Tree Health and Condition

The overall health and condition of the tree can impact costs. Diseased, decaying, or high-risk trees may necessitate extra precautions during removal, affecting the overall expense. The Tree Surgeons may need to set out aftercare plans for the tree’s to either stop spreading of the disease or remedy the tree’s health.
