Tree removal might seem straightforward—but there’s a lot of misinformation out there. Whether you’re a homeowner worried about a leaning pine or a property manager planning a site clearout, it’s important to separate fact from fiction. At McKeys Landscape Services, we’ve heard it all—and we’re here to set the record straight. Let’s bust some of the most common myths about tree removal.
Myth #1: “If a tree looks healthy, it’s safe.”
Fact: A tree can appear perfectly fine on the outside and still be a serious hazard. Internal rot, root damage, or structural instability often go unnoticed until it’s too late. Our experts use advanced assessment tools to determine if a tree is truly sound—or if it poses a risk to your property.
Myth #2: “Tree removal is a DIY job.”
Fact: Tree cutting is one of the most dangerous property maintenance tasks you can attempt on your own. Falling branches, equipment misuse, and lack of training can lead to serious injury or property damage. Our crews are fully trained, insured, and equipped to handle even the most complex removals safely and efficiently.
Myth #3: “Any landscaping company can remove a tree.”
Fact: Tree removal requires specialized knowledge, rigging techniques, and equipment. Not all landscaping companies are qualified for this kind of work. At McKeys, we’ve built a reputation on safe, professional tree removal across residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
Myth #4: “Cleanup is included with every service.”
Fact: Unfortunately, many companies leave behind debris, sawdust, and stumps unless specifically requested. At McKeys Landscape Services, cleanup and debris removal are standard. We leave your property looking better than we found it—no surprises.
Myth #5: “Permits aren’t necessary for tree removal.”
Fact: Many municipalities require permits to remove certain trees, especially on protected or public land. Failing to comply can lead to fines or delays. We’ll guide you through any permitting process so you stay within the law and on schedule.
