Though trees last for many years, they’re susceptible to diseases and other issues that homeowners should watch out for. Problems like disease and decay pose a significant risk to your property and family. It’s helpful to know the telltale signs that it’s time to call a tree removal service. Below are a few ways to recognize an issue before it worsens.

3 Signs You Need Tree Removal Services

1. Lower Trunk Damage

Vertical cracks, poor-to-no bark growth, deadwood, and fungus are all signal of serious issues. Without trunk support, the tree won’t maintain its integrity. An arborist will assess the situation via a comprehensive inspection and determine the next best steps.

2. Root Damage

Without a healthy root system, your tree isn’t getting the nutrients it needs or the proper anchoring. They can become diseased or damaged during nearby excavation projects, and, as they die, the ground will bulge, and the tree will start to lean. Small branch growth near the bottom is a sign of serious stress as well, so call a tree removal company immediately before it falls.

3. Bare Branches

It’s natural for the leaves to drop as the seasons change. But, when they don’t grow back, it means the branches are dying. Further, the affected limbs won’t shed throughout the winter. For some trees, only one side may have dead branches. If you act fast, arborists can sometimes save parts of the tree through early treatment.
