The trees in your front or backyard add an element of natural beauty. However, in some instances, they can also be a danger to your home and family. To maintain a safe property, keeping a watchful eye on your trees is crucial. If you notice any of the following warning signs, you may need tree removal as soon as possible.

Excessive Leaning

Leaning trees are hazardous because they are a greater threat of falling. During high winds and storms, the extreme weather along with gravity can pull it from its roots. If the tree is near your house, this could cause severe damage.

Dead Limbs

Take note of the limbs on your trees. Are there a few branches with dried-up leaves? If so, this is a sign those particular limbs are dead, making them unstable and encouraging fungi growth. When the problem is limited to a few branches, tree trimming is a viable solution; if it’s widespread, however, removing it entirely is the best decision.

Too Many Mushrooms

Mushrooms pop up every so often. However, if there is an excessive amount grouped around a specific trunk, this is a sign of a diseased tree. This fungus can not only kill one tree, but it can also spread to every piece of greenery in your yard. Have the plant removed to save the rest of your lawn.
