Dead, diseased, or structurally compromised trees pose serious risks to your Tacoma property, especially in neighborhoods with mature canopies and overhead utility lines. When root rot, storm damage, or age-related decline renders a tree unsafe, waiting only increases the danger to your family, vehicles, and structures.
Two Brothers Tree Services and Landscaping specializes in complete tree removal for residential and commercial sites across Pierce County. Data from the Tree Care Industry Association indicates that 40% of homeowner insurance claims involving trees stem from delayed removal decisions. We arrive with rigging systems, cranes when necessary, and liability coverage that protects your investment.
Our team assesses lean angles, root stability, and proximity to power lines before developing a removal strategy. Whether you're dealing with a 90-foot Douglas fir threatening your roofline or multiple cottonwoods weakened by successive windstorms, you'll receive transparent pricing and a timeline that minimizes disruption to your Tacoma routine.
Storm Damage and Dead Tree Hazards in Tacoma
Tacoma's location between Commencement Bay and the Cascade foothills funnels wind through urban corridors, placing extra stress on trees already compromised by root disease or construction damage. The infamous "Pineapple Express" atmospheric rivers dump torrential rain that saturates soil, reducing anchorage just as winds intensify. These conditions make proactive removal of at-risk trees essential.
You can't ignore visible warning signs—large dead branches, fungal conks on the trunk, leaning beyond 15 degrees, or root heaving after wet weather. According to Washington State University Extension, trees with advanced root rot lose 70% of their structural strength within two years of symptom onset. We use sonic tomography and resistograph testing to evaluate internal decay when visual clues aren't definitive.
Our crews section down trees in confined spaces, lowering limbs and trunk segments with precision to avoid collateral damage to fences, gardens, and neighboring properties. Contact us today for tree removal in Tacoma and secure your property before the next storm cycle arrives.
