Sometimes, the need for tree removal service is obvious—such as a fallen tree on your property or large branches hanging on by a thread. Other times, the signs are less evident. Nonetheless, knowing what to look for will help keep your vehicles, home, and loved ones safe from harm.

Now and then, take a few minutes to inspect your yard for the following warning signs that call for tree removal service:

• A Leaning Tree: When a tree’s root system starts to fail, the tree will begin to lean. While it may take a while before the plant completely topples over, it will happen eventually. Therefore, it’s best to be proactive and have it removed before damage can occur.
• Cluttered Roofs or Driveways: If your roof or driveway is constantly littered with leaves, branches, acorns, and other debris, you might consider having the problem tree removed. Tree cutting services provide a temporary fix by trimming branches, but sooner or later, you’ll find yourself in the same position again.
• Compromised Power Lines: Trees hanging over or intertwined in power lines often need to be removed, as the hazards of high voltage and damaged power lines are too significant.
• A Diseased or Decaying Tree: If a tree is no longer sprouting leaves in the spring and its bark is peeling, it’s likely diseased or dead. When a tree is no longer alive, it’s much more likely to lose heavy branches or suddenly fall over.
• Unruly Root Systems: Are sprawling roots taking over your yard? If so, the problem will only intensify as the tree grows larger. Enlist the help of a professional to keep your foundation and sewage or water lines safe from root intrusion.
