Tree Removal
Safe removal of sick, hazardous, or dead trees
The first question we always ask. “Do you actually need to remove the tree?”
There are many scenarios where a tree can be preserved and treated with specific tree care techniques like pruning, end weight reduction, or crowing. In some cases we will also use cabling and bracing to secure weaker trees that’s leaning over and are obstructing a part of the property.
Of course, when the situations involve dangerous and hazardous trees, or when a tree is dead, these are the scenarios when tree removal is necessary. We are well equipped to manage tree removals. Our services include emergency tree removal for hazardous situations, selective removal for landscape management, and stump grinding to ensure a clean and safe outdoor space.
Our preference is always to find a solution to keep and preserve. Trees are vital to our communities, our eco-system, and they actually add value to your home too!
Let’s talk about it
When we come onsite for the initial consultation prior to any work being carried out, we will take time to discuss these options with you in detail. We want you to be better educated about your trees so that you can make an informed decision as to what’s the best course of action for you and your property

Understanding when a tree needs to be removed
At Siskiyou Tree Experts, we understand that tree removal may seem like the easiest solution for issues such as debris on the patio, leaf raking, or concerns about tree structure and potential failure. However, we believe in educating our clients about the benefits of trees and how we can mitigate risks through alternative methods like pruning or proper tree management.
Our team is experienced in dealing with a variety of tree species, including the native Douglas firs, and can provide expert advice on the best course of action. We carefully evaluate each tree’s condition, considering factors such as root collars and surrounding growing conditions, to determine the most appropriate solution.
In some cases, we may recommend retaining a tree due to the numerous benefits it offers, such as wildlife habitat, carbon sequestration, shading, and increased property value. A well-maintained landscape with mature trees can increase property value by up to 15%. In other situations, we might suggest small investments in tree care, which can be more cost-effective than complete removal.
At Siskiyou Tree Experts, our goal is to provide peace of mind by offering expert guidance and prioritizing the well-being of your trees. Although some clients may still choose tree removal, we’re here to offer our knowledge and help you make informed decisions about your landscape.
