Although most quality trees have few problems, occasionally problems arise that are so serious the tree must be removed because it poses a hazard to people and property. A tree may be a hazard if:

• Trunk has shifted from a vertical to a leaning position
• Angle of trunk lean has become more acute
• Tree has been struck by lightening
• Signs of severe disease
• Large percentage of dying limbs
• Abnormally large cracks in trunk
• Hollow cavities in trunk or major limbs
• Rotting areas in trunk or major limbs
• History of major root disturbance, damage, or destruction
• Tree growing too close to home, sidewalk, or driveway
• Lesser quality tree reaching end of its life span
• Wind or other storm damage
• Adjacent trees dying or falling
• Soil level around tree raised or lowered more than an inch
• Large percentage of leaves develop unusual color or size inconsistent with current season

When removal is necessary, Ray Williamson Tree Service crew will carefully remove the tree. Thanks to our years of experience, we know how to remove trees without damaging surrounding structures and trees. Our 60 foot bucket truck allows us to remove even the tallest trees safely. After the work is done all debris will be cleaned up and disposed of utilizing our chipper shredder machine.
Be sure take advantage of Ray Williamson Tree Service's stump grinding service. Stump grinding puts an end to waiting years for the unsightly stump to rot, wasting money on stump rotting potions that don't work, or mowing around the offending stump forever. Stump grinding removes all evidence there was ever a tree in the spot. The stump is ground off below surface level so you can plant in or near the stump ground area immediately.

It is also leaning over the house and roof.   (Center) This image shows the tree leaning much too closely to the home and roof.  (Right) Ray Williamson Tree Service's skilled crew has safely removed the offending tree with absolutely no damage to the home, roof, or the patio and wall.
