Our Approach to Tree Removal

When it comes to the tree service industry, no job is more dangerous than tree removal. Whether you’re dealing with a towering American sycamore or a tulip poplar, you need to choose a company that has experience in bringing a tree down safely and effectively.

Expert tree removal in Terre Haute makes sure that anyone standing nearby is safe while also protecting your home, vehicles, and neighboring properties. If you have a tree around your home or business that needs to be brought down, you need the skilled team from Blue Collar Tree Care.

Signs You Need Professional Tree Removal

You may ask yourself: When is the right time to schedule tree removal services in Terre Haute? While we understand that you want to keep the beautiful trees on your property looking great for as long as possible, it’s important that you don’t wait until it’s too late to have a tree professionally removed. A tree that has already died or is dying quickly becomes a safety risk, as rotting branches and unstable tree structures can fall during the next storm.

If you notice any of these signs, call Blue Collar Tree Care for tree removal in Terre Haute:

  • Widespread Damage: If more than 50% of the tree canopy, limbs, or trunk has damage, the tree poses a safety risk for you and your property.
  • Severe Lean: A tree that's leaning more than 15 degrees from center is a fall risk.
  • Limited Space: Many homeowners call us because they need the space that's occupied by a tree. Whether you’re building a garage, expanding your home, or creating an outdoor dining area, trees can take up the space that you need.
  • Hollowing: If there are large hollow spots in the trunk, your tree is at risk for falling during high winds. If the hollowing is in the branches or limbs, heavy snowfall can cause them to fall.
  • Root Damage: Visible tree roots or roots that show signs of damage mean the tree has significant structural problems.

Common Reasons for Tree Removal

While tree diseases, lightning strikes, and wind damage are some of the most common reasons that people call us to remove their trees, there are plenty of other reasons. Some of those include:
  • Improper Care: Improper pruning can not only make your tree look bad, but it can also negatively impact its health. If you’ve tried pruning your tree yourself or you’ve left your tree care to another company who didn’t get the job done the right way, we can help make your property safe again.
  • Bad Location: Trees that are growing too close to your home or business create several potential problems. In addition to issues caused by a canopy that rubs your roof, roots growing too close to your home foundation are also problematic.
  • Tree Causing Other Problems: Your tree can become a nuisance if it becomes infested by rodents or pests or if it’s preventing you from using your property the way you want to. Depending on the type of pests that are infesting the tree, you may notice problems with other trees, flowers, and shrubs.

Tree Removal Methods

Tree removal can be successfully executed using four different common methods. These include the following, some of which are more regularly used than others.

Felling

This method is the most common, as it requires minimal additional equipment beyond a chainsaw and an axe. A tree service professional chops a tree down from the base of the trunk, planning a safe fall path.

Climbing

Sometimes a tree’s position or location means it is not safe to fell the tree from the ground. So, specific professionals are hired as climbers, people who are trained to cut down a tree in sections from the top. This reduces the danger of property damage when a tree is close to structures, wires, or other elements that could interfere with a standard removal by felling.

Bucket Truck Removal

Bucket truck removal or bucket removal is essentially the same method as climbing, but requires the presence of a bucket truck. This gives the experts cutting down the tree a stable place to stand while completing the job.

Crane Assisted Removal

If all other methods are predicted to be dangerous, it is possible that a crane assisted tree removal will be recommended. A crane can remove the tree from the ground without the direct involvement of a human, which is why this method is recommended for situations which would otherwise potentially be unsafe.
