No matter what kind of trees you have on your property, it’s important to be aware of their health and integrity. When trees go ignored, small problems can turn into dangerous ones. That’s why it’s important to contact the certified arborist at Westcoast Tree Care to evaluate your trees if you spot any of the following signs that may indicate a tree care removal.
Trees Located Near A Home
Typically, trees are planted so they won’t become problematic. However, as trees grow, they can become hazardous as they take up more space. If branches rise above a roof or rub against a home they can become very dangerous when left unchecked. If a tree is in close proximity to your home, it’s a definite sign you need to have it evaluated.
Trees With Ample Fungi
Another red flag that may warrant a tree care removal is fungi. Fungi often indicates a dead or rotting tree. These ailments cannot be typically cured or reversed. That’s why it’s important to catch any signs of fungi early and contact a certified arborist. Preventative tree care combined with proper watering and maintenance are easy ways to care for a tree to keep it healthy and disease free.
Hollow Trees
If a tree on your property seems hollow or decayed, it could have tree rot. Tree rot results when fungi damages a tree both internally and externally. Any tree with tree rot has a much higher risk of falling and causing damage to your property. It can also unexpected harm to you and your loved ones.
Trees Near Power Lines
Trees that grow near power lines or other electrical wiring is another sign you may need a tree care removal. Unless there is a decent distance between the two things can become very problematic. Extreme weather combined with trees and power lines can cause unwanted power outages or damage to your home. That’s why you should always contact a certified arborist if you think a tree on your property is at risk.
Fallen or Leaning Trees
If a tree has already fallen, you may think it’s ok to remove it yourself using a chainsaw. While this may be ok for small trees, large trees can be very dangerous to remove. Instead, a certified arborist should always evaluate the situation because they know the best ways to remove a fallen tree.
Leaning trees, on the other hand, are also a good indication of a tree care removal. Only a certified arborist will be able to evaluate a tree and whether or not it should be removed. Any tree with a sudden lean is also at risk of falling. A certified arborist will help you avoid any potential dangers.
