Diseased Trees
Diseased trees could pose a danger to other plants and trees in the surrounding area. The most common signs of disease for trees include the appearance of yellowing leaves, wilted branches, and the growth of mushrooms at the root and the top. If you suspect your tree is suffering from disease it is important to have it examined by a certified arborist.
Leaning Trees
Trees that are leaning to one side may be a sign of a failing root structure, and the tree could be in danger of falling. To determine if a leaning tree is at risk, look for cracks or breaks in the trunk and look into the soil at the tree’s base. If you notice any of these indicators you should get the tree examined by an arborist.
Overhanging Branches
Trees with overhanging branches located close to power lines or structures can be a danger to the safety of your property and personal safety. If you have concerns about overhanging branches, it’s best to get the tree assessed by an arborist to determine whether removal or pruning is required.
