Trees have functional and aesthetic value. Their shade can keep your home cool, and when they’re lush and healthy, they provide a beautiful focal point to which the eye is drawn. But when they’re not healthy, they pose serious risks to your property. Thus, it’s critical to call for tree removal service at the first sign of a problem — before it causes injury or damage.

Here are five signs your tree needs to be removed by professionals:

  • Dead Limbs: If more than a quarter of your tree’s limbs won’t grow leaves, it may have irreversible disease or damage. A tree removal service team can assess whether it can be salvaged or if it’s too risky to keep on your property.
  • Compromised Roots: Nearby excavation, loose soil, and extreme weather patterns can damage root systems. Look for small branches popping up near the tree’s base, which typically indicate root damage.
  • tree removal serviceFungi: When trees are sprouting fungus, it typically points to internal rot. Often, you’ll find large, shelf-like fungi growing from the trunk or large branches. Mushrooms can also grow at the tree base, which may indicate rot within the roots.
  • Leaning: One of the more obvious signs of tree damage is leaning. If your tree was once perfectly vertical and it has begun tilting, it could be at a greater risk of falling during high winds and storms.
  • Significant Trunk Damage: Trees can withstand some of the most severe weather circumstances, but after significant damage to the trunk, the whole structure can be compromised. Vertical cracks in the trunk, as well as the appearance of smooth wood (where bark won’t grow), are signs the tree has severe damage.
