In this example, there is no way to mitigate the risk of failure. These trees are now, and will likely always be, a high risk of failure and well within reaching the home when they do fail. To locate an ISA Certified Arborist near you you can use the ISA lookup tool at treesaregood.org

Another happy customer.

"Josh Wagner/Legacy Ecological did an outstanding job. We highly recommend him for all your tree care needs. Josh took down and removed four 30 ft trees in a tight space, close to our home, fence and a neighbor’s house. From estimate through clean-up it was an excellent experience.

Josh was wonderful to work with. We would work with him again in a heartbeat. His contact info:
