If we agree that urban spaces are engineered around concrete, steel, wood, asphalt and trees it becomes obvious that trees are the one outstanding feature of any city that is living. While the other ‘building blocks' are likely in need of maintenance and replacement from time to time, we know that a tree will eventually die. Professionals in the field of urban forestry can predict the life length of trees pretty accurately, notwithstanding unforeseen pest and disease problems.
Removing a diseased or dying tree, especially in an urban setting, is best left to the professionals. It's a good idea to get 2-3 quotes. Make sure to check that the person has insurance, is certified, has the right equipment and is licensed to work around hydro wires. Mistakes can be dangerous and costly.
Be careful!
