Preservation First
Roof clearance, deadwood removal, and careful canopy reduction can often keep a mature tree healthy and compatible with the house. Removal comes into play when a tree is dead, structurally failing, or a clear hazard.
Storm exposure on the island means checking trees before and after hurricane season.
