Hazard Tree Work

Hazard Tree Removal Near Homes and Power Lines

A tree that is leaning, cracked, or dropping limbs over your roof is a safety problem, not a cosmetic one. When that tree sits close to a house or a utility line, the removal needs careful planning, the right equipment, and a crew that has done this kind of work before.

Questions About Hazard Trees

Most homeowners ask the same few things before they call about a tree that looks dangerous. Here are straight answers from Three Pines Tree Service LLC, a licensed tree service working across California.

How do I know if a tree on my property is a hazard?

Watch for large dead limbs, cracks or splits in the trunk, a heavy lean with soil lifting at the base, fungal growth near the root collar, or major decay. A licensed arborist assessment confirms the risk, and we can do that on a free estimate visit at (209) 335-6655.

Can you remove a hazard tree near my house or power lines?

Yes. Our crews have experience removing and trimming trees near structures and in tight spaces, with careful rigging and planning around the building. Trees touching energized power lines should be handled by your utility company first, and we will tell you if a job needs that step.

Is hazard tree removal covered by insurance?

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your insurer before work begins. We can provide a written estimate and scope of work you can share with them.

Do I need a permit to remove a tree in California?

Requirements vary by city and county, and some protected trees need approval before removal. Ask us during your free estimate and we will help you check the local rules for your address.

How We Remove a Hazard Tree Safely

Removing a hazard tree near a home or a power line is planning work first and cutting work second. Here is how our licensed, insured, and bonded crew moves from the first look at your tree to a finished, cleaned-up yard.

  1. 1

    On-site assessment

    We inspect the tree, the access route, and how close it sits to your house, fence, or power lines before anything else is decided.

  2. 2

    Written estimate and removal plan

    You get a clear written estimate and a plan for how the tree will come down, at no cost and with no obligation.

  3. 3

    Controlled removal with rigging

    Sections are lowered and rigged under control, following our safety protocols, so nothing drops onto your structures or lines.

  4. 4

    Stump grinding and cleanup

    We grind the stump and haul away wood and debris as needed, so the site is left clean. For stump costs, see our tree removal cost guide.
