Top Warning Signs a Tree Needs Removing
- Leaning dangerously: If your tree is tilting more than usual, it may be at risk of falling.
- Dead branches: Large dead limbs can fall without warning, especially in storms.
- Cracks in the trunk: Deep splits or cracks often mean structural weakness.
- Fungal growth: Mushrooms or fungal decay at the base usually indicate rot inside the tree.
- Storm damage: Trees damaged by high winds can quickly become unsafe.
- Root problems: Uplifted soil or exposed roots can signal instability.
- Tree too close to buildings: Roots may cause structural issues or branches may pose a threat.
Why Prompt Removal is Essential
Leaving a dangerous tree standing puts your home, family, and neighbours at risk. Storms, high winds, and even the tree’s own weight can cause sudden failure. Removing unsafe trees promptly avoids costly damage and ensures your property remains safe.
