There is a tree near your house that just does not look right. Maybe it leans more than it used to, has a crack in the trunk, or drops dead limbs. You lie awake during wind storms wondering if this is the night it comes down. Toms Tree Services offers hazard tree assessment in Marquette to look at the tree and help you decide what to do.
When Do You Need Hazard Tree Assessment?
Ask for a hazard tree assessment when a tree near your home, driveway, play area or power lines shows warning signs.
Signs to watch for: a new or growing lean, cracks or splits in the trunk, soil heaving at the base, mushrooms on the trunk or roots, large dead limbs, hollow spots, and bark falling off.
Do not wait for the next storm. A tree with a defect can fail with little warning, and it often fails at the worst time.
In the U.P., heavy lake-effect snow and ice put big loads on weak limbs. Lake Superior wind storms push trees that are already cracked or leaning. On dense wooded lots, trees that lost neighbors to clearing or storms are suddenly open to wind.
Wet spring ground can loosen the roots of trees that lean. That is a good time to keep an eye on them.
We look at trees for homeowners and property owners in Marquette, Negaunee, Ishpeming, Gwinn and across Marquette County.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
It starts with you. Call 906-236-9567 or send the form with your name, phone number and address, and tell us which tree worries you. Lucas will call you back to set a time.
Then we come out and look. We check the trunk, the base and roots, the crown, and what the tree could hit if it fell. We explain in plain words what we see and what it could mean.
After that, you get a free estimate for any work that makes sense, like deadwooding, trimming, reducing the crown or removal. There is no trip fee and no pressure. Sometimes the answer is to keep an eye on it.
How Much Does Hazard Tree Assessment Cost?
The look is part of the free estimate, and there is no trip fee. If you choose work, the cost depends on what is needed, tree size, how close it is to buildings or lines, and access. The gear needed, distance and cleanup also matter.
When we give you the estimate, we go over what it covers, such as cleanup, hauling, chipping, or leaving the wood for firewood. That way you can pick what fits your needs and budget.
