Hazard Limb Removal on a Leaning Oak Tree in Eugene, OR

Project Type: Tree Trimming

Location: Eugene, Oregon

Project Description:

This large oak tree leans hard toward the house, and several of its limbs were positioned directly over the roofline. The homeowner didn’t want the tree removed. It provides shade and privacy that would be missed. But leaving it as-is wasn’t an option either, since a storm or heavy limb failure could have caused real damage to the home.

Our licensed, bonded, and insured crew took a middle-ground approach: instead of a full removal, we trimmed the tree back and removed the large branches that posed the greatest risk to the structure. The tree keeps its shape and its purpose in the landscape, and the homeowner no longer has to worry about what happens the next time the wind picks up.

This kind of selective trim work is often the right call when a tree still has value to the property but has grown into a position that puts a home at risk.

Project Highlights:

• Large leaning tree trimmed instead of removed, at the homeowner’s request
• Hazard limbs positioned over the roofline removed
• Shade and privacy preserved
• Reduced risk of storm or limb-failure damage to the home
