What Happens to the Tree After It’s Removed?

Tree removal doesn’t end when the trunk hits the ground. At Elite Tree Care, we go the extra mile to ensure your property is left clean and safe.

Once the tree is felled:

  • All wood is safely transported off-site for disposal or recycling
  • Branches and brush are chipped or removed
  • We sweep or rake the area to ensure it’s ready for your next landscaping step
  • Good to Know: While tree removal clears the above-ground portion, the remaining stump may pose its own challenges—tripping hazards, pest attraction, or unsightly lawn interruption.

 

Ask us about stump grinding as an optional follow-up service.

Dead or Dying Trees

Dead or dying trees can be a safety hazard, as they can fall over or lose large branches without warning. They can also attract pests and diseases that can spread to other trees on your property. The health and well-being of a tree can be determined by various signs. Some of the common indicators of a dead or dying tree include leafless branches, fungal growth such as mushrooms growing at the base or on the trunk of the tree, deep cracks or holes in the bark, a lack of growth or slow growth, decay in the trunk, and excessive leaning.

If you suspect that a tree on your property is dead or dying, it’s important to have it assessed by a professional arborist. An arborist will be able to examine the tree and determine the cause of the issue, as well as provide advice on the best course of action. This will help to ensure the safety of your property and surrounding areas, and help to preserve the beauty and health of your trees.

Crowding of Trees

Crowding is a condition where trees are growing too close together, resulting in a lack of space for each tree to grow and develop properly. This can have several negative effects on the trees and the surrounding area.

When trees are crowded, they are competing for light, water, and nutrients. This competition can result in stunted growth and decreased vigor, making the trees more susceptible to pests and diseases. Additionally, the lack of space can also cause damage to the bark and branches of the trees, as they rub against each other in the wind.

Crowding can also affect the appearance of your landscape, as it can block sunlight from reaching the area. This can result in a lack of undergrowth and a lack of vitality in the surrounding plants. In some cases, crowding can also cause damage to buildings, sidewalks, and other structures, as roots are forced to grow above ground and can cause cracking or uplifting.

If you have trees on your property that are crowding each other, it may be necessary to remove one or more of them to allow for more space and sunlight. An arborist can assess the situation and determine the best course of action to ensure the health and well-being of the trees and your property.

Damage to Trees

Trees that are causing damage to your property can pose a safety risk and can also be unsightly. Some common examples of damage caused by trees include:

  • Cracked sidewalks – The roots of a tree can grow under sidewalks and cause them to crack or lift, creating a tripping hazard.
  • Damaged foundations – Trees that are planted too close to buildings can cause damage to the foundations as their roots grow and expand. This can lead to settling and cracking of the foundation.
  • Damaged roofs – Overhanging branches from trees can cause damage to roofs, especially during heavy rain or wind. They can also block gutters, leading to water damage to the roof and walls.
  • Leaning structures – Trees that are not properly anchored can cause structures such as fences or walls to lean or collapse.

 

It’s important to address damage caused by trees promptly to prevent further harm and to maintain the safety and appearance of your property. An arborist can assess the situation and recommend the best course of action, whether it’s removing the tree or pruning it to prevent future damage

Aesthetic Tree Removal

The appearance of your landscape plays an important role in the overall aesthetic of your property. If a tree is blocking a view or simply does not fit in with the surrounding area, it can detract from the overall beauty of your landscape.

For example, a tree that has grown too large for its location may obstruct a beautiful view, or a tree with an unattractive shape or form may detract from the beauty of the surrounding area. In some cases, a tree may be located in an area where it is not appropriate, such as near utility lines or in an area where it may cause damage to buildings.

If you have a tree that is affecting the aesthetic of your property, an arborist can assess the situation and recommend the best course of action. This may involve removing the tree, pruning it, or relocating it to a more appropriate location. By making changes to your landscape, you can improve the appearance of your property and increase its overall value.

Don’t Wait for a Storm to Make the Decision

Many homeowners wait until a tree falls—or comes dangerously close—before taking action. Unfortunately, by then the damage is often done.

  • Proactive tree removal can:
  • Prevent roof, siding, or foundation damage
  • Reduce the risk of injury or liability
  • Save money by avoiding emergency service fees


Homeowner Tip: Tree removal costs are usually not covered by insurance if the tree was visibly dead or unsafe before it fell. Addressing at-risk trees early could protect your property and your wallet.

Planning for What Comes Next

Removing a tree creates new opportunities for your landscape—more sunlight, more space, and a blank canvas to reimagine your yard.

Not sure what to do with the space?

  • Plant a new tree (farther from structures)
  • Expand a patio, pool, or garden area
  • Add hardscaping or improve drainage

They receive extensive training in tree care, pruning, and removal techniques, allowing them to safely remove trees of any size or in any location. Before starting a tree removal project, they perform a thorough risk assessment to identify potential hazards and determine the safest approach to removing the tree.

This includes taking into account factors such as the size and location of the tree, nearby power lines, and surrounding structures. Professional tree removal services have access to specialized equipment designed for tree removal, such as cranes, bucket trucks, and chippers, allowing tree care contractors to safely reach high branches and dispose of wood in a controlled manner.
