• The tree is clearly dead or close to the end of its life.
• The tree is blocking the view from a window.
• The tree has grown too big and is out of proportion with the house.
• The tree is located near your house and is a species that tends to attract ants or other insects.
• When an existing tree doesn’t blend well with remodeling or additions on your home.
