the St. Louis area can grow to be over 100 feet tall and weigh over 100,000 pounds! These woody monsters commonly reach out over 3 to 4 different houses. While trees are wonderful assets, here are some indications that your tree should be removed:
While some trees can be removed from the ground, many trees must be accessed via an arial lift or a climber. At Arbortech, we mainly use climbers who are trained to safely dismantle trees of all shapes and sizes. We like to think of like a giant reverse jigsaw puzzle. We take pride in our work and always avoid damaging property at all costs. We even watch out for your lawn by employing tree removal methods that minimize dents and divots. We care for your property as if it is our own. You can rest assured that your tree problem is in good hands with Arbortech.
Whenever you call Arbortech to remove a tree, we will leave your lawn looking as good (if not better) than we found it. If dents and dimples do occur to your lawn during the tree removal process, we will repair the dents; you'll never know we were there.
A dead tree should be removed as soon as possible to lessen the chance of part of the tree falling and causing damage to something or someone. Also, it is cheaper to remove a dead tree sooner than later, as dead trees decay rapidly, and few tree services want to deal with a tree that has been dead for any length of time.
This all depends on how large the hollow spot is, how much weight is being supported by the area around the hollow spot, and what the tree could damage if it failed. Generally speaking, if you discover a large hollow spot in your tree, an arborist should be consulted.
