Signs You Need Tree Removal Service

Trees make wonderful additions to any property by livening up your landscape. However, in some cases over time trees can become dangerous and need to be removed. In these cases, it is important you hire an arborist to remove the tree from your property. Below are 5 telltale signs from Arbor Day Tree Care that your tree should be removed. 

1. Fungi 

While it is normal for fungi and mold to grow on trees, fungi growing around the base of a tree trunk is a bad sign. This can indicate diseases or decaying of the tree. Fungi can even produce more decay as they grow, causing your tree to decay faster. You must remove your tree before the problem escalates. 

2. Falling Branches

While it is normal for some branches to fall off a tree in bad weather or high winds, constant falling branches are dangerous and can indicate your tree is decaying. It is in your best interest to remove the tree before it damages your home, car, or injures someone. 

3. Hollow Trunk 

Trees with cavities can indicate decay and rotting. If you notice your tree is hollow, this can be extremely hazardous. You should contact an arborist to remove the tree as soon as possible, so it does not fall.

4. Leaning 

If you notice your tree is starting to lean and never has before, your tree may have structural issues. You may want to get a professional opinion about removing the tree. This is especially important if your tree is leaning over your home, sidewalk, or driveway to avoid injury or property damage. 

5. Entangled in Power Lines 

If your tree grows up towards power lines this can be extremely hazardous. You will either have to remove or trim the tree depending on how serious the case is. It is important you hire a professional to do this since it is a dangerous job.
