Removing Tall Trees

Protecting homes and maintaining the landscape sometimes means cutting down trees.

I always feel badly when trees are cut down. Trees are extremely important to our environment - they are the world’s single largest source of breathable oxygen, they absorb carbon dioxide and potentially harmful gasses, and they create an ecosystem to provide needed habitat and food for birds and other animals. However, like all living things, trees do not live forever, and occasionally they need to be removed. Trees that are dead, diseased, or growing improperly can fall and cause injury and damage. Recently, several trees were taken down from around my property because they were deemed unsafe by the town.

Here are some photos, enjoy.
