Hazardous Tree Assessment & Removal
What we mean by “Hazard Tree”
A hazard tree is any tree with an elevated risk of failure that could impact people, structures, access routes, or critical infrastructure. We assess risk, confirm scope, and remove trees using a safety-first approach—especially on steep terrain and near homes.
Common hazard tree issues:
Dead or dying trees / beetle kill
Leaning stems, cracked trunks, or failed root plates
Large dead limbs over roofs, decks, or driveways
Storm-damaged or fire-damaged trees
Trees too close to structures or access roads for safe clearance
What’s included:
Site visit and clear written scope
Hazard evaluation (what’s urgent, what can wait)
Safe removal with protection of surrounding trees and structures
Cleanup and debris handling options (haul away or chip)
Optional: follow-up recommendations for thinning and defensible space
Our process
1) Assess + scope — Identify hazards and confirm access, rigging needs, and safety plan.
2) Schedule — Coordinate timing and site logistics.
3) Remove safely — Controlled felling or sectional removal as needed.
4) Clean site — Debris handling and final walkthrough.

“An absolute pleasure having Al, Ben, and Noah in my yard to remove a 65’ dead aspen, and the cleaned up a dozen more… very pleased and will def use and recommend! In fact my neighbor used them as well, and now my view is glorious!
— Return client Joseph “Al and crew are awesome! Can’t say enough about the professionalism. Showed up and banged out the job.”
— Return client GlenAl and Noah with Circle Forestry and Tree Care took down three very large trees that were close to my house and some large branches from other trees that hung over my house. Al gave me valuable advice for fire mitigation, too. They were wonderful to work with and also to watch as they carefully and precisely climbed up trees and took them down piece by piece without disturbing my gardens or my house. I am grateful and highly recommend Circle Forestry and Tree Care.
