Hazardous & Large Tree Removal
Specialized equipment and expertise for the most challenging tree removal projects.
When Trees Become Dangerous
Not all tree removals are created equal. Some trees are so large, unstable, or dangerously positioned that they require specialized skills and equipment. These hazardous tree situations demand more than standard removal techniques. One wrong move could result in serious property damage or injury.
A tree becomes hazardous when it threatens people or property. Maybe the trunk is cracked and could split at any time. Perhaps the tree is leaning heavily toward your house after years of uneven growth. The root system might be compromised by construction or soil erosion. Disease could be hollowing out the trunk from the inside. Whatever the cause, hazardous trees require immediate professional attention.
Large trees present challenges even when healthy. Trees over 60 feet tall or with trunks exceeding 3 feet in diameter cannot be safely removed with basic equipment. You need cranes, specialized rigging, and experienced crews who understand complex tree dynamics. This is our specialty.

How do you know if your tree needs hazardous removal? Watch for these warning signs:
- •Severe lean: The tree tilts significantly, especially if the lean developed suddenly
- •Visible cracks: Large cracks in the trunk or where major branches connect
- •Root problems: Exposed, damaged, or decaying roots near the base
- •Hollow trunk: The tree sounds hollow when tapped or has visible cavities
- •Dead branches: Large sections of the canopy have no leaves or show dieback
- •Fungal growth: Mushrooms or shelf fungi growing on the trunk indicate internal decay
- •Location hazards: Healthy but positioned where failure would cause major damage to homes, power lines, or high-traffic areas
If you notice any of these signs, do not wait to take action. Hazardous trees can fail without warning, especially during storms or high winds. We can assess your tree and determine if removal is necessary.
How We Handle Hazardous and Large Tree Removal
Hazardous tree removal requires careful planning and specialized techniques. We never rush these jobs. Here is our systematic approach:
Detailed Assessment
Our certified arborists evaluate the tree's condition, lean direction, weight distribution, and surrounding obstacles. We identify the safest removal method and potential complications before starting any work.
Strategic Planning
We develop a detailed removal plan that includes rigging strategies, fall zones, equipment needs, and crew positions. For trees near structures or power lines, we coordinate with utility companies and use specialized rigging to control every piece.
Advanced Equipment
We use cranes, bucket trucks, and specialized rigging systems for hazardous removals. These tools allow us to remove trees piece by piece in controlled sections, preventing damage to your property. Our equipment can reach trees other companies cannot safely access.
Safety-First Execution
Our crew follows strict safety protocols throughout the removal. We establish clear work zones, use proper personal protective equipment, and maintain constant communication. Every team member knows their role and the emergency procedures.
After removal, we grind the stump and clean up all debris. Your property should look better after we leave than before the hazardous tree was there. For emergency situations, we also provide 24/7 emergency tree removal. If you need additional tree work, check out our professional trimming and pruning services.
Why Experience Matters for Hazardous Tree Removal
Hazardous tree removal is not something you learn from a YouTube video. It requires years of hands-on experience working with compromised trees in challenging situations. Our team has removed hundreds of hazardous trees safely. We have dealt with every complication you can imagine and many you probably cannot.
This experience shows in how we handle unexpected problems. Maybe the tree starts splitting during removal. Perhaps we discover internal decay worse than visible inspection revealed. Wind conditions might change mid-job. Experienced crews adapt quickly and safely. Inexperienced crews panic or make dangerous decisions.
We also carry comprehensive insurance specifically for hazardous tree work. This protects you from liability if something goes wrong. Many tree services carry minimal insurance that does not cover high-risk removals. Before hiring anyone for hazardous tree removal, verify their insurance coverage and experience level. Your safety and property depend on it.
When you choose SafeChoice Beaumont Tree Service, you get a team that treats every hazardous removal with the seriousness it deserves. We do not take shortcuts. We do not rush. We complete the job safely, even if it takes longer than estimated. Your peace of mind is worth the extra care.
