Removing Dangerous Trees: Cut Them Down Before It's Too Late!

A dangerous tree in front of your house is a threat to the safety of property and buildings. If it collapses, it can fall on a house, fence or touch electrical wires, which will cause a fire. Let’s discuss why trees become dangerous, their signs, and how the Mandarin tree removal service benefits you.

 

How to identify Dangerous Trees: Signs & Symptoms

 

 To avoid problems caused by the collapse of emergency trees and to cut them down in time, it is necessary to understand as early as possible that the tree on the site has become dangerous and that it needs to be cut down urgently.

 

The main features of a dangerous tree include the following:

 

  • Large cracks in the tree trunk, splitting off part of the trunk, or even splitting the trunk in half,
  • Large hollows in the trunk, the appearance of woodpeckers. It can also be a signal that a tree is infected with a bark beetle,
  • Mass exfoliation of the bark from the trunk.
  • The strong slope of the tree, including hanging branches on neighboring trees,
  • A large number of dry branches, off-season yellowing of the crown, excessive drying of foliage.

 

Why Does The Tree Become Dangerous?

 

  • The external mechanical impact causes damage to the tree
  • Weather effects: lightning strikes, the formation of cracks in the trunk due to frost damage, the consequences of abnormal weather events, such as freezing rain.
  • Damage to the root system. Such damage can occur due to weather events (robust and hurricane-force wind gusts) or result from human activity.
  • Age of the tree. Old trees are more susceptible to diseases and pests.

 

Features And Difficulties of Removing Dangerous Trees

 

 The technology used to remove damaged or dangerous trees directly depends on their condition and the surrounding infrastructure. But things become more manageable if you opt for the tree removal service in St Augustine, FL.

First, the arborist carefully examines the dangerous tree, exceeding the degree of the damage. After this, they decide to cut the tree. If the site allows, and it is possible to cut down the emergency tree entirely from the root without risk, this will be the easiest way to solve the problem.

 If it is impossible to cut down the entire tree and healthy neighboring trees, they can remove a dangerous tree in parts. To perform the tree cutting work, professional tree cutters use special equipment. Mandarin tree removal services have trained staff for removing dangerous trees.
