Frequently Asked Questions
How does tree removal work?
Tree removal should always be a dynamic process that varies depending on the client, the tree, and the surrounding environment. In general, however, DNC Tree Removal Durham relies on a range of specialized tools and equipment designed to gradually cut the tree apart, starting at the top and progressively working out way down to the bottom. Once the tree itself has been fully cut, we then move on to grinding the stump down. Finally, after the stump has been reduced sufficiently, we excavate the roots and perform landscaping services to cover up the leftover hole and erase any signs that the tree was there.
What is a certified arborist?
We only want the best on our team at DNC Tree Removal Durham.

When does a tree need to be removed?
In general, a tree should only be removed as a last resort. Make sure that you’ve exhausted all your other support options before deciding to have a tree removed. You will typically want to remove your tree in the following situations:
- The tree is completely dead or dying
- The tree is heavily diseased beyond recovery
- You’re planning new construction in the area the tree is located
- Your property is at risk of damage due to the tree or its branches falling down
- The tree has serious root issues
You should always receive a professional opinion from an expert arborist before deciding to remove your tree. If you think that any tree on your property is presenting an active safety risk to you or your family, you should immediately call DNC Tree Removal Durham for a hazard assessment to determine whether removal would be appropriate.
