Tree Removal Service in Charlotte, Lake Norman & Asheville

Diseased or Dead Trees

It's never an easy decision to remove a tree, but sometimes it's necessary for a dead or actively dying tree or a severely diseased tree. You might notice a lot of strange fungal growth on the trunk or major limbs, cracks or splits in the trunk, or a tree that's starting to lean as signs a tree is at the end of its life. Removal of these sick trees is often the best way to protect your property and keep other trees healthy.

Safety Hazards

Safety is always our top concern. Sometimes, trees can pose risks to structures, power lines, or areas where people frequently walk or drive. We've seen trees growing too close to buildings, branches hanging over roofs or power lines, trees with a significant lean, or those with compromised root systems. Removing these trees eliminates potential dangers and gives you peace of mind. After all, nobody wants to worry about a tree falling on their house during the next big storm.

Storm-Damaged Tree

Mother Nature can be unpredictable. Storms, high winds, or hidden weaknesses can cause tree damage unexpectedly. When this happens, quick action is key. Removing the tree safely and promptly prevents further property damage and helps you get your yard back to normal as soon as possible. We've helped many homeowners recover from storm damage, and we know how important it is to act quickly in these situations.

Noticeable Lean

Trees with noticeable leans have an increased risk of toppling over and potentially harming people, property, and nearby power lines. If you spot a tree leaning in your yard, our experts will help assess the situation.

A certified arborist from Heartwood Tree will determine whether tree cutting or complete removal is necessary to protect your property. The lean could be caused by root damage or soil erosion, which professional tree services like ours can diagnose and address. We use state-of-the-art tree removal tools and methods to prevent any unexpected accidents and keep your property safe.

Landscaping and Property Development

While we always advocate for preserving trees when we can – we are tree lovers, after all – we understand that sometimes removal is necessary for property development. We'll work with you to find the best solution that balances your development needs with environmental considerations.

Wrong Tree for Local Climate Conditions

When trees aren't well-suited to our local conditions, they often need more TLC and are more likely to have problems with diseases and pests. In some cases, the kindest thing we can do is remove these struggling trees and replace them with native species or ones that are better adapted to our climate.

Take palm trees, for example. They're beautiful, but most species can't handle our occasional cold snaps. Leyland cypress is another one – folks often plant them for quick privacy screens, but they tend to struggle with canker diseases in our humid climate.
