Save Your Home and Your Safety: Knowing Tree Extraction
Tree removal is a complex and possibly dangerous job. If a tree is dead or ill-healthed, or is in danger of falling, it may need to be removed to avoid damage to property and ensure safety. But how can you tell when a tree must be removed? In this article, we’ll walk you through the warning signs to watch out for and help you determine when it’s time to call in experts.
Dead or dying trees
One of the obvious signs that a tree must be taken down is if it’s dead or dying. Dead trees do not have leaves and may appear dead. If a tree doesn’t have leaves or signs of new growth, it is likely dead. In addition, the bark of a dead tree might be dry, cracked, or peeling.
Trees that are diseased
Trees with diseases could pose a danger to other trees and plants in the area. Common signs of disease on trees are the appearance of yellowing leaves, wilted branches, and mushrooms growing at the base and the top. If you suspect your tree may be diseased, it’s important to have it examined by a certified arborist.
Leaning Trees
Trees that are leaning towards one side could be an indication it is a sign that the roots are failing, and the tree could be in danger of falling. To determine if a leaning tree is at risk, look for cracks or breaks in the trunk, and then look at the soil surrounding the tree’s base. If you notice any of these indicators it is recommended to examine the tree by an arborist.
Overhanging Branches
Overhanging branches of trees located close to power lines or buildings could pose a threat to the safety of your property and personal safety. If you’re concerned about branches hanging overhanging, it’s best to be evaluated by an arborist who will determine whether removal or pruning is necessary.
