Tree removal is never an easy decision for homeowners, but there are moments when it becomes necessary to ensure safety and sustainability. Recognizing these signs early can prevent accidents and maintain the health of your overall landscape.
Key Indicators That a Tree May Need Removal:
- Structural Instability: Cracks, splits, or hollow trunks often signal internal decay.
- Root Damage: Exposed or damaged roots can compromise a tree’s stability.
- Leaning Trees: A sudden lean or one greater than 15% is a red flag.
- Pest Infestation: Termites or carpenter ants often target weakened trees.
In Frisco, TX, weather patterns such as strong storms exacerbate these risks. According to the National Storm Damage Center, trees account for $1 billion in property damage annually in the U.S. Addressing potential hazards proactively can save thousands in repair costs.
