Addressing an Urgent Tree Emergency
The first step upon arriving was hazardous tree assessment to determine the safest approach for removing the partially broken black walnut. The tree’s size and position near the owner’s house and spanning landscaping posed challenges for access and removal.
Upon determining the remainder of the tree was stable, the crew worked quickly to eliminate safety hazards while avoiding damage to the surrounding landscaping.
Discussions With the Owner Concerning the Tree’s Future
The team executed a safe dismantling of the fallen branches and foliage. Within three hours, the crew completed final tree debris removal.
New Leaf Tree Service’s arborist on site met with the homeowner after the site was secure and clean. He explained that the tree had suffered significant injury near the base of the trunk. Although the tree remained structurally sound, there were concerns about its healing process and the risk of further damage. Based on expert recommendations, the homeowner scheduled a follow-up inspection of the tree for a few weeks later.
