Tree Removal & Hazardous Trees
Safe, Skilled Tree Removal When It Matters Most
Some trees are too damaged, diseased, or dangerously positioned to keep — and when safety’s on the line, you need professionals who know exactly what they’re doing. At Fitzgerald Tree Service, we’ve been handling hazardous tree removals for over 30 years across Fairhaven and Southeastern Massachusetts.
Our team is licensed, insured, and fully equipped to remove trees in high-risk environments — whether they’re leaning over homes, tangled in power lines, or rooted in tight, hard-to-access spaces.
Why Hazardous Tree Removal Requires a Pro
Taking down a dangerous tree is never a DIY job. One wrong cut can cause thousands of dollars in property damage — or worse, serious injury. Our crew uses advanced techniques and professional-grade equipment, including:
- Bucket trucks for elevated access
- Rigging systems for precise lowering of limbs
- Cranes and bobcats for large tree removals
- Climbers for areas with limited equipment access
- Ground protection systems to preserve your lawn and structures
Every job starts with a careful assessment and ends with a clean, safe result.
Common Tree Hazards We Handle
- Trees damaged by wind, lightning, or snow
- Dead or dying trees threatening structures
- Leaning trees near driveways or power lines
- Cracked trunks or split limbs
- Trees growing too close to foundations or septic systems
- Trees impacted by root rot or pest infestations
If you’re unsure whether a tree on your property is a risk, our team will inspect it and provide honest guidance — sometimes a removal isn’t necessary, and we’ll let you know when trimming or cabling is a better solution.
