Tips to identify Hazardous Tree and its Removal

In most cases, trees provide beauty and shade around our property. But there may come a time when one of those trees is set to fall and can cause property damage, or worse, bodily harm. That is why it is wise to be able to identify visible signs that a tree may become a hazard before it happens. A decaying tree is also prone to failure. Hazardous Tree removal services examine the branches and the truck for peeling barks and hollow or decaying areas. The presence of fungal activity including conks and mushrooms growing at the base of the tree, branches or stems also indicates advanced decay.

Some broken branches still attached to the tree. Whether partially or completely separated from the trunk, hangers may fall unexpectedly. Thus, they should be removed immediately. Remember to remove the stubs left by the broken or dead branches to avoid the spread of decay. Cankers are usually caused by wounding or disease. They are hollow areas on the branch or stem where the bark is supposed to be. Proper planting, maintenance, and care can prevent a tree from becoming hazardous in many cases. Even with the best of intentions, a person without tree care knowledge and experience can cause more harm than good when planting a tree.

Some common mistakes include planting in the wrong season or soil conditions, inappropriate hole depth and planting too close to buildings, sidewalks or other structures.  When a tree is planted, its anticipated mature size, as well as the location of sidewalks, driveways, buildings, power lines, and future obstructions, must be considered. Construction impacts can also affect tree stability. Damage to roots or compaction can cause root loss and may lead to failure of the entire tree. Check for cracks in trunks or branches. Trees with a high degree of lean are also more likely to have failures.

Watering near the trunks of oaks and other deciduous trees can cause root fungi to develop that damage and weaken the roots. Heavy canopies are more likely to have failures during high winds or storms. To operate as complicated as emergency tree work, tree services must have the appropriate expertise and equipment. There have been many times when large storms sweep through all area and caused major tree damage. Hiring a licensed, and fully insured professional tree service is an absolute necessity. Lives are lost, and major injuries occur every day in the tree service business.

Hazardous Tree removal companies hire a reputable, experienced, and well-equipped company that can get the work completed safely. Make sure the contractor you hire is properly insured for injuries or property damage to the crew, yourself, and even your neighbors while taking out the tree. Most people tend to underestimate the kind of material they will have to get rid of after a tree is removed. Cutting down a big tree would leave tons of debris, branches, and wood that cannot fit in the garbage pickup. Therefore, it is important to hire a company with an on-site shredder to make the work easier and reduce disposal costs.
