The Hidden Dangers of Dead Trees in Your Yard
Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Remove Them
Dead or dying trees may seem harmless, but they pose serious safety risks — especially during storms or heavy winds. Weak limbs can fall unexpectedly, damaging property, power lines, or worse, causing injury.
Common signs a tree may be dead or dying:
- Absence of leaves or seasonal growth
- Cracks in the trunk or large branches
- Mushrooms or fungal growth at the base
- Peeling or missing bark
Removing dead trees is not only a safety precaution—it helps protect nearby trees, prevents pest infestations, and improves your property’s appearance. If you’re unsure about a tree’s condition, our certified arborists are here to help with a free on-site evaluation.
