Tree Removal
Tree Removal
Although many northwest trees can be saved through proper pruning and maintenance, there are circumstances when tree removal is necessary. At Elite Tree Care & Tree Service our Certified Arborists can help you decide if and when your tree should be removed. Tree removals are performed to remove dead or dying trees, or when they are considered a hazard that cannot be mitigated through other means. Sometimes trees are removed because of crowding, lack of space, damage to adjacent structures, or because they are located in an area where new construction requires removal.
Tree removals are generally the most hazardous aspect of arboriculture. We often remove trees with major decay and weakened structural integrity that are in close proximity to buildings, utility lines, or complex landscape features with little access. Our specialists are highly skilled and trained in the use of complex rigging techniques, mechanical lowering devices, and the use of cranes for lowering wood safely.
At Elite Tree Care, our goal in all of our tree service operations is to perform the job safely, efficiently, and provide thorough clean up with minimal impact to the surrounding vegetation and area.
Tree Removal Permits
Many municipalities in the Seattle Metro area require a permit for removing trees. Permitting can be based on the size and the location of the tree, whether the tree is a hazard, whether it is a street tree, an invasive species, dead or dying, or whether your property adjoins other environmental overlays such as greenspaces or wetlands. The arborists at Elite Tree Care can help you determine whether permits apply and assist you in obtaining the relevant permits.
