Have you found a tree on your property that is unhealthy, too large, or poses a threat to your house or your neighbors’ property? Trees beautify your land, provide shade, and increase the market value of the property, but they need adequate maintenance. Most people do not pay much attention to tree maintenance until something goes wrong, such as the tree leaning to a certain direction, branches touching their roof, or signs of disease. It is always important to know when to seek the services of a tree service provider to avoid incurring unnecessary expenses, or even endanger the lives of your family and the trees themselves. Below are some of the signs that should make you seek the help of a professional.
When Should You Call For Expert Tree Service
Tree Has Dead or Dying Branches
Dead or dying branches are one of the most apparent signs that a tree is in need of care. These branches may look dry and brittle, or may not bear leaves even in the growing season. They may gradually degrade and fall off, and this may cause damage to your house, car, or even harm a person. A professional tree expert can prune or cut off these branches without causing any harm and ensure that the tree is healthy.
The Tree Is Leaning More Than Normal
If a tree starts leaning to one side, then it could be a sign that something is wrong. It is normal for trees to have some inclination, but if this inclination is much more than usual, or if the roots appear to be coming out of the ground, it may be in danger of falling. A tree service expert would determine if the tree can be saved or if it has to be taken down to prevent it from falling. Leaving a leaning tree can be dangerous because it is likely to cause severe damage if it falls on its own or during a storm.
Cracks or Cavities in the Trunk
The trunk is the major body of the tree and bears most of the tree’s weight. If you notice some deep cracks, holes, or any signs of rotten wood, then the tree may not be in good condition. Such signs indicate that the tree has a compromised internal structure, and it can easily split into pieces. Professionals have the necessary equipment and experience to assess the condition of the tree and make the right decision as to whether the tree can be saved or not.
Tree Grows Too Close to Power Lines or Structures
Trees that are planted close to electricity power lines, rooftops, fences, or any other structures can be very dangerous. Huge branches can break off and hit the house or cause other harm. If you see branches reaching out to the power lines or growing over your home, then it is high time to seek the help of a tree service expert. Never try to trim branches that are touching or close to power lines—it is very risky.
You Notice Signs of Disease or Pest Infestation
Just like human beings, trees too are capable of falling ill. If the leaves are yellowing, you notice some kind of growths on the bark, or there are holes on the trunk, then the tree may be ill or infested with pests. Some of the common tree pests are termites and borers that attack the structural integrity of the tree by feeding on it from the inside, leading to decay. An expert can help identify the problem and recommend the solutions to treat the tree. If the disease has extended to the other branches or the trunk, it may be advisable to cut down the tree.
