Describe the tree's condition
Explain what you have noticed, including dead branches, a damaged trunk or a change in the tree's position. Ask the provider to assess the tree and the appropriate next step rather than assuming that every declining tree needs the same treatment.
Assess access and removal scope
Tell the provider about nearby buildings, fences, lines and access routes. Confirm the proposed work, hauling, cleanup and any stump work in writing before authorizing it.
Use the City of El Monte's [tree preservation information](https://www.elmonteca.gov/281/Landscape-Standards) for an El Monte address. Public-tree questions belong with the responsible city department.
For related work, read tree removal, tree pruning and stump grinding. If there is an immediate hazard, use the relevant emergency or utility response first.
