Tree removal permits are required and must be obtained through your city’s Public Works department. In most cases, permits are only granted for trees that pose a risk to safety or property. It is unlikely that an inspector will approve the removal of a healthy tree in a suitable location. However, trees that are structurally compromised due to decay, storm damage, or changes in their surroundings may qualify for removal.

One of the most common reasons for tree removal in recent years is the spread of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), which has devastated ash tree populations in the area. As these trees succumb to infestation, they become increasingly hazardous due to their size, weight, and the sheer volume of wood involved in removal. Handling ash trees requires specialized expertise and equipment, and our team is fully equipped to safely and efficiently manage the process.
