What is a high-risk tree?

A hazard or high-risk tree is one that poses a potential danger to people, property, or nearby structures due to its health, location, or structural integrity. Factors such as disease, decay, pest infestation, storm damage, or poor root structure can weaken the tree, increasing the likelihood of branch failure, splitting, or even full collapse. Trees in high-traffic areas, close to buildings, or near utility lines are especially concerning when compromised. Regular assessments by our certified arborists can identify high-risk trees and provide necessary steps, like pruning, cabling, or removal, to mitigate potential hazards and ensure safety in the landscape.

It’s a game-changer for tree care, allowing complex removals to be completed safely, quickly, and with remarkable accuracy.


I have used Van Till tree care many times over the last few years and have always been impressed. Recently I had them remove several trees, deadfall, and tidy up my lot. The crew was on time, VERY professional, courteous, well equiped, and tidy. I was delighted with the job they did, and the price. I can highly recomend them to you.

Unlike so many companies these days Van Till respond by actually answering their phones and email right away without the usual annoying voice prompt menus. Everything was cleaned up with no trace of them even being there. They do a first rate job and are very professional. So refreshing these days. I’m actually in the process of setting up a time to have them come again and remove 3 or 4 more trees.
