Signs a Tree May Need to Be Removed
Some trees can be improved with trimming, while others pose a risk if they remain standing. Common signs a tree may need removal include:
Large dead or dying branches
Visible rot or hollow areas in the trunk
Cracks running vertically along the trunk
A tree that continues to lean over time
Roots lifting sidewalks, driveways, or foundations
Trees growing too close to homes, fences, or power lines
If you notice one or more of these issues, a professional evaluation can help determine whether removal is the safest solution.
Tree Trimming vs. Tree Removal
Tree trimming is often the right choice when a tree is healthy but overgrown. Trimming improves structure, appearance, and overall tree health.
Tree removal may be recommended when:
The tree is dead or severely declining
Structural damage makes trimming ineffective
The tree presents a safety risk to nearby structures
Root systems are causing damage to property
A certified tree service can explain the best option based on your specific situation.
