Are there any trees on your property that appear worrisome?
To prevent potential hazards, we have listed some signs to help you determine if your tree needs to be removed.
The tree has been uprooted- This may seem obvious, however, even slightly uprooted trees from strong winds may need to be cut down to prevent it from falling in the future and causing potential damage.
The tree has been damaged by wind, lightning, or a storm - When a thunder storm or hurricane comes through, trees take a lot of force. Some trees can snap, lean, or have broken limbs with heavy winds and tornados. Lightning strikes may be rare, but when they do happen they can burn and destroy a large tree.
The tree is leaning - Whether a tree is leaning due to weight distribution, wind damage, or it just grew that way, it may be best to go ahead and remove it. Trees can be leaning for months or years without budging, however, this places strain on the supporting parts of the tree making it weak and susceptible to breaking or falling. This is especially bad news if it is close to your home, your neighbor, a business, or road.
The tree is crowded - You may have too many trees right next to each other making it hard for them to grow, or may be taking up too much room on your property.
The tree is too close to your house, your neighbor, or other building structures - Going back to storm/hurricane prep - it is wise to think about the potential hazards of the tree falling on your house, another structure, or on your neighbors property.
The tree is dead or rotten - How can you tell if a tree is dead or rotten? Every tree is going to be different. Some of the main signs of a dead tree are: no leaves or growth in season, holes or craters from bugs and/or pests, rot, the tree is dry and crumbly & falls apart, etc.
The tree has bark falling off - If a tree has bark falling off, there is a good chance it is starting to decompose.
