The U.S. has around 300 billion trees covering its lands today. Maine has the most amount of tree coverage with 89% tree cover while North Dakota has the least amount of tree coverage with just 2% tree cover.
Trees are naturally removed through wildfires and pests, but deforestation has exacerbated the effects of these natural tree removal methods. Invasive insects and plant diseases are creating billions of dollars in damages to forests each year with further damages from pests being caused by the spread of non-native pests, poor land management processes, and non-sustainable land use. Wildfires have also increased over the years, leading to increased loss of tree cover. In fact, wildfires burned more than 7 million U.S. acres in 2024 alone.
However, with professional tree removal services, trees can be removed safely, quickly, and efficiently at lower costs. Tree removal experts can share indispensable advice and assessment that can ensure the project is completed with minimum risk of future damage. Professional tree removal is the right way to protect the overall health of our lands.
