Most homeowners have no idea when a tree is becoming dangerous.
Every year, trees that appear healthy suddenly fail, causing costly damage to homes, vehicles, fences, and landscapes. In some cases, they can even create serious safety hazards for families.
The good news? Most hazardous trees show warning signs long before they fall.
Dead branches, thinning canopies, cracks in the trunk, fungal growth, and sudden leaning can all indicate that a tree needs attention. Knowing what to look for can help you catch problems early and avoid expensive emergencies later.
Swipe through our FAQ carousel to learn some of the most common signs of tree decline and when it's time to call a professional.
