Hazardous & Large Tree Removal
Specialized equipment and expert crews for removing dangerous trees and oversized specimens in Salina, KS.
When Trees Become Hazardous
Some trees are just too dangerous to remove with standard methods. Maybe the tree is leaning toward your house. Maybe it has a split trunk that could fail at any moment. Or maybe it is simply massive and needs specialized equipment to bring down safely. These situations require a higher level of expertise and equipment than typical tree removal.
In Salina, we see hazardous trees that have been damaged by storms, diseased by pests, or weakened by age. We also work with property owners who have extremely large trees that are simply too big to remove with regular climbing and cutting techniques. Whatever your situation, our team has the training and equipment to handle it safely.
Signs Your Tree Is a Safety Hazard
Not every large or old tree is dangerous, but certain warning signs mean you should have a professional assessment done soon:
- •The tree is leaning more than 15 degrees from vertical
- •You can see cracks or splits in the trunk or major branches
- •Large sections of the tree are dead or dying
- •The roots are exposed, damaged, or decaying
- •Fungus or mushrooms are growing on the trunk or roots
- •The tree is close to power lines, buildings, or high-traffic areas
Specialized Equipment for Difficult Removals
Large and hazardous trees require more than chainsaws and ropes. We use cranes to lift heavy sections of trees over houses and other obstacles. Our bucket trucks allow us to work safely at heights while maintaining control of each cut. And our team is trained in rigging techniques that let us lower massive branches to the ground without letting them fall.
We also coordinate with utility companies when trees are near power lines. Safety is our top priority on every job. We take the time to plan each cut and each move before we start work. This careful approach means we can remove even the most dangerous trees without injuries or property damage.
How We Remove Hazardous Trees Safely
Every hazardous tree removal starts with a detailed site assessment. We look at the tree condition, the surrounding structures, and potential obstacles. Then we create a removal plan that accounts for every contingency.
For extremely large trees, we might remove the tree in dozens of small sections, working from top to bottom. For leaning or split trees, we use cables and pulleys to control the direction of fall. Throughout the process, we protect your property with ground protection mats and careful planning. After the tree removal is complete, we handle all cleanup and can grind the stump. If you need immediate help, our emergency tree removal services are available 24/7. We also offer cabling and bracing for trees that are not quite ready for removal but need extra support.
