Improper tree cutting can have both immediate and long-term consequences:
- Structural weakness: Removing too many limbs or cutting in the wrong areas can destabilize the tree.
- Disease exposure: Cuts made without proper sanitation or technique can introduce decay and pathogens.
- Regrowth issues: Some types of improper pruning—such as “topping”—can cause rapid, unhealthy regrowth that’s more prone to breakage.
- Liability risks: Unstable trees or falling branches can damage neighboring properties or injure pedestrians.
We use methods that preserve tree health and comply with city codes and safety standards.
In many cases, homeowners are unaware of how even small mistakes in cutting can lead to long-term damage. For example, weakening a tree’s structure may not show visible effects right away, but over time it can increase the risk of collapse during storms or high winds. Additionally, improper tree cutting can violate local regulations, leading to fines or legal issues if the tree is protected or near utility lines.
That’s why relying on professionals is crucial. Certified arborists and trained crews not only follow proper techniques, but also assess the tree’s overall condition, location, and surrounding environment before making any cuts. This ensures the job is done safely, legally, and in a way that promotes the tree’s long-term health.
