Fast Service After Storms
If lightning strikes the trees in your yard, General Tree Service offers quick service for those with emergency situations. General, tree storm damage will either affect your home or surrounding utilities. If the damaged tree is located near power lines or buildings, removal requires special care and planning so no further damage is incurred.
When that damage is close to your home, you not only run the risk of broken windows and damage to the roofing, but a branch can also fall on a member of your family. Our crews have the expertise and equipment to deal with complex removals and service all sizes of residential, commercial, and municipal properties.

WHEN SHOULD YOU REMOVE A TREE?
Here are some situations where tree removal may be recommended to limit potential hazards that could cause harm to your property or family.
- Dead or dying trees more apt to topple in strong winds and cause damage.

The Benefits of Tree Removal
If you’re having a tree emergency, then removal of the tree might be necessary. The tree might not be there to provide its normal benefits to your home, but removing the tree has its benefits as well.
Some common benefits of professional tree removal include:
- Prevents injuries
- Prevents damages to the home
- It saves you time and money
- Professionals clean up after themselves
- Prevents underground root damage to pipes and utility lines
Whether the tree is in an emergency situation or not, you might be tempted to try and save a few bucks and remove the tree yourself. However, this is a lot more dangerous than it sounds and isn’t recommended. Hiring a professional is safer, and is sure to save you in the end because a professional is prepared for any unforeseen problem.
Common Side Effects of a Sick Tree
Any sick and dying trees in your yard are considered to be potentially dangerous. That is why it is vital that the homeowner has the tree removed as soon as possible. Of course, you must first be able to point out when the tree is showing signs of sickness or death.Common signs of sickness and death in a tree include:
- Missing bark
- Leaves with yellow or red lines on them
- The tree no longer blooms
- Increased number of fallen branches
- Mushrooms growing at the base
There are many reasons why a homeowner decides to have a tree removed. Some situations call for it because the tree has become a hazard, while others get trees removed for aesthetic reasons. Whatever the reason, it is crucial to always call our professional arborists at General Tree Service when you are in need of tree removal services. We will ensure the job is done safely and efficiently every time.
