Hazardous & Large Tree Removal

When Trees Become Dangerous

Some trees are too large, too unstable, or too close to structures to remove safely using standard methods. These hazardous trees require special equipment, advanced techniques, and experienced professionals who know how to handle high-risk situations. If you have a large or dangerous tree on your property, you need a team that can remove it without putting your home or family at risk.

In Roswell, NM, mature trees can grow quite large over the decades. When these trees become damaged, diseased, or unstable, they turn into serious hazards. A tree that leans toward your house, has split trunks, or hangs over power lines needs immediate attention. Trying to remove it without the right equipment and training can lead to property damage, injury, or worse.

At Root & Crown Roswell Tree Services, we specialize in removing hazardous and large trees safely. We have crane-assisted removal equipment, certified arborists, and years of experience handling the toughest tree removal jobs. When other companies say a tree is too difficult, we are the ones who get the call.

Signs Your Tree Is Hazardous

How do you know if a tree on your property is dangerous? Here are the warning signs to watch for:

• The tree leans heavily to one side, especially toward structures
• Large cracks or splits run through the trunk
• Dead branches make up more than 50 percent of the canopy
• Root damage or decay is visible at the base of the tree
• The tree has hollow sections or cavities in the trunk
• Branches hang directly over your roof, driveway, or power lines
• The tree suffered major storm damage and is structurally unsound
• Mushrooms or fungi are growing on the trunk or roots

If you notice any of these signs, do not wait. Call us for a free inspection and assessment. We can determine if the tree needs to be removed and create a safe removal plan. In some cases, tree trimming and pruning may be enough, but hazardous trees usually require complete removal to eliminate the risk.

How We Remove Hazardous and Large Trees

Removing a hazardous tree is a complex operation that requires careful planning and specialized equipment. Here is how we approach these challenging jobs:

First, we conduct a thorough inspection of the tree and the surrounding area. We look at the tree's condition, size, lean, and proximity to structures. We also check for power lines, underground utilities, and any obstacles that could complicate the removal. This inspection helps us create a detailed removal plan that prioritizes safety.

Next, we bring in the right equipment for the job. For large or dangerous trees, we often use a crane to lift sections of the tree away from buildings and power lines. This crane-assisted removal gives us complete control over every piece of the tree as it comes down. We also use ropes, rigging, and other specialized gear to ensure nothing falls where it should not.

Our certified arborists work methodically, cutting and removing the tree in sections. We start at the top and work our way down, removing branches and pieces of the trunk one at a time. Each piece is carefully lowered to the ground using the crane or rigging system. This method is slower than simply cutting and dropping a tree, but it is the only safe way to handle hazardous removals.

After the tree is removed, we clean up all debris and haul it away. We also offer stump grinding and removal to complete the job and restore your property. Our goal is to leave your yard safe, clean, and ready for whatever comes next.
