Trees are a beautiful and valuable part of any landscape, but there are times when they may become more of a hazard than an asset. Whether due to age, disease, or storm damage, some trees can pose risks to your property and safety. Knowing when to call a professional tree removal service is crucial for maintaining the safety and aesthetics of your home. Here are the key signs that it’s time to consider tree removal.
One of the most obvious signs that a tree needs to be removed is if it’s dead or dying. A dead tree not only detracts from the beauty of your landscape but also poses a significant safety risk. Dead trees can become brittle and unstable, making them more likely to fall during storms or high winds. If you notice that a tree on your property has lost its leaves out of season, has peeling bark, or has a lack of new growth, it’s time to call in a professional for an assessment.
Trees can suffer structural damage from various causes, such as storms, lightning strikes, or heavy winds. A tree with a damaged trunk, large cracks, or split branches is at a higher risk of collapsing. Even if the damage appears minor, it’s important to have a professional evaluate the tree’s stability. In some cases, damaged trees can be saved with proper care, but if the damage is severe, removal may be the safest option.
Diseases can weaken a tree, making it more susceptible to pests and structural failure. Common signs of a diseased tree include discolored leaves, unusual growth patterns, fungal growth on the trunk, and cankers (sunken or dead areas on the bark). If left untreated, a diseased tree can spread the infection to other trees and plants in your yard. A professional arborist can diagnose the disease and determine whether the tree can be treated or if removal is necessary to protect the rest of your landscape.
While some trees naturally grow at an angle, a sudden lean or an increase in the angle of an existing lean can be a sign of root damage or soil instability. A leaning tree is at a higher risk of falling, especially during strong winds or heavy rain. If you notice a tree starting to lean, it’s important to have it assessed by a professional as soon as possible. Depending on the cause, the tree may need to be removed to prevent it from toppling over.
Trees that are growing too close to your home, power lines, or other structures can pose a serious risk. Over time, roots can damage foundations, and branches can interfere with power lines or cause damage to roofs and walls. If a tree is too close to a structure or utility line, removing it may be the safest and most practical solution. A professional tree removal service will have the expertise to safely remove the tree without causing further damage.

The frequency of tree trimming or pruning depends on various factors such as tree species, age, and overall health. As a general guideline, it is recommended to have trees pruned every 3-5 years to maintain their shape, promote healthy growth, and remove any hazardous or dead branches.
The ideal time to plant new trees depends on the tree species and climate. In general, spring and fall are the preferred seasons for tree planting as the weather conditions are more favorable for root establishment.
