Tree Issues We Inspect to Avoid Emergency Tree Removal:
Cavities In Your Trees
If there’s a hole in the tree, it could be a potential issue. For example, if it is located at the lower part of the trunk, it could cause the tree to fall over in high winds. If it’s a larger area or the tree is decaying, it could break if the wind is high enough
Leaning Trees
You may have noticed a leaning tree in your yard. That is why you call in professional tree service inspectors to determine if the lean is an issue. Typically, trees leaning over 45 degrees has a higher chance of falling.
Split Trees
Have you noticed a split tree in your yard? Splits can happen for a variety of reasons. This could be because two trunks have grown together. This represents a point of weakness in the tree itself. Having a professional tree service come out and investigate is vital.
Root Rot
Different root fungi can begin to grow and rot the roots right out from under the tree itself. It’s vital that if this is reported that you have the tree removed from the property. When a tree is losing it’s root structure, it is much easier to blow over even in winds.
Co-Dominate Leads
A codominant lead is simply where one tree has multiple main trunks that are very similar in size. Typically, those trees that have a “U” shape to them are fine. However, those with a more solid “V” shape will split in two.Call Dusty's Tree Services to determine the best course of action for any co-dominate lead trees you may have.
CODIT
Has The Tree Healed Itself? – Whenever a tree has been wounded, it will try to heal itself. Bark will regrow over the wound and cover the top of the issue. However, if the bark doesn’t cover the issue all the way, the tree will actually start to rot.
BE PROACTIVE
One of the best things you can do right now to safeguard your property is to call the office to set up a tree inspection. The licensed arborist can come out and inspect the trees lining your property to ensure that it’s safe for hurricane season. You can discuss any concerns you have with our tree professionals. Whether you need our tree trimming service, tree cutting service, or tree removal service, we’re here to help.
