5 Signs a Tree on Your Property Needs to Be Removed

Trees add beauty and shade to your property, but sometimes they become unsafe. Knowing when a tree needs professional removal can protect your home, family, and surrounding landscape. Here are five key signs it may be time to call a tree specialist.

1. The Tree Is Leaning Suddenly

A tree that develops a lean—especially after a storm—may be losing root support. Sudden leaning can indicate an imminent fall and should be inspected quickly.

2. Visible Rot or Decay

Soft wood, hollow trunks, or crumbling bark are indicators of internal rot. A decaying tree can collapse at any time, even in calm weather.

3. Large Dead Branches

If multiple limbs are dead or falling, the tree may be diseased or dying. Deadwood poses serious risks during high winds and storms.

4. Fungus at the Base

Mushroom growth or fungal conks at the trunk’s base often signal internal decay that you cannot see from the outside, weakening the tree from within.

5. Root Damage

Construction, soil erosion, or pest activity can compromise the root system’s stability, creating future hazards for your property and structures nearby.

Final Thoughts

If you spot any of these warning signs, don’t wait. A professional evaluation can prevent costly damage and improve safety around your home.
