How do you know a tree needs to be removed?
Consider removing a tree if you observe severe damage or decay, or if its roots or offshoots are growing too close to your house. The number of decayed trees in Hingham is relatively low compared to other parts of the country. It's wise to speak with a professional tree removal contractor if you notice any of these indicators:
The tree has mold, diseases or pests weakening its structure. The tree's branches or trunk are cracked and won't heal. The tree's roots are making your home's foundation crack or lift. The tree is dropping far more leaves, needles, branches, seeds or sap than usual. The tree or its offshoots are dangerously close to your home, garage or shed. The tree has damage from heavy rain or thunderstorms. The tree is visibly dead or severely burned.
If you observe raised dirt around the base of the trunk, or if the tree is starting to lean, it's more likely to fall. Contact a trusted tree removal provider as soon as you can if you notice either of these signs, and have the tree professionally examined.
What is a hazard tree?
When a tree has irreparable structural defects that put it at significant risk of falling, it becomes a hazard tree, sometimes called a danger tree. Falling trees can cause extensive property damage and seriously injure people and pets. Rotten wood, loose bark, large cracks, dead branches and hollow cavities near the tree base are all indicators of structural defects. If you suspect your property has a hazard tree, get it removed immediately.

What other tree services might you need?
Tree removal experts may offer a range of other services. In addition to their main focus removing trees, some companies can help with the following additional services:
- Wood chipping: Tree removal professionals can use wood chippers to shred tree trunks and branches. You can use the chips as mulch for your flower beds.
- Stump removal: After the team finishes removing your tree, only the stump will be left. You can choose to grind down the stump so what's left of the tree will decompose. A contractor can also remove the stump altogether in some cases. While this is more expensive than grinding, it guarantees the tree won't grow back.
- Debris removal: Tree removal contractors can use flatbed or dump trucks to haul leftover logs, leaves and branches away from your home.
- Landscaping services: Some tree removal providers also offer landscaping services. This could include filling the hole where the tree stump was or planting a new tree.

How to choose the best tree removal service in Hingham
Find the right tree removal company for your project based on these factors.
Ask whether the company has a licensed arborist on staff
An arborist is a scientific specialist who can study your tree's requirements and advise you on the proper care. This can include restoring its health or removing it if it's in danger of falling. Arborists also provide recommendations for pruning, transplanting and planting trees. Massachusetts does not require arborists to be licensed, so we recommend looking for an arborist certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). Arborists must have three years of field experience and pass an exam to earn certification. ISA-certified arborists have the experience, skills and knowledge to remove your tree.
Make sure the company is licensed and insured
When hiring a tree removal company, ensure it has comprehensive insurance, including business liability, general liability and workers compensation. This coverage protects you, your property and the company's employees if an accident occurs during the job. City and county governments often set their own tree removal licensing laws. A contractor in Hingham doesn't need a state license if tree removal is all they offer. We recommend checking with Hingham officials and your county to ensure a prospective contractor is properly licensed.
Request a tree risk assessment
To determine if removing a tree is the right choice, have a professional tree risk assessment (TRA). During a TRA appointment, an arborist will assess the chance the tree could fall and what damage could result. They'll begin by visually examining the tree from afar for clear damage indicators. Next, they'll circle the tree up close, inspecting its crown, roots and trunk. Some arborists use advanced equipment to analyze the tree's interior.
Get a free estimate
Many tree removal companies offer a free consultation and services estimate. Get estimates from more than one company to compare prices and recommendations.
Read reviews from homeowners
Ask friends, neighbors and family for suggestions on reputable tree removal companies in your area. It's also wise to browse online reviews on sites like BBB, Google Reviews and Yelp.
