A beautiful tree can be the centerpiece of your property; however, if it begins to die or is heavily damaged, it can suddenly become a danger. Dead trees are a safety risk to your home and family, which is why it’s important to recognize when you need land clearing services. You’ll remove a significant hazard and be confident the job is done efficiently and correctly.

Reasons to Call Tree Removal Services

1. Dead Branches

A dead branch doesn't always warrant tree removal, but when you notice several of them, especially in a group, it usually indicates the tree is diseased and dying. The tree can’t sustain these branches and will begin sprouting new ones around the trunk, which is another sign that you should call land clearing professionals. If you’re uncertain about removal or trimming, consult with an arborist for a proper assessment of the tree.

2. Leaning

A tree that suddenly leans in a new direction isn’t able to keep its hold in the soil. Trees can die from the ground up, and a lean indicates that something is wrong with the root system. Generally, a lean greater than 15 degrees warrants removal. A sudden lean can pose a serious safety risk if the tree is near your home or car, so don’t delay reaching out to emergency removal services.

3. Cracking

 After severe blunt trauma, trees can develop significant cracking throughout the trunk and primary branches. In many cases, these parts aren’t structurally sound, and the issue will worsen to larger cracks and cavities. Even if cracks create an attractive aesthetic, you need to remember that the tree isn’t able to support itself and land clearing services are necessary.
