Dead or Dangerous Trees? When It’s Time to Remove a Tree
Trees enhance property value, provide shade, and improve air quality, but when they become hazardous, they can pose a serious risk to homes, businesses, and people. Knowing when to remove a tree is crucial for maintaining a safe and beautiful landscape.
At Kolcun Tree Care, we specialize in professional tree removal, tree pruning, stump grinding, and arborist services throughout Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, Savannah, and the surrounding Lowcountry.
Signs It’s Time to Remove a Tree
1. The Tree is Dead or Dying
Signs of a dead tree include no leaves, peeling bark, brittle branches, and fungal growth. A dead tree is a serious hazard and should be removed immediately.
2. The Tree is Structurally Unstable
Deep cracks, a leaning trunk, or exposed, rotting roots indicate that a tree may not be structurally sound.
3. Storm Damage Has Weakened the Tree
Strong winds and hurricanes can leave trees vulnerable. If a tree is partially uprooted or has large broken branches, it may require emergency tree removal.
4. The Tree is Causing Property Damage
Tree roots can damage foundations and sidewalks, while branches may interfere with rooftops and power lines.
5. The Tree is Infested with Pests or Disease
Tree diseases and pest infestations can spread and weaken the structure of a tree, requiring removal.
