There has been a serious problem with a specific type of beetle recently – the emerald ash borer. It’s been attacking ash trees throughout numerous states, including Kansas City. If you property has ash trees that have been affected by the emerald ash borer, then you’ll need to have it removed.

An ash tree that is dead or dying due to an infestation of emerald ash borers needs to be removed immediately as it can negatively affect other trees surrounding it as well as the wildlife living in it. You’ll want to contact a tree removal service in order to have the tree safely removed from your property and to have other surrounding ash trees inspected to see if they have been affected.

When hiring a tree removal service, be sure to compare companies for different estimates. Ask for references to ensure you are hiring a reputable tree removal service. Ask for proof of insurance to ensure that any damages caused by the removal of the tree will be paid for. An agreement should be written up detailing the estimate and the disposal and site cleanup requirements.
