Trees are great for shade, but there are times when they get too big for their roots. This becomes a problem when they’re too near a home or other structures on the property. Without hazardous tree removal, they soon cause havoc. 

The roots can push pathways and driveways up, causing unevenness, or damage subterranean pipes. Meanwhile, the branches can fall onto roofs or smash windows. 

That’s why so many Oak Ridge residents call Summit Tree Care for tree maintenance. Getting ahead of this task early reduces the need for emergency storm damage cleanup later. 

Oak Ridge Tree Removal Project Overview

• Client Profile: Residential
• Location: Oak Ridge, NC
• Type of Service: Tree removal
• Duration: Five hours
• Service Frequency: One-time project
• Season: Spring
• Specific Challenges: Clients had a large, mature deciduous tree in their yard that required careful removal due to its proximity to the home, driveway, and surrounding landscaping. Because of the tree’s size and the tight residential space, the Summit Tree Care crew used specialized equipment and controlled cutting techniques to safely dismantle the tree while protecting nearby structures and property. The project was completed during the early spring season, with the team also handling stump grinding and debris clean-up to leave the yard clear and ready for future landscaping improvements.
• Tree Type: Maple

Addressing the Homeowner’s Wish To Protect Their Home and Landscaping

The maple was beautiful, but far too big for the small yard. The branches were starting to overhang the roof, and the roots had already started impinging on the sewer line. As a result, Summit Tree Care came in and got to work. 

The team started with the canopy, dismantling it one step at a time and using a pulley system to lower each set of branches before cutting the trunk. 

Safe and Efficient Tree Removal

In addition to taking the tree down, the team ended the job with stump grinding. This service reduces any chance of regrowth and shaves the trunk down to a few inches below the surface, leaving the yard flat and ready to plant. 

The homeowners were clever in scheduling this job in the early spring, before the storm season rolled through. Thanks to their proactive planning, they avoided having to call for emergency tree services at a later stage.
