Hazard Tree Removal

A tree deemed a ‘hazard,’ is defined by the likelihood of property damage or personal injury from either limbs or the entire tree falling or if the tree is diseased. Hazard Trees can also be a stand of overcrowded trees that could greatly increase the chance of a crown fire.

“Hazard Tree” incorporates not just the condition of the tree, but also the potential target. So, a hazard is:

• Potential for tree failure.
• Potential for serious loss should the tree fail.
• Potential for hitting and damaging structures thus causing financial loss.

Hazard tree management is reduction of hazard through inspection and mitigation, balancing level of hazard against the desire to maintain large, beautiful trees on the site.
