There are several signs that you may need to have a tree removed from your property. 

Here are some of the most common signs:

Dead or dying tree: A tree that is dead or dying is a safety hazard and should be removed as soon as possible. Look for signs such as brittle or falling branches, lack of leaves or greenery, and a trunk that is hollow or decaying.

Leaning tree: If a tree is leaning more than 15 degrees, it may be unstable and at risk of falling. This is especially concerning if the tree is near a structure or pedestrian area.

Cracks in the trunk or major limbs: Large, deep, or widening cracks in the trunk or major limbs can indicate structural weakness and may mean the tree is at risk of falling.

Root damage: If the roots of a tree have been damaged, the tree may become unstable and may need to be removed. Signs of root damage can include soil erosion, root rot, or damage from construction equipment.

Insect infestation or disease: An insect infestation or disease can weaken a tree and make it more susceptible to damage or falling. Look for signs such as holes in the bark, sawdust around the base of the tree, or discolored or wilted leaves.

Overcrowding: If a tree is growing too close to other trees or structures, it may need to be removed to prevent damage.

If you notice any of these signs or have concerns about the health or safety of a tree on your property contact a tree removal professional to assess the situation and determine the best course of action.
