As the largest plant, trees are vital to the environment, serving several purposes. According to scientists, there are roughly 73,300 tree species on Earth. Trees play a fundamental role in protecting our ecosystem by eating greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. Trees store carbon dioxide helping to slow the buildup of it in our environment and ultimately slowing climate change. Trees also give us oxygen, stabilize the soil, provide a habitat for wildlife, and aid in water filtration.

If you have trees with large limbs growing over homes, driveways, decks, playground areas, trees that have grown too close to power lines, or structures can also pose safety hazards. Removing these trees is a proactive way to eliminate the risk of damage to property or injury to people.
