Clear Signs Your Tree Needs to Be Removed

Sometimes it is hard to tell if a tree is just a little sick or if it needs to be cut down completely. We always try to save trees when we can through proper pruning and care. However, there are times when tree felling is the only safe choice. Here are the top signs that it is time to say goodbye to a tree in your yard.


Major Dead or Falling Branches

If your tree is constantly dropping large, dead branches, it is a huge warning sign. A tree with a lot of dead wood on top is likely dying. Those falling branches can easily break a window, dent your car, or hurt a person walking by.


A Sudden, Dangerous Lean

Trees naturally lean a little bit toward the sun. That is completely normal. But if your tree suddenly starts leaning heavily to one side after a big windstorm, you have a problem. This means the roots are weak and breaking under the ground. Gravity never loses, and that leaning tree will eventually fall.


Deep Cracks in the Main Trunk

Take a close look at the main trunk of your tree. If you see deep cracks, splitting wood, or large holes, the tree is losing its strength. Sometimes, bugs and pests move into these cracks and eat the wood from the inside out. When the core of the tree is hollow or rotting, it becomes very weak.


Damage to Your Foundation or Pipes

Tree roots are very strong. They can grow under your house and crack your concrete foundation. They can also wrap around underground water pipes and crush them. If a tree’s roots are destroying your home or your plumbing, the tree needs to be removed before it costs you thousands of dollars in repairs.



The Dangers of Do-It-Yourself Tree Cutting

In today’s world, there is a video online for everything. You might watch a five-minute video on how to cut down a tree and think, "I can do that this weekend!" Please, do not try this. Tree removal is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.

Ladders and chainsaws are a terrible mix for beginners. When you cut a heavy branch, it never falls exactly where you think it will. It can swing back and knock off your ladder.


The tree trunk can split and kick back at you. If the tree falls the wrong way, it could crash right through your living room roof or take down your neighborhood power lines. Let our trained professionals at A1 Tree Service - Pruning Trimming Removal take the risk. We have the training, the safety gear, and the insurance to do it right.


Our Complete Tree Removal Process

We like to keep things simple for our customers. When you hire us for tree removal services, we follow a strict plan to keep everyone safe and get the job done fast.


Step One: The Safety Inspection

First, we look at the tree and the area around it. We check for power lines, fences, houses, and gardens. We figure out exactly how the tree is leaning and where the safest drop zone is.


Step Two: The Action Plan

Next, we create a plan. For smaller trees, we might cut them from the bottom so they fall over in one piece. For giant trees next to a house, our climbers will go up into the tree. They will carefully cut off one small piece at a time and lower it to the ground with strong ropes.


Step Three: The Safe Cut

Once everything is set up, our expert crew gets to work. We use top-quality chainsaws and safety harnesses. We work as a team, communicating the whole time to make sure every single piece of wood lands safely on the ground.


Step Four: The Ultimate Cleanup

We do not just leave a giant mess in your yard. We clean up all the branches, twigs, and leaves. We load the heavy logs into our trucks and haul them away. We want to leave your yard looking cleaner than we found it—and no, we will not tell your neighbors you hired help.


Emergency Tree Service When You Need It Most

Spokane gets some wild weather. Heavy winter snowstorms and strong summer windstorms can rip big trees right out of the ground. When a tree crashes onto your driveway in the middle of the night, you cannot wait weeks for help.


We offer fast emergency tree removal services. If a tree has fallen on your house, blocked your car, or created a dangerous situation, you can count on A1 Tree Service - Pruning Trimming Removal to respond quickly. We will safely lift the heavy wood off your property and secure the area.


Stump Grinding and Final Yard Cleanup

Cutting down the tree is only half the battle. Once the tree is gone, you are left with an ugly, boring stump sitting in your grass. Stumps are a tripping hazard. They also attract ants, termites, and other pests that you do not want anywhere near your home.


You do not have to live with a stump. Along with our tree removal Spokane WA services, we offer professional stump grinding. We have special machines with giant metal teeth that chew the stump down deep into the dirt. Once the stump is ground up into small wood chips, we cover the hole with dirt. You can even plant new grass right over the spot where the tree used to be.

  • How much does tree removal in Spokane WA cost?

    The price depends on a few things. The height of the tree, how wide the trunk is, and where it is located all change the price. A small tree in an open front yard is much cheaper to remove than a massive tree trapped between two houses. We offer free estimates so you will know the exact cost before we start.

  • Do I need a permit to cut down a tree on my property?

    In most cases, if the tree is on your private property, you do not need a permit in Spokane. However, if the tree is on the strip of grass between the sidewalk and the street, the city might own it. We can help you figure out if any rules apply to your specific tree.

  • Can I keep the wood for my fireplace?

    Yes, absolutely! If you have a wood-burning stove or an outdoor fire pit, just let us know. We can cut the main trunk into manageable logs and leave them neatly stacked for you to split and use later.

  • Will cutting down the tree damage my lawn?

    We try our absolute best to protect your grass. We put down special mats for our heavy equipment to drive on if the ground is soft. If we have to drop heavy logs, we do it as gently as possible. A little bit of temporary flattening of the grass can happen, but it usually bounces right back.

  • Are you fully insured for tree removal services?

    Yes. Tree work is dangerous, and being fully insured is the most important thing a tree service can offer. We have full liability insurance and worker's compensation. You are completely protected from any damage or injury claims while we are working on your property.

  • Do you remove the stump as well?

    Yes, we do! Stump grinding is a separate service, but we highly recommend it. We can grind the stump down below the dirt level so you have a smooth, flat yard again.
