Do You Need Tree Removal?
Given enough time, a tree will begin to decay and die. Sometimes, a healthy tree can become hazardous due to homes, buildings and other structures near it. Here are a few reasons it could be time to think about calling a tree service in San Mateo, CA to assess whether tree removal is the right choice your property:
- Decaying Trees – A decaying tree has serious damage, whether it’s from rodents and pests, disease, old age or another cause. It needs to be removed from the property before it can infect surrounding trees or fall on a nearby structure.
- Safety & Visibility – Lower limbs can be cut off in order to make the area underneath the tree safer or to create a better view.
- Root Encroachment – Tree roots spread below the soil much farther than the tree canopy. Roots wrap around water lines and push up sidewalks if given the chance. Cutting the tree down eventually kills the roots and prevents them from damaging nearby property.
- Nearby Trees & Plants – A tree that is growing too big for its location affects the smaller trees and plants around it by taking away water and nutrients and limiting their sunlight.
- Power or Phone Lines – Large trees interfere with electrical lines and create a danger for falling. Sometimes the power or phone company may demand these trees to be removed, or you can have trees removed as a precaution.

- Standard Tree Removal – The standard tree removal service includes cutting down the tree, getting rid of the limbs and cutting the trunk into smaller sections for firewood. For an additional cost, technicians can haul the wood away instead.
