Are you concerned about the safety or health of some of the trees in your yard? While it can be unsettling to think of removing a major part of the backdrop to your home and landscape, oftentimes dead or sick trees create danger hazards for you and your family. Carlos Tree Service has been providing the Anchorage, Alaska, community with professional stump removal and tree removal services since 1993. Below, they outline how you can determine whether or not you need a tree removal service. 

How to Decide It’s Time for a Professional Tree Removal Service

What the State of the Tree Will Tell You

Check the branches, leaves, and state of the tree trunk itself. Are they dry, cracking, or discolored? If the tree itself appears to be dead, you could have a fire risk on your hands. During summer, brush fires break out when trees and brush are too dry. Cut down any dead trees that might pose a fire risk to your home. Additionally, if the leaves or branches are discolored in any way, you might have a diseased tree on your hands. Trees often pass disease throughout your entire landscape, making it difficult for a garden to thrive. 

Why Location of the Tree Matters

If the tree has fallen or hanging branches and it’s close to your home, it can be a warning sign that it’s time to call in a professional tree removal service. Situations like these pose a risk to you and your family. The integrity of your roof will also be compromised should a branch fall on it.

How Defects Are a Warning Sign

Do you notice any fungi or mushrooms growing at the base of the tree? If so, this can signal that the health of the tree has been compromised. It’s best to consult a professional tree removal service to assess whether or not your tree is diseased or the integrity is lost.
