Never attempt to remove a tree yourself.

Attempting to remove a tree by yourself can result in property damage or someone getting hurt; Westchester Tree Life’s team has attended safety training classes to safely and effectively remove your tree!

Before we remove your tree, our tree care professionals can provide you with other options (if there are any available).

What are some signs my tree needs to be removed?  

If your tree is obviously damaged or leaning, it may need to be removed to prevent injury to your family and property.  A leaning tree can fall over under the weight of a winter storm’s snow, ice and harsh winds; prevent a dangerous situation if you have a damaged or leaning tree and call Westchester Tree Life to come assess the damage today!

Has your tree contracted a tree disease?  Your tree’s malady can be contagious and harmful to other trees and plants on your property.  Removing a diseased tree is a necessary preventative measure in keeping the rest of your plants healthy.  If you are unsure whether your tree has a tree disease, or have a question, reach out to Westchester Tree Life using our online form here.

What if my tree has broken branches?

Broken tree branches become lethal during destructive storms, especially during winter.  If you have a broken tree branch, call Westchester Tree Life immediately.

Strong winds can push the branch, weakening it further before it falls onto your roof, car, blocks a road or harms a person.

Tree Removal

Sometimes, it becomes necessary to remove a tree from your property.  The tree may be damaged or diseased to the point where it can’t be treated and won’t recover.  A tree in this condition poses a risk to your property and can even be dangerous.  The last thing you want is for someone to be hurt by a falling tree.

Removing a tree can be a dangerous undertaking.  You should always turn to a professional when the tree in question is damaged by insects or disease, is near power lines, or is more than 20 feet tall.

Tree RemovalAdditionally, some communities have tree removal legislation in place.  This legislation is designed to protect healthy heritage trees or maintain the number of trees in an urban area.  For example, when a tree is removed, some areas require that another tree be planted to make up for the loss.  Navigating these regulations can be tricky, but a professional arborist will be familiar with area policies and can advise you best on how to proceed.

Tree StumpAt Westchester Tree Life, we take great care to plan for the safety of our crew and your property.  Our expert tree removal specialists carefully assess each situation in order to remove a tree with minimal impact on the surrounding vegetation and without risk to nearby structures and power lines.  If you have a tree on your property that you suspect is in need of removal, give us a call!

Winter Tree Emergencies

It’s February in New York without at least one heavy snowfall, and with that comes the risk of property damage if your trees aren’t quite up to the challenge. The same branches that provided you lots of shade in the summer are now catching all the snow and being weighed down to the point where you might have a winter tree emergency. Luckily there are some steps you can take ahead of time to prevent these winter tree emergencies, rather than waiting until a big snowy branch crashes through your living room.

Take some time before it snows to have an arborist prune back some of the branches on your trees, especially if they look dead or weak, and/or hang over your roof. Trees that are covered in vines or ivy are at higher risk as far getting weighed down with snow, so be sure to remove or have someone remove any invasive vines in your trees.

Risk Signs of Winter Tree Emergencies

  • Dead areas – Dead wood is more brittle and prone to snapping.
  • Decay – Hollow or decayed trees are not necessarily unsafe, but it is best to have a trained arborist evaluate any decay.
  • Cracks –  Cracks indicate that a tree is not structurally sound, and can be made worse by the weight of heavy snow.
  • Poor root stability – If a tree is not rooted properly into the ground it is more likely to blow over in heavy winds or snow
  • Leaning – A leaning tree is not necessarily unsafe, but again, a trained arborist can assess if it poses a risk to your property.

If you have a possible winter tree emergency that involves powerlines or other hazards, make sure you call in a professional. Falling branches might hit wires and knock out your power, but attempting to prune those branches yourself can be very dangerous.
