At JA Landscaping and Hauling Inc., we understand that healthy trees are not only beautiful but also essential to the safety and value of your property. However, trees can experience a wide range of issues that may go unnoticed until it’s too late. Knowing the warning signs early can help prevent serious damage or costly removals down the road.
Here are some clear signs your trees need professional attention:
1. Dead or Dying Branches
If you notice large, dead branches that are brittle or falling off, your tree may be in distress. Dead limbs can pose a serious safety risk, especially during storms or high winds. A professional arborist can assess the extent of the damage and recommend pruning or removal.
2. Visible Cracks or Splits in the Trunk
Cracks, splits, or holes in the trunk are red flags that the structural integrity of the tree may be compromised. These can lead to potential tree failure and should be inspected right away.
3. Fungal Growth or Mushroom Activity
The presence of mushrooms or fungi around the base of a tree could indicate internal decay. While not all fungi are harmful, their growth often signals rot inside the tree that isn’t visible on the surface.
4. Leaning or Unstable Trees
A sudden lean or noticeable movement in your tree’s base may suggest root issues or soil instability. Trees that are no longer securely anchored can fall without warning, putting nearby structures or people at risk.
5. Pest or Disease Infestation
Discolored leaves, unusual leaf drop, holes in foliage, or the presence of insects may be symptoms of a larger pest or disease problem. Early detection by a professional can save your tree and prevent the issue from spreading to others nearby.
6. Root Damage or Soil Issues
If you’ve recently had construction, grading, or heavy equipment near your trees, the root system may have been damaged. Exposed or damaged roots can affect the health and stability of the tree and should be evaluated by a professional.
7. Poor Overall Tree Health
A thinning canopy, sparse leaves, or delayed leaf growth in the spring may point to declining health. These symptoms are often subtle but can worsen over time without proper care.
