Dead and hazardous trees in Salt Lake City
Dead trees get more brittle every year, which makes them harder and more dangerous to remove, and more likely to come down in a storm. Leaning trees, split trunks and large dead limbs are worth having assessed.

Salt Lake winters bring snow, inversions and plenty of freeze-thaw, and driveways and walks see a lot of de-icing salt.
Trees in the park strip between the sidewalk and the street are city-owned in Salt Lake City. Pruning or removing one by a private company needs a permit from SLC Urban Forestry first, (801) 972-7818.
The city treats removal of a healthy park strip tree as a last resort, and sidewalk damage alone isn't accepted as a reason. Trees on your own property are yours to manage.
Common questions
How do I know if a tree is dead?
No leaves in season, peeling bark, fungus at the base or brittle twigs that snap. An arborist can confirm.
Is a leaning tree dangerous?
A tree that has always leaned may be stable. A new lean, cracked soil or lifted roots are warning signs.
Is stump grinding included in removal?
Not always. Ask whether the quote includes grinding and hauling away the wood.
