While you can look for some signs yourself, it's important to remember that definitively assessing a tree's safety is best left to a tree removal expert. Here are some warning signs to look out for that might indicate a tree is hazardous:
Broken, hanging or damaged limbs: This is a clear sign that the tree's structure is compromised.expand_more
Root damage: Signs like uneven settling around the tree, cracked pavement near the base, or visible damaged roots can all indicate instability.
Cracked or split bark: Deep cracks, especially if they run vertically, can signal decay and weakness.exclamation
Leaning trees: A significant lean, particularly if it's increasing over time, suggests the tree may be unstable.expand_more
Signs of disease or insect infestation: Stunted growth, wilting leaves, and large areas of dead branches can all be indicators of a stressed or unhealthy tree.
If you notice any of these signs, it's best to call us for a proper evaluation. At Andor Tree Removal we can assess the tree's health, stability, and recommend the best course of action, whether it's pruning, cabling and bracing, or removal.
