Hazardous Tree Removal
Hazardous Trees, Removed With Precision
Fortis handles the trees others avoid, with planning, rigging, and crane support. When a tree sits close to your house, fence, or power lines, the margin for error is small, so we treat every cut as a responsibility.
We work in tight backyards and hard-access lots across Fort Worth and the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, and we assess every tree on site before any cut is made.

When a Tree Becomes a Hazard
Most hazardous trees give warning before they fail. Learn the signs to watch for, and call Fortis Tree Services for a free on-site assessment before a limb or trunk comes down on your home, fence, or vehicle.
- Large cracks, splits, or cavities in the trunk or main limbs, which weaken the tree from the inside out.
- A leaning tree that is changing angle or lifting soil at the base, a sign the root system is failing.
- Dead, dying, or heavily decayed limbs hanging over a roof, driveway, or play area.
- Fungus or mushrooms growing at the base of the trunk, often a sign of internal rot.
- Trees damaged in a recent storm, even if they look upright. Stress from wind can hide serious structural damage.
Spotted one of these signs? Don't wait for the next storm. Call 817-460-9364 for a free estimate, and read more about emergency and storm damage tree service in Fort Worth if a tree has already come down.
Sectional and Crane Removal for Large and Hard-Access Trees
A large tree rarely comes down in one piece. On a job like this, the crew usually works from the top down, cutting the tree into controlled sections and lowering each one to the ground instead of letting it fall. When the tree is too big to section by hand or sits too close to a house, fence, or driveway, Fortis brings in rigging and crane support so each piece is lifted out and set down where we decide, not where gravity sends it.
Every one of these removals starts with a plan. Before a saw comes out, we map the drop zones, the structures we need to protect, the lawn and landscaping we need to keep clear, and the route the equipment will take into the yard. We talk through that plan with you so you know what to expect and where the crew will be working. Fortis does not work within reach of energized power lines. If a tree or any part of the job sits near a line, the utility company de-energizes it first, and we only begin once that is confirmed.
Planned cuts, protected structures, and controlled lowering on every job.
If your tree is large, leaning over a home, or sitting in a tight backyard, call Fortis Tree Services at 817-460-9364 for a free on-site assessment. Or browse our services and typical pricing to see what drives the cost before you call.
Your Questions Answered
Hiring for a hazardous tree removal is a big decision, and it should come with straight answers. Here are the questions Fort Worth homeowners ask us most, answered plainly before you pick up the phone.
Is an insured tree company worth it for hazardous tree removal?
Yes. A hazardous removal can damage a roof, fence, or utility line in seconds, and insurance protects you if something goes wrong. Ask any company for proof of coverage before work begins, and we are glad to provide it on request.
How much does hazardous tree removal cost in Fort Worth?
Costs depend on tree size, access, and how close it sits to your home or lines. Professional removals in the Fort Worth area commonly range from about $300 to $2,000, while difficult or crane-assisted jobs are quoted on site. Every job starts with a free estimate, so you know the number before any cut is made. See the full breakdown on our Services & Pricing page.
Can a tree service remove a tree near power lines in Fort Worth?
Not while the lines are energized. We never work within reach of live power lines. Your utility company must de-energize them first, and we plan the rest of the removal around that. Call us if a tree is touching or leaning toward a line.
Who can safely remove a large tree close to my house in Fort Worth?
A crew that plans every cut. For trees near homes, garages, and fences, we take large sections down in controlled pieces, using rigging and cranes where access is tight. Call 817-460-9364 for a free on-site assessment and we will walk the job with you before anything starts.
