Signs It’s Time to Remove a Tree
Check for signs it may be time to remove a tree before it falls on your property, threatening your safety. The most common signs you need to contact us for tree removal include:
Your tree's structural integrity may be compromised if it has vertical cracks, abnormal peeling bark, open cavities, or dead branch stubs.
Pests or diseases often cause dead branches. While one dead branch is fine, several dead branches may signal a problem.
Fungi growth can sometimes be fatal to your tree or surrounding trees.
Some trees have a natural slight lean, but a dramatic new lean may signal your tree could have decay or damage to its structure.
Not all trees with root rot need to be removed. After aggressive treatment, removing your tree with root rot is best if it has sunken wood, dead branches, fungus growth, or wilted leaves.
