A dead tree is just that. Dead. It has no life so the wood becomes brittle and starts to rot away. You never know when a branch can fall and hurt someone, so it is important to have the tree removed immediately. This customer had a large oak that was starting to rot away. The tree hovered over a sidewalk and the street, a hazard to pedestrians. We came to this Ridgewood, NJ home and safely took down the tree, grinding the stump, so that new plantings could be grown in the area.
