These projects involved the removal of over 16,000 trees, many of which towered over 125 feet in height and 40 inches in diameter, posing a direct threat to the bustling traffic below. The complexity and danger of these tasks were immense, yet Staghead Timber Services approached the work with unmatched professionalism, skill, and safety awareness. It’s important to highlight that both projects were completed without closing a single inch of the turnpike to traffic, and, most impressively, without any safety incidents or injuries—a testament to their meticulous planning and execution.

When to remove a tree
Visible Signs of Decay: Look for mushrooms or fungi growing at the base of the tree, cavities in the trunk, or dead branches, indicating internal decay.
Damaged Roots: Noticeable signs of root damage or decay, such as lifted soil around the tree's base, can indicate instability.
Cracks or Splits in the Trunk: Large cracks or splits in the trunk suggest structural weakness, making the tree a potential hazard.
Leaning Tree: While some trees naturally lean, a sudden or pronounced lean indicates stress and potential failure.
Dead or Hanging Branches: Dead branches in the upper canopy, especially if they are large and hanging, pose a significant risk.
Trunk Cavity: A hollow trunk can compromise the tree's structural integrity, although some trees can live for years with a cavity.
Poor Architecture: A tree with an unusual growth pattern, such as branches growing out at odd angles, may be more prone to breaking.
Proximity to Structures: Trees that are too close to homes or other buildings may need to be removed to prevent damage.
History of Falling Branches: A history of the tree dropping branches without apparent cause is a sign of structural issues.
Change in Surrounding Environment: Trees affected by recent construction, soil compaction, or significant changes in their environment may be stressed and at risk.
Disease Symptoms: Signs of disease, such as unusual leaf discoloration, early leaf drop, or bark peeling, can indicate a tree's health is compromised.
If your tree exhibits any of these signs, it's advisable to consult with a certified arborist to assess its condition and determine the best course of action.
