Tree removal on Hudson's historic properties
Hudson removals are usually overdue Bradford pears, storm-damaged specimens, or oaks where the structural assessment shows the tree is past saving. Each removal is planned around rigging that protects historic structures, mature beds, and the surrounding canopy. Cleanup is meticulous — Hudson clients notice the chips that other crews leave behind, and so do we.
“In Hudson a removal happens after preservation options have been exhausted, not before. When it is the right call, the rigging is what protects the rest of the property.”

Hudson removals: spruce screens, wooded edges and the rules around them.
Hudson removals often involve old evergreen screens, dead trees along wooded lot lines or trees in the way of a planned project. The city's rules apply to some of them.
Replacing a failing screen in stages
When a Hudson spruce screen has lost its lower branches, the instinct is to take the whole row out at once. That leaves the property wide open for years while replacements grow. Often a better approach is to remove the worst trees first, plant replacements in the gaps and take out the rest as the new screen fills in.
Spruces in a tight row are usually straightforward to remove, but their roots are intertwined and the stumps sit close together. We grind the stumps so replanting can happen in the same line, and we plan the removal so it doesn't damage the trees you're keeping or the replacements you've already planted. The Hudson planting page covers what to put back.
Dead trees in the woods, and permission
On wooded Hudson lots, dead ash and storm-damaged oaks along the edge of the yard are the most common removal calls. A dead tree that would fall into the woods can sometimes be left as wildlife habitat, while one that could reach the house, the driveway or a neighbor's yard needs to come down. We'll help you sort out which is which.
Before any removal near the road, check whether the tree is in the right-of-way. Hudson requires permission for removing or damaging trees on public property, including street trees. If you're building, trees nine inches and larger outside your approved limits of disturbance are protected under the development code. Tyler can point out these issues at the estimate.

Should I take out my whole spruce screen at once?
Often it's better to do it in stages, removing the worst trees and replanting gaps first so you keep some privacy while the new screen grows.
Do I have to remove a dead tree in the woods behind my Hudson house?
Not always. If it can only fall into the woods, it can be left for wildlife. If it could reach the house, drive or a neighbor's property, it should come down.
Can I remove trees to make room for an addition in Hudson?
On new construction, trees nine inches and larger outside the approved limits of disturbance are protected. Talk to your builder and the city first, and we can help plan around the trees you're keeping.
