Storm-Damaged Tree: Trim or Remove?

Some storm damage can be pruned while severe trunk, root or structural failure may make removal appropriate.

When this comes up

Property owners often start with overgrowth, dead branches, a leaning trunk, storm damage or a stump, then need to decide whether trimming, pruning, removal or another service fits.

What to consider

Tree condition, access, nearby structures and utilities, cleanup needs and urgency all affect the practical next step. An on-site assessment can clarify the scope.
