Why Choose T&J Tree Services for Hazardous Tree Removal?
A hazardous tree is any tree with structural defects, disease, root failure, or proximity issues that significantly increases the likelihood of failure and property damage. Identifying hazardous trees before they fail is the single most effective way to prevent costly damage to your home and potential injury to your family. T&J Tree Services provides professional hazard assessments and safe removal of high-risk trees — including those leaning over homes, showing signs of internal decay, root upheaval, major cracks, or severe pest damage — using specialized rigging and crane equipment when necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my tree is hazardous?
Warning signs include large dead branches, a significant lean that wasn't there before, cracks in the trunk, fungal conks (mushrooms) at the base, hollow sections, root damage, and bark that is peeling in large sections. When in doubt, call us for a free assessment.
Can a hazardous tree be saved instead of removed?
Sometimes. Depending on the type and severity of the defect, options like cabling, bracing, crown reduction, or targeted pruning can extend a tree's life safely. We'll always explore preservation options before recommending removal.
Am I liable if my hazardous tree falls on a neighbor's property?
In Pennsylvania, if you were aware of a hazardous tree condition and failed to address it, you may be found liable for resulting damages. A documented hazard assessment and timely removal protects you legally.
How quickly can you assess and remove a dangerous tree?
For immediate safety concerns, we prioritize same-day or next-day assessment and can often complete removal within 24–48 hours of your call.
