What are some signs that a tree might need to be removed?

Structural Instability

A tree that is leaning on or towards structures, power lines, or high-traffic areas poses a high risk of property damage, injury, or power outages. Tree removal is recommended to eliminate the potential danger.

Damaged by Nature

When trees are damaged by environmental factors, such as storms, heavy snow or ice, high winds, disease, or insect infestation, they can cause irreversible harm.

Damage to the Trunk

A tree with a damaged or weak trunk is susceptible to falling unexpectedly. Deep cracks, large cavities, or splits in the trunk are signs that the structural integrity of the tree is no longer stable.

Not all damage is easily visible. If you have a tree that you know was struck by lightning, have it inspected by a professional. Your tree could be rotting on the inside. You might not find out until it falls.

Rot and Decay

Rot and decay are leading causes of weak trees, which are more likely to collapse. Fungal growth and lots of deadwood can be a sign of decay. Dead trees may look solid, but remember, even the tree’s roots have died. Your dead tree could fall at any time, seemingly without reason, because what you see above the surface of the ground and on the outside of the tree is not the whole picture.

Infestation or Disease

Pest infestations and diseases can cause irreversible damage to trees. Oftentimes, pests are carriers of disease that can damage the roots, leaves, or trunk. To prevent the spread of infection or pests to other trees, removal might be necessary.

Risk to Nearby Structures

Large trees with heavy branches that hang over structures such as houses, garages, or sheds can be risky, especially with high winds or heavy snow.

Damage to Property

Occasionally, a tree needs to be removed to prevent it from causing further property damage.

Above ground, tree trunks & limbs can damage gutters, siding, roofing, power lines, and other objects.

Below ground, the tree’s roots can cause damage to underground items such as sewer drain pipes, water lines, electric lines, and basement walls. Roots can also crack or raise concrete and asphalt driveways, patios, & walkways, making them hazardous to people and vehicles.

Your Property’s Appeal

Sometimes a tree is in the way of installing a pool, building a garage, or is just blocking the sun from your garden.
