Removing Branches and Trees That Maybe Dangerous

Trees play an important role in our environment and it is only through proper care that we can continue to enjoy the benefits that urban trees provide. Poor care can only result in the eventual loss of some of our trees that we love to see everyday. Trees give shade and shelter not only to us but to a host of our natural wildlife and for this reason alone we should strive to preserve and maintain the trees that we have.

There can be a time when a branch or even the whole tree needs to be removed because it is become a hazard to the general public or a property nearby. There can be obvious signs that this needs to be done e.g., the tree is dead, and the branches are falling down, but sometimes this is no so clear signals and a tree survey can be done to see if there is a potential risk from the tree.

When It Is Obvious The Tree Could Be Dangerous

  • The tree is leaning over
  • Splitting and cracks in the tree trunks
  • The roots and branches have mushrooms, conks, and brackets growing on them
  • Decay already showing on branches that are bigger than 2 inches
  • When a branch is larger than the others
