Dead & Diseased Tree Removal for Bloomingdale Homes
White ash grows all through the Bloomingdale woods and fence rows, and emerald ash borer has hit it hard. Many ash trees here are already dead standing, and dead ash dries out and turns brittle faster than most species, so limbs drop without warning and the trunk can snap low. On properties along Bloomingdale Pike, where homes sit below steep wooded banks, a single dead ash above the driveway may be the biggest risk on the lot. Dead tree removal is about taking those trees down on your schedule, before a windstorm decides the timing.
Brittle wood rules out some of the usual methods. Dead ash is risky to climb, so we often work from a lift where the ground and access allow, or rig carefully with lighter loads and smaller pieces when a lift cannot reach the bank. Virginia pines on the ridges can die from drought stress or southern pine beetle, and oaks in the wetter clay of the bottoms may decline from root rot. We check how sound the trunk is before choosing the approach, and we point out nearby trees showing the same symptoms.
On a long, narrow Bloomingdale lot with woods or pasture behind it, dead trees often stand along the back fence rather than near the house. Those may not need to go right away, and we will tell you which ones can wait. Wood from pest-killed ash should not be carried far, so if you keep firewood, burn it on the property. During the on-site estimate, our locally owned and operated team confirms which trees are dead or declining, looks at what each could hit, and explains the order we would take them down.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the ash trees on my Bloomingdale property are dead?
Look for a thin or bare crown in summer, bark flaking off in patches where woodpeckers have worked, small D-shaped exit holes and sprouts along the lower trunk. Those are common signs of emerald ash borer, which has killed many ash trees around Bloomingdale. Once an ash dies, it gets brittle quickly. We can look at your ash trees and tell you which ones need attention first.
Do the dead trees along my Bloomingdale fence line need to come down too?
Not always. A dead tree along a back fence with only pasture around it is lower priority than one above the house or driveway, though it can still fall across the wire. We look at what each tree could hit and help you decide the order. Some landowners leave a few dead trees standing in the woods for wildlife once they are clear of anything important.
How can I tell if my tree is dead or just dormant?
In winter, look closely at the twigs. Living twigs bend and show green tissue just under the bark when lightly scratched, while dead twigs snap easily and look brown and dry inside. During the growing season, a tree with no leaves, or leaves on only a few lower branches, is in serious trouble. Bark falling off in large pieces and fungus on the trunk are other clear signs of a dead tree.
Is a dead tree more dangerous to remove than a live one?
Often, yes. Dead wood is dry and brittle, so limbs can snap under a climber's weight or break apart in a rope instead of lowering smoothly. Decay at the base can also make the trunk fall in an unexpected direction. That is why we check the wood first and may use a bucket truck or crane. It is also why we strongly advise against cutting down dead trees yourself.
