Sometimes trees cause trouble above and below ground, as one homeowner knew when they sought tree service in Memphis, TN, from Spruce Up Tree Care.
Appearances can deceive, and some trees demonstrate this notion. An old, laurel oak specimen grew too close for one property owner’s comfort in Shelby County. They needed an emergency tree removal to return their home and yard to safety.
Project Overview
- Client Profile: Residential service
- Location: Memphis, TN, Shelby County
- Type of Service: Tree Removal
- Duration: 6 hours
- Service Frequency: One-Time Project
- Season: Winter
- Tree Type: Laurel Oak
- Client Preferences: The clients requested that we remove the laurel oak tree behind their house for several important reasons. The tree’s extensive root system caused significant upheaval to, and created a safety hazard for walking on, the surrounding pavement. Additionally, the tree’s proximity to the wooden fence and nearby structures raised concerns about continued root growth or falling limbs potentially damaging these features. The clients also worried about the tree’s overall stability, given its mature size and the visible lichen on the trunk which could indicate health issues. By having the tree removed, the clients eliminated these risks and protected the integrity of their property while making the space usable.
