Tips to Prevent Emergency Tree Removal in Northern VA

This may have possibly been prevented with better maintenance procedures such as not over mulching year after year. Over mulching is a common problem that causes issues such as tree pests and lack of root strength. Lack of root strength leads to mature trees easily being uprooted when a storm with high winds come through.

Another way to prevent emergency tree removal is to have your HOA tree policy up to date and to have a tree inventory complete to ensure all of your trees are healthy and being cared for properly.
