You can take steps to ensure that tree removal is done safely and with minimal environmental impact. First, make sure you hire a qualified and insured tree removal service. Have them assess the tree to determine whether it’s safe to remove, or if any portion of it needs to be saved for re-planting. Before removing the tree, try to save as much of the soil around the trunk as possible and provide some alternative sources of nutrients like coffee grounds or composted leaves. After the tree is removed, plant a new one in its place or consider adding shrubs or other small plants. Finally, make sure that any stumps are ground up and taken away by the arborist who performed the work.

You can have the tree professionally removed by a certified arborist or tree surgeon, who will know how to handle the job safely and in accordance with local regulations. They will assess the health of the tree, determine the best method for removal, and take precautions to minimize impact to the environment.
